Sentence: I just tried rebooting the appliance, but it seems it just goes up... Wed Feb 06, 2008 7:09 am  Sentence: I just tried rebooting the appliance, but it seems it just goes up...
 

Hi Teacher,

Can you please reply for my queries?

I just tried rebooting the appliance, but it seems it just goes up, when it is ideal.
>>we are using two commas in one sentence, is this ok?
>>before but do we need comma?

A man in army trousers came running down the path toward the boats, shooting at the solders.
>> “Came running” is proper grammar?

>>we are using two commas in one sentence, is this ok?-- There is no limit to the number of commas a sentence can contain.
>>Before 'but' do we need a comma?-- Yes. (However, I do not understand the meaning of your sentence.)

A man in army trousers came running down the path toward the boats, shooting at the soldiers.
>> “Came running” is proper grammar? -- Yes.

Hi Sir,

Thank you for the reply.
In second sentence, I did not understand that we are using second form of come (came) along with this we are using "running".

Can you please help me to understand? because if I construct this sentence I will write this sentence as follows:
A man in army trousers "was" running down the path toward the boats, shooting at the soldiers.

I will use "was" rather then "came", as I am telling the past to third person.

Several verbs are possible; if they are in the past tense, then the event is in the past:

A man came running down the path
A man went running down the path
A man was running down the path
A man appeared running down the path

If I am not wrong, you mean to say here "running" is not a verb.

Note** I like in your previous reply, that you marked 'bold' words where I did mistake in my question itself, I will appreciate if you continue this.

Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Ashvini
