I have a problem with expanding it into a full sentence:
Watson/see/Barrymore/signal/light/window.

It's from 'The hound of the Baskervilles". The man standing at the window with the light (a lamp or a candle).

Is this correct:
1.Watson saw Barrymore signalling the light through the window.
Or maybe:
2. Watson saw Barrymore giving the signal with the light through the window.

'Through', 'across' or 'at' - which preposition is better here?
 
I'd use "Watson saw Barrymore signalling with the light from the window".

Who asked you to do this exercise, angelene?

It's from the course book. First there is a story in the form of comic. And then this exercise.

When I see your answers it seems so obvious :)
But when I've tried by myself first, you can see what I've come up with :)
