Great example – just one small edit, you don’t need “busy with cooking up” … just say, “busy cooking up.” You would say “busy with + an noun” Like, “I’m busy with the kids today” or “I’m busy with my move; can we talk next week?” But with a verb, just say, “I’m busy packing” or “I’m busy taking care of the kids”

Fantastic example! I think you would say, “central bank” instead of “national bank.” So you can say, “…plan to rob the central bank.”

In reply to Jhony. Interesting! You're not the only person to say that. I think I will do more about how things like this work in the US, so you can compare and contrast with where you are from.
