Answers:
Dude, I know what you mean!. English is so confusing (probably more for me than you!.)
Anyway with more study than neccesary i conclusion about the errors in your sentence!.
" I saw a dead body cycling to school!." this is wrong!. To join two sentences together you need what is called a "conjunction!." "while" is a suitable conjunction as it is present tense!.
I saw a dead body While going to school!. This sentence is grammatically correct!. Just to let you know, This type of sentence is known as a "complex sentence!." A complex sentence is a sentence that contains two pieces of information, In this case cycling to school and seeing a dead body!.


Sorry if that's too long an answer!!Www@Enter-QA@Com

The way Pappu said it,
it almost sound like he saw THE DEAD BODY cycling to school!.
He should have said,
"I was cylcing to school, and saw a dead body!."

~~ but since when did teachers talk about morbid stuff like that in their lessons!?
?Www@Enter-QA@Com

right -i saw a dead body when i was cycling to school!.

wrong- wot pappu said was wrong because once u r dead ur dead u can't move!. so the dead body can't possibly cycle to school otherwise it wouldn't be dead at all and that changes the wholeconcept now doesn't it!?Www@Enter-QA@Com

hey!!i think that i know it!.
pappu said that" i saw a dead body cycling to school"
it means he saw a dead body that was cycling to school!.but it has to be
"i saw a dead body cycling around school" or something of that sort!.i hope u got my pointWww@Enter-QA@Com

i think the mistake is in your question as THESE should be used instead of this also
you should have written SENTENCES instead of sentence as these are more than one sentence!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
