1)After the assault and battery charge being dropped, he flew to Hong Kong.
2)The assault and battery charge being dropped (absolute phrase), he flew to Hong kong. 3)The friends bickering in 90s (absolute phrase), they become friend again today. Are they correct? Thank you |

With "after," there is a complete clause, so an absolute doesn't work here. 2)The assault and battery charge being dropped 3)The friends bickering in 90s (absolute phrase), they become friend again today. This sentence doesn't work with an absolute; the clauses have to have different subjects with absolutes. Rachel |

1)The finanical problem making a start-up company hard to compete with the giant rivals in the 90s/the nineties, either the CEO tried to sell it or he wanted to merger with another start-up enterprise. 2)The door slamming hard, which alarmed a door man, he saw Mr. Smith angrily walked toward him. 3)The crowd cheering on Broadway, with a big smile, the mvp John Smith holding Vincent Lombardi trophy and his teammates walked past them Are they correct as they are written?
