VERB-ing - simultaneous with AND subordinate to

by vishalc581 Mon Nov 16, 2015 1:33 am

Hi Ron,

I saw the below points in 1 your posts:



these modifiers refer to the subject and action of the preceding clause, and imply a very specific relationship between the modifier and the action in that clause: the -ING action must be either
(1) simultaneous with AND subordinate to, or
(2) a direct and inevitable consequence of,
the action in the main clause.


Can you please tell me what does this mean " simultaneous with AND subordinate to".

Please explain with some example.
Thanks & Regards,
Vishal

if you saw this in a post, please reply to that post in the thread where you saw it.
it makes no sense to start a new thread to continue a discussion that's already ongoing in another thread.

thank you.
