Example #2
What was your favorite scene ?
“Scene” is used when talking about movies, TV shows, or plays. It refers to a part of the movie or TV show or play. A movie is broken up in parts or scenes. Just like before, you can answer with, “I really liked…” So for example, “I really liked when he proposed.” or “I really liked when he drove the car really fast.” Or something like that.
One more time.

Example #7
I wonder when the next movie will come out
A lot of people say this when talking about a movie series. You can’t use this for a single movie because it says “next movie”. It has to be a series. Using “come out” means when a movie starts showing in a theater. You can use this with any movie. So, for example, “I wonder when Aladdin will come out”. Or something like that.

“Previews” are the ads in a movie theater, or the commercials that are shown before a movie. The word has “pre”, “pre” always means something like before. So previews. The commercials before a movie.
