May I know if the sentence below is grammatically correct? No, it's not correct. And I can only guess at what you are trying to say. Do you mean 'They were shocked to see a ghost.'?
Yes, I mean they were shocked to see a ghost. However, the student wrote, " Shocked, they saw a ghost" and I wonder if they way he wrote is grammatically correct. I was confused. Thank you very much for advising! Best wishes for a great year ahead. Happy 2011! :-D
:up: ...and of course, after the comma [I have used dashes in my example], you can change the aspect; but the same remains true - the sight of the ghost caused the shock:
'Shocked - they had, after all, seen a ghost - they were made to sit down and drink a cup of mild sweet tea.'
