Which are correct:
1) There stood a dresser in the corner of the room.
2) There danced a tall woman in the middle of the dance hall.
3) There was dancing a tall woman in the middle of the dance hall.
4) There ate a couple in the middle of the restaurant.
5) There were eating a couple in the middle of the restaurant.
I think they get worse as we go down the list! I don't think '4' and '5' work. The others do, although they sound a bit literary.
Gratefully,
Navi.
