Dear teacher i'm confused these sentences please clearly explain ▪︎ clapping his hands, the singer sang happily. ▪︎the singer sang happily clapping his hands.
Hi again teacher Dave! I know that subjects in two clauses must be agree. For instance; Being selected for national team, he is happy. I am puzzled about a sentence in the reading text which is "He forgot the anniversary, making her very upset." But here "He forgot the anniversary, so he made her very upset' seems to be not true . I would be grateful if you could explain it to me.
Dear sir, I would like to understand a bit more about how to form a complex sentence using a past participle clause. If we want to connect the following two sentences, which one (1 or 2) is more appropriate? A. Joe was tired of having cereal for breakfast every day. B. He had congee instead this morning. 1. Tired of having porridge for breakfast every day, Joe had congee instead this morning. 2. Being tired of having porridge for breakfast every day, Joe had congee instead this mornning. Could you give me some advice?

This definition stresses on the totality of environment, implying that every organism including human beings has its own environment. Sir, kindly tell me that the present participle " implying " modifies which word in the above sentence. Is it modifying " this definition " or " the totality of environment " or the whole main clause " This definition stresses on the totality of environment " ? Sir, please please help me.....

I think 'Wanting a coffee...'is not a Subordinate Clause it is a phrase .A clause as far as I know must have a finite verb.
Thank you it is very good lesson and amazing explanation
