"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>
