In (a), I'm trying to say that Leo was saddened that he was not selected for the program, using the adjective "saddened" to start the sentence. However, it sounded weird.
(a) Saddened, Leo was not selected for the program. (This original sentence sounds weird to me)
- if (a) is wrong to express the intended meaning, why is it wrong?
In (b), I'm trying to say that Leo was saddened. As a result, he withdrew from the team.
(b) Saddened, Leo withdrew from the team. (This original sentence sounds right to me)
- if (b) is correct to express the intended meaning, why is it correct?
