Punctuation: When a participial phrase begins a sentence, a comma should be placed after the phrase.
I found a comprehensive information about using comma. I know Arriving..., and I found... mean the same time and also Washing..., and Frank... Do the below two sentences mean the same as the above two sentences?
I found that it was closed, arriving at the store.
Frank developed sore muscles, washing and polishing the car.
Sentences far above are from Purdue OWL: Gerunds, Participles, and Infinitives
