            NO IT IS NOT EVEN CORRECT. RIGHT DESCRIBES A DIRECTION. WE WENT "RIGHT" INTO THE ROOM SHOULD BE WE WENT INTO THE ROOM UNLESS YOU CHANGED DIRECTION TO THE RIGHT.

              Yes you use " I got off "THE"... The next word after off should be the , an, a etc.. b/c the next word is going to be a nown.

                it is bad grammar. You don't say 'I got up off of the chair' Instead 'I got up off the chair'
