That's a very dangerous combination, I'm sure, although driving while people are answering questions on StackExchange is generally not considered so dangerous.When you buy through our links, Insider may earn an affiliate commission. In fact, you could drive while answering questions on StackExchange. Here it is implied that the person driving is also texting at the same time.ĭriving while people are texting is a very different thing that people generally do not mind so much, as long as you aren't the one doing the texting. You could also drive while texting, although this is also dangerous and may be illegal. You are, however, driving while someone is intoxicated. If you are sober and you are driving a car with a passenger who is intoxicated, you are not driving while intoxicated. Which means that the person doing the driving was intoxicated. So we have such things as driving while intoxicated, The condition applies to the person performing the action. The "condition" in this construction could be a simple adjective, a word form that serves as an adjective, or an entire descriptive phrase generally, it would be something that would also fit in the blank in the sentence, "I was _." There is a construction in English that has the form Popcorn is the only acceptable snack to consume while you watch a movie. “You” and “one” are both pronouns that can stand for “a person”: Popcorn is the only acceptable snack to consume while one watches a movie.
It's also less pompous without the "for one" : This version might sound pompous in spoken English as it is more formal than normal speech tends to be. Popcorn is the only acceptable snack for one to consume while one watches a movie. In the original sentence, a subject like "one" is understood. Popcorn is the only acceptable snack for these people to consume while those other people are watching a movie. The inclusion of "people are" makes it sound like the people who are watching the movie are different from the people who should consume popcorn. Popcorn is the only acceptable snack to consume while people are watching a movie I agree with this answer and this comment answer that say the original sentence is grammatical.
