It was a very long and uncomfortable direct flight. I had been sitting in the place for straight 18 hours. The man sitting next to me “had been snoring” all the way long while the lady in front of me “had been scolding” her naughty son. And the stewardess spilled some coffee on my shirt because the plane was going through a turbulence at that time.
(1)Is this short paragraph all correct? If not, how should I revise it?
(2)I had been sitting in the place for (a) straight 18 hours. Should I add an "a" before "straight"?
(3)The man sitting next to me “had been snoring”.../the lady in front of me “had been scolding” her naughty son. Can I say "was snoring/was scolding"(the past progressive tense) instead?
(4)In the final sentence, I think it should be without the "a". Am I right?
→The plane was going through [STRIKE]a[/STRIKE] turbulence at that time.
