Verbs and Verbals (10)

這"謂語動詞和非謂語動詞"今天已是第十帖了，我也快成是貴州驢了，就此打住。分詞和不定式的用法還真是個語法難點，我們隻能多用多練，在錯誤中學習錯誤改正錯誤。尤其是那個dangling structure, 稍不留神老中老外但凡都愛這個錯。下麵是一組關於dangling structure的改錯題，望大家能給出正確答案，並在以後的寫作中少犯這個錯。

Now here is the chance for you to practice what you’ve learned in the last two sections.  The following are the sentences with dangling problems.  Rewrite them with correct sentences:

1.         Having been thrown in the air, the dog caught the stick.

2.         Smashed flat by a passing truck, Big Dog sniffed at what was left of a half-eaten hamburger.

3.         Changing the oil every 3,000 miles, the car seemed to run better.

4.         Raised in a small beach town, it is natural to miss the smell of the sea.

5.         Although nearly finished, we left the play early because we were worried about our sick cat.

6.         When taking a grammar quiz, concentration is everything.

7.         On completing the grammar quiz, leaving the classroom is acceptable.
