Incorrect omission of prepositions


Omission of the pronoun subject from the principal clause.

Rule: When the sentence begins with an adverbial clause, use the personal pronoun as the subject of the main clause.

Incorrect Usage: When he saw the ghost, was terrified.
                                           
Correct Usage: When he saw the ghost, he was terrified.
