Saying that someone, "walked out," of the "room," "while," "she," "was speaking" is to say five Observations: the walking, the place, the time frame, reference to a third person, and the action of the third person.
Observations, when said in a conversational tone of voice and free of contrary gestures, are Green. They are descriptive of actual occurrances. |
