Dangling gerund: By studying so hard, we missed the six o'clock news.

A gerund is a verb ending in -ing that is used as a noun. Studying is the object of the preposition by. Only nouns or pronouns can be used as objects of the preposition. The problem in the original sentence is that the subject, the news, is not what was studying. Whoever was studying is missing - this creates the dangling part of the dangling gerund. In the corrected sentence, we is the subject of both the main verb, missed, and the gerund, studying.

give two reasons why you would paraphrase a text (rather than summarizing or quoting it) in your academic essay
il63 [147K]

The two reasons to paraphrase a text rather than summarizing or quoting it:

  1. To eliminate irrelevant details.
  2. To avoid plagiarism.

<h3>What is paraphrasing?</h3>

Paraphrasing is known as a process of restating the meaning of a text or passage using your own words. Paraphrasing helps one to understand the text personally. This is because the writer restates the text in his/her words.

We can see that paraphrasing will help eliminate irrelevant details and also help to minimize or avoid plagiarism.
