John,

The website looks interesting and is fun to play around in, but you should
know that the following sentence is NOT correct (your "English Game" says it
is correct): "Digging in the garden, a brooch was found."

The sentence contains a 'dangling modifier' -- who exactly IS digging in the
garden? This sentence suggests it was a brooch, which could only be true in
a magical situation.

The correct sentence in this part of the game should have been: "The girls
marched around the oval, dressed in pretty frocks."

Keep on plugging!
