Dina : Well calculating the capital last night, I found something weird with the final report. Fortunately, I still have two more days to prepare all the things before final meeting.
Calculating the capital last night, I found something weird with the final report derived from two sentences : I Calculating the capital last night, I found something weird with the final report. The subject in both sentences are the same : I. By modifying the verb in the first sentence into V-ing and omitting the subject in the first sentence, we can combine the sentence into one. Such sentence shows about two actions happen in the same time to a person. We can also say the example above as : When I prepared the report last night , I found that I need more data.
