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 🤔😥😭
