分詞節が正しい主語を持つことを確認する

분사 구문의 주어 일치 확인

Participle clauses must logically connect to the main clause subject: 'Walking home, I saw a rainbow' (I was walking). NOT 'Walking home, a rainbow appeared' (rainbow wasn't walking). Common error to avoid.

分词从句必须在逻辑上与主句主语相连：'Walking home, I saw a rainbow'（我在走路回家时看到了彩虹）是正确的。但'Walking home, a rainbow appeared'（彩虹不会走路）是错误的。这是需要避免的常见错误。

Las cláusulas de participio deben conectarse lógicamente al sujeto de la oración principal: 'Walking home, I saw a rainbow' (yo estaba caminando). NO 'Walking home, a rainbow appeared' (el arcoíris no estaba caminando). Error común a evitar.

分詞節は主節の主語と論理的につながる必要があります：「Walking home, I saw a rainbow」（私が歩いていた）は正しい。「Walking home, a rainbow appeared」（虹は歩いていない）は間違い。避けるべき一般的な誤りです。

분사 구문은 주절의 주어와 논리적으로 연결되어야 합니다: 'Walking home, I saw a rainbow' (내가 걷고 있었다). 'Walking home, a rainbow appeared'는 틀립니다 (무지개가 걸은 것이 아니므로). 흔히 범하는 오류이니 주의해야 합니다.
