I am wondering if the second sentence is grammatically right compared to the first one.
I understand what the 2nd sentence is trying to show Grammatically; the inversion
But
I think the second sentence sounds right to me in spoken English, but technically, is the second one right grammatically in written English, or in formal English grammar tests?
1 Original: Gradually, the bath, taken alone, is a time when the child is comfortable with her imagination.
2 Paraphrasing: Gradually, the bath, taking alone, is a time when the child is comfortable with her imagination.
