Need to fix the English on this one. "Sits and smokes" or "is sitting and smoking" but you can't say "is sitting and smokes".
I think that is sitting near the door and smoking does not sound natural... better is sitting and smoking near the door but i get wrong answer
I entered "dad is sitting and smoking near the door", which was rejected - why?
It is a common TTS problem. You should be able to hear it in the slower version. Also, the sentence would sound unnatural without И, so a native or a fluent speaker would put И even without hearing it clearly.
True, but I guess it is something we must get used to. In Russian pop-songs, I hear "Ты и я" all of the time and it only sounds like 2 words.
It sounds awkward to use "he" here since we have one subject doing both actions.
