Choose the grammatically correct sentence.

  • A.The teacher asked the student with a frown on his face,to leave the room.
  • B.The teacher asked with a frown on his face the student to leave the room.
  • C.With a frown on his face,the teacher asked the student to leave the room.
  • D.The teacher asked the student to leave the room with a frown on his face.

Answer: C

Correct answer: With a frown on his face, the teacher asked the student to leave the room.

With a frown on his face describes the teacher, and fronting it puts it immediately before the noun it modifies.

Why the others fail:

  • The teacher asked the student with a frown on his face - the frown now belongs to the student.
  • The teacher asked with a frown on his face the student… - the phrase splits the verb from its object.
  • …to leave the room with a frown on his face - this makes the frown the manner of leaving.
