For example: "Staring at the ignition, I started up my car."
What is the rule on this, and can someone point me to it? I've always been told by crit partners not to use an -ing verb at the beginning of a sentence, but I'm having trouble explaining it to someone else (as to why not to do it).
Her work is in past tense, but she is using -ing words to start sentences, just like the one above.
Any links are appreciated.
Thanks so much.
