All right. This time, please allow me to practice participle clauses. How about these ones: "Getting up in the early morning, I noticed it was raining heavily" and "Sitting on a chair, he told me about his strange experience"? By the way, recently I've found a very strong supporter of the English grammar. Her name is Mary Norris and she was a copy editor for the magazine, "The New Yorker." She is dubbed a "Comma Queen." Now, please let me tell you about her explanations related to participles. May I?

Certainly. Quoting the following sentence, she points out a problem in grammar: "Seeing an artistic gymnast, Simone Biles, next to her competition at Pacific Rims, it seemed as if Isaac Newton had written a different set of laws on her behalf." Can you guess what is the grammatical problem with this sentence? For your information, she calls the problem the "dangling participle." Just to make things clear, I made a sentence using a participle "quoting."

Thank you for the compliment, but I'm afraid that we're not on the same page and what's more you carry the joke too far. All right, as you advised me, I'll try writing more present participle sentences. (Mr./Ms. correction teacher, please keep unchanged the parts which are related to the story line and please let me ask your opinion about Mary Norris's quote, if you like.)
