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.

<span>Here's what I found:

STEP 1: Move the object to the subject position.

STEP 2: Change the verb to the passive, making sure that BE takes the same tense as the verb in the active sentence.

STEP 3: Drop the subject. Example of passive voice without the subject <span>or move it to a position after the verb.

Hope this helps!</span></span>
