Bonus Question - Grammar10-05-12

By placing the participial phrase “always swimming back and forth” directly after the noun “fish” which it is meant to modify, you have made it clear that the subject of “swimming” is “fish” rather than “Angela”. Remember that any introductory participial phrase modifies the subject of the main clause, unless the sentence makes it explicitly clear that it does not.
