2. When but is used as a Preposition and preceded by any form of the Verb do, then but is followed with Bare Infinitive.
Incorrect– He did nothing but to wander.
Correct– He did nothing but wander.
3. Every Participile must have a Subject of Reference.
For example,
Incorrect– Being a rainy day Vijay decided to
stay at home.
Correct– It being a rainy day Vijay decided to
stay at home.
4. For completed action Having + Va is used in Active Voice, whereas Having + been + Va or Being + Va is used in Passive Voice. After should not be used in such a sentence.
For example,
Incorrect– After the leader having been killed,
the followers ran away.
Correct– The leader having been killed, the
followers ran away.
5. Participles like considering, judging, referring, concerning, regarding, viewing,
broadly speaking etc. do not take any Subject of Reference.
For example,
Correct – Considering the case, I took the
decision.
Here I is not a Subject of Reference of
considering. So, there is no Subject of
Reference for ‘considering, still the sentence is
correct.
