ing OPENER worksheet for 9-24-22

 Complete this worksheet.  Remember  a (4) or "ing opener" must be set up in a very specific grammatical way. 

The first part of the sentence should be a dependent clause or phrase followed by a comma. 

****RIGHT after the dependent clause's comma, the person or thing "doing the ing" is mentioned. 

This part of the sentence (after the dependent clause or phrase) is an independent clause. 

****That independent clause must be happening at the very same time as the "ing dependent clause."
