Is this sentence correct/good? >One day, he put his coat

>Correct
No, if 'heading' was meant to be a participle, the syntax is fucked, if gerund - the tenses don't work. Also, general narrative statements, like the ones that start with 'one day' work better with present simple

>One day, he puts his coat on and grabs a rifle, and heads to the roof
>Heading to the roof, he put his coat and grabbed a rifle (also ugly as fuck)
>One day, he put his coat on, grabbed a rifle, and headed to the roof

I don't think you need that first comma. Other than that, I don't se anything wrong.

Post an excerpt for laughs

How about...

>One day, he grabbed his rifle and put a coat on, heading to the roof.

Sound better, I think.

>putting on a coat with a rifle in one hand.

The "one day" is implied, i.e. one would have to be doing something temporally, so it could be cut out.

I would phrase it: "Grabbing his coat and a rifle, he went to the roof." I would say "went" instead of "head" because to make it grammatically correct one would have to use the word "headed," like this anon >>9382186 suggested, and that's just a distasteful fucking word imo

>>9382265
Whats ungrammatical about it? Seems fine
