This is from Wordbuilder by Guw Wellman.
Could you tell me why "sitting down" rather than just "sitting"?
Let us consult a dictionary: https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/sit-down_1?q=sit+down
To sit down = to move from a standing position to a sitting position.
But he did not move from a standing position to a sitting one.
Is it Ok to say like shown in the textbook?
