en, thanks in advance.

I am confused about present participle, and subject verb noun/ noun phrase + comma+ present participle/ no comma + present participle.

I do not know how to review all of these.
Since I have done many SC from prep. and I find out that many rules are here. Sometimes, mentors call it like" in researcing " as positional phrase, but I am puzzled because I treat it as prepositional + Verbing, and if it was, well I think I got it.

anyway, I do not know how to review it after I read too many resources such as SC grammar books from M, and prep. But different explanations about present participle and etc makes me crazzy. I need suggestions to help me overcome........


PS: first time, I post my problem, and I think there is not any specific question, so I just write overhere. yes, need help.

NM are present particples without commas

NM can be before noun and after noun

VM can be after the verb or before verb

Present participle with no comma modifies the noun it's next to.

Present participle with a comma before it can modify more, including the whole sentence before it.
