You'd have to say "She ran and she fell down", just as you can't say "He came home from the store after he went to the office" in some langs, because the first event has to be mentioned first (this is called "iconic sequence"). -- If you understand, John Cowan things are just as they are; http://www.ccil.org/~cowan if you do not understand, http://www.reutershealth.com things are just as they are. jcowan@reutershealth.com
