您好
我在读correct writing 遇到了2个问题 (因为没有详解)
想请教大家~~
下面都是错误的句子 虽然有解答 但是不知道要如何改正
1. To understand the philosopher’s ideas,
defining his terms was my first order of business.
答案 contains dangling modifier
2.He left the city hall just after five o’clock,
and this caused him to be late for dinner.
答案 contains a faulty reference of a pronoun
另外想请教大家 你们会用
0.36 mile or 0.36 miles
我在网络上讨论区看过 似乎两种用法都有人使用
再麻烦了喔:)

1. To understand the philosopher’s ideas,I defined his terms as my first order of business.因为在原句中，"to understand...idea" 并没有修饰对应的名词"I"2. Because he left the city hall just after five o’clock, he was late for dinner.因为原句中，我们无法得知this代表的是He left, 或 He leftthe city hall, 或 He left the city hall just after 5 o'clock虽然此句中或许可依文意判断，但有时候单从文意并不能确定，故在写作中应避免此种错误0.36 miles

太感谢您了! !我了解了~~~
