The Lit Shone Brightly...

[LiteraryArt]

Propell me into the multi-avenues that this phrase can be put.
But I'm looking to understand the Chemistry of the proper placement of (any) given Statement.

(Been to the Resource section...not saying its not there.
I just didn't get it.)

Example:

The light was bright through the Bay window.

The light showed (shown?) brightly through the Bay window.

The bright light showed (shown?) through the Bay window.

The light through the Bay window shown (showed?= "Was") bright.

Through the Bay window the light shown (Was?) bright.

Brightly through the Bay window the light "Shown."

(What is the proper formula?)

 

[Guest]

Shown is derived from show; shone from shine. You need "shone".

best, Perdita

edit: you had it right in the thread title.

Thank you~

I think I knew that...smiles

The proper formula would be?
(Object)(action)(place)
or
(object)(place)(action)
or
(place)(object)(action)
????????????????????

the helpers...(adverb)(adjetive)??

Then to become descriptive...

The light shone brightly through the Bay window.
(Its)(the)(and) warmth could be felt from the glasses magnification.
Almost blinding the reflective glare made me shield my eyes.

(describing the bright light (Its) is proper or (the)(and)

I agree with your "The light shone brightly through the Bay window."

And, in the instance you quote I'd use "its". However, I feel it would be better if you combined the latter two sentences.

Something like...

The light shone brightly through the Bay window. Through the magnification of the glass I felt its warmth, and was almost blinded by the glare; making me shield my eyes.

But, I've repeated "through". Hmmm.

I hope that helps (ish!)

I'm just going with your first examples.

The light was bright through the Bay window.
Kind of a silly sentence as the light would be bright in itself.

The light showed (shown?) brightly through the Bay window. - OK, use shone

The bright light showed (shown?) through the Bay window.
OK, but bright light with shone seems redundant to me.

The light through the Bay window shown (showed?= "Was") right.
You need to use "brightly" as it's an adverb for shone.

Through the Bay window the light shown (Was?) bright. - "brightly" again, with shone.

Brightly through the Bay window the light "Shown." - shone

There are rules of grammar, sure, but I don't use formulas nor give them. Do some research, I do not have the time to give you a serious lesson here.

Thanks~

Thank you Perdita~
and Tatelou~

I think I can sound out what sounds proper.
The possabilities being enormous...
I was wondering (or looking for) if there was a set pattern to
proper description?

Only if you are an academic grammarian. If you are interested in any creative writing, go with what sounds right (or ask others as you've done here).
