"I am reading the Longmire series by Craig Johnson. The present participle beginning is a constant annoyance. Hundreds of sentences begin with ing words, and, as you say, they are often grammatically incorrect. For example, \"Passing through the office, we started down the steps.\" Of course, they couldn't do both simultaneously. Now, I've never heard of an actual rule, but there should be a rule about not annoying the reader! I've written to the author suggesting that he needs an editor and proofreader to correct his vast number of spelling and structural errors!"
