what is a dangle a participle ????? Me too IC.????????
Is it a half-hair piece that gets caught on something as the hair-piece owner walks by what ever the hair piece got caught on?
Let me re phrase that to on which it (the hair-piece) got caught.
IC, something about another rule indicates one shouldn't end a sentence with a preposition what ever a preposition is. I remember that rule from a Beavis and Butthead movie. BTW, did those two ever graduate?
Lil “Standing at the corner, two children walked past me.” A better version of this example would be, “While I was standing at the corner, two children walked past me.”
Two children walked past me at 3PM today as I stood on the corner of Main and Elm Street. The old who, what, when, where thing helps. Many times we can only guess why something happens, so I leave out ‘why’ sometimes.
My rule is if I had to explain something to a non-English speaking person, what/how would I say it?
IC, I went to 28 different schools from 2nd. to 10th. Grades. It was explained several times but, like you, it didn't sink in. That is my excuse and I am sticking to it, although I got all A's in college English.
