PROBLEM WITH VERB-ING MODIFIERS

[Lakshminarayan]

1. when you have a COMMA + -ING type modifier, the following two rules hold:
* the modifier modifiers the <i>entire preceding clause</i> (i.e., the ACTION in that clause)
* the SUBJECT of the preceding clause is taken to be the SUBJECT of the -ing participle.

the above is quoted by ron.

can you please explain each of the above cases with some examples. no matter how much theory i read regarding verb-ing modifiers i fail to apply the concept on problems

Also ron i have compiled a document of your takeaways in SC questions they are of great help

thank you very much

wherever you took that quote from, there should be examples.

if you have further questions, you should post those questions ON the thread from which you took that quote, so that we can maintain continuous discussions as much as possible.

in general, you should NEVER start a brand-new thread by copying something from a different thread. just continue the discussion on the same thread!
