Hi everyone!
I have a question about the position of participle phrase.
Here are several sentences I am confused about:

1) Being a student, she studies hard everyday.
2) She being a student studies hard everyday.
3) She studies hard everyday, being a student.

Are they correct? and is there any difference among them due to different positions?
Thant you very much!
 
Hi everyone!
I have a question about the position of participle phrase.
Here are several sentences I am confused about:

1) Being a student, she studies hard every day. :tick:
2) She, being a student, studies hard everyday. With the addition of commas, now it's :tick:
3) She studies hard every day, being a student. :tick:

Are they correct (no question mark here) and is there any difference among them due to the different [strike]positions[/strike] word order?
Thank you very much!

Please see my notations in red and grey above. "Everyday" was incorrect. You needed "every day". With #1 and #3, once that was corrected, the sentences were OK. #2 needed two commas in order to be grammatically correct.

The meaning is the same in each one.
 
Thank you, teacher.
It's so kind of you to correct and answer my question!
