Usage of " Including "( ing modifier Rule)

by aditya.j » Mon Mar 26, 2012 10:37 pm
" Lillian Moller Gilbreth patented many kitchen appliances,including an electric food mixer and shelves inside refrigerator doors"


Iv taken this reference from Knewton Prep:

The rule states : "comma + "including" can stand for the preceding NOUN -- or the preceding NOUN + MODIFIERS, if there are modifiers attached to the noun."

Can anyone cite some more examples where this rule is tested?...i needed some more clarity on this concept..

I also needed some info on how to construct a participial phrase (like the skeletal framework of such a phrase)


Regards,

aJ

It could be argued that including is no different from any other VERBing preceded by a comma. Check my post here:
