Hi
i know that those sentences are grammatically wrong:
1- I found a hundred dollar bill on the sidewalk walking down the street. (While I was walking down the street)
2- She was also attending to her email talking on the phone. (While she was talking on the phone)
but i know that those sentences are correct:
3- A man ran out of the house shouting. (While he was shouting)
4- Joe hurt his knee playing football. (While he was playing)
the question is: why 1- / 2- are wrong
but 3- / 4- are correct
what make them wrong and what make them correct?
and how to make such sentences
and how can i comprehend whether the word "while" was omitted or "by" was omitted
especially in such sentences:
she entered the room singing
( "by" omitted or "while"?)
staying in the home i was studying English
("by" omitted or "while" ?)
i was watching television listening a song
("by" was omitted or "while"?)
(i was walking on the way talking to my phone)
("by" was omitted or "while"?)
COMPLICATED 🤔😥😭
