if you are in a scenario discussing past events and people wer eusing the correct points of reference the first statement is correct
If some one threw one of the front seats at you you could "take" a front seat in the back
If you only eat half the chocolates and gave the rest back you have both eaten them and given them back.
The english language is all about context

What is wrong with the following or is it ok in your book?
I went to the pictures tomorrow
I took a front seat in the back
a lady gave me some chocolates
i ate them and gave her them back
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You are either confused (I doubt that) or intentionally asking contrary questions. In the old days in America's west, there was a tribe of Indians that had members who were 'contraries', who always did thing contrarily.
Are you trying to start a modern 'contrary' category?

I sat down on the front seat.

I ate some and gave her the rest back.

First line:
Using past tense to describe a future event.
Second line:
conflicting adjectives - front vs back. COULD potentially describe a real situation if there are multiple rows of back seats.
Third line:
Women giving away chocolate? What planet are you from?
Fourth line:
Incorrect syntax structure - "I ate them and gave them back to her." or "I ate them and gave them back."
Of course either way that's pretty disgusting...
:edit:
TJ, finish it if you're gonna start it:
One bright day in the middle of the night two dead boys went out to fight. Back to back they faced each other then drew their swords and shot each other. A deaf policeman heard the noise then walked over and shot the boys. Don't believe my story's true, ask the blind man he saw too.
I see said the blind man to his dead wife as their lame kids ran up and down the stairs.

Thats cool!
As bad as:...One fine morning in the middle of the night
Two dead men got up to fight
Back to back they faced each other
Drew out their swords and shot each other!

It's just a good auld fashioned English nonsense verse. It's just for fun. Kinda like cheese, now that I think of it.

i like things like that- the poems that contradict themselves in every stansa.
Ladies and jellybeans
hobos and tramps
Cross-eyed mosquitoes
And bow-legged ants
I stand here before you
To sit down behind you
To tell you something
I know nothing about
One dark night in the middle of the day
Two dead boys got up to play
Back to back they faced each other
Drew their swords and shot each other
A deaf policeman heard the noise
And came to rescue the two dead boys
If you don't believe my tall, tall tale
Ask my blind uncle who saw it all
While banging his head against a wall
i had a teacher that used to recite this before every class, it was a music class, to example rythm...hmm.

It's just humerous Edward Lear style nonsense like "I've got an empty box full".
