a couple of my students wrote this sentence instead of writing the way you did.
I know that sometimes you can have the indirect object first and also the punctuation plays a role.
so should I give them the mark or not accept it!?

@r1hmah1234 For this sentence, it does sound unnatural to say it as " they are online chatting." But it still makes sense. It's just not natural sounding. So I would say that it is incorrect as the words are misplaced.
