"Sparkling in the sunlight, Marcus looked at his new car". This is wrong. The correct version is: "The car's sparkling in the sunlight, Marcus looked at his new car".What has been bold typed stands for the subject of the  present participle, <em>sparkling</em>. This subject is realised by the genitive case and it is a different subject from the main sentence / clause. What sparks is the car not Marcus. " With a grin of appreciation, the car looked almost brand new." wrong. The correct version is: " Marcus , with a grin  of  appreciation on his face, noticed the car ; the car  looked almost brand new." The new version- elements in bold type - has turned into an idependent sentence / clause. Marcus is the one that wears a smile at noticing his brand new car. The semi colon stands for "since". "Grabbing the keys,  the car was ready for a road trip." This is wrong. The right version is  " Marcus' grabbing the keys ; the car was ready for a road trip". The subject of the present participle , <em>grabbing , </em>has to be provided since it is Marcus that grabs the key ,not the car. The semi-colon claims importance for it stands for <em>because.</em>

Diary Entry on a visit to a desalination plant
sladkih [1.3K]

Today we visited the largest desalination plant in the United States.

The Carlsbad Desalination Plant is located in the San Diego County in California and it's the largest plant currently operating in the United States. The first thing that struck me was how massive it looked, the thing is huge! Not only is massive in size, but also in how mucho clean water it generates, at 50 million gallons of clean water! As impressive as this number is, it only represents 7% of the total intake for the San Diego County.

It opened in 2015 and the construction took almost 14 years, the idea for this desalination plant began after 5 years of drought in California, and now mor than ever we need to make better use of our resources.

I loved the visit! I hope to visit it with my family anytime soon.
