  1. is incorrect unless you mean there was a bath next to the shower, and you used the bath, not the shower. It still sounds really odd as it appears to indicate that there would be another bath in the bathroom too.
  2. is incorrect - you shower under a shower, you take a bath in a bath. “I showered” or “I took a shower” is enough there. Pointing out that you showered under a shower is a redundancy. The only time you would need to specify something like this is if the shower were the over-bath type of shower. Then it would be possible to say, “I stood in the bath to shower”.
  3. is okay though the standard expression would be “I bathed in the river/pond.”
  4. I bathed under the waterfall.
  5. I bathed in the shower - incorrect.
    I bathed in the river - OK
    I bathed in the water-falls - incorrect.

Is sentence,

“Dozy, I am awaiting answer,” correct?

Thanks

5

No, but neither is your sentence above.

6

It should be “I am awaiting an answer”, but this sounds too demanding for this context. (Obviously I understand you didn’t mean it that way.)

“Could you help me?” would be OK.

However, I question whether replying like this to your own post is such a great idea when it changes the replies to “1” and makes it appear in the list as if it’s already been answered.

8

Please correct my sentence.

  1. I had/took a bath - the rest is a redundancy and sounds odd.
  2. correct but would not be used. (1) would be used. The only reason to use ‘bathed in a…’ would be if you bathed in something other than a bathtub.
  3. I sunbathed at the beach.

You need the definite article after ‘is’.
