For example:
It is a thing that works producing stuff.
This feels wrong to me, but I can’t quite put my finger on what exactly is wrong about it. It seems like it’s trying to be a participle phrase, but it’s not necessarily modifying the current state of “it”, and is, instead, describing what “it” is.
If it is, indeed, a participle phrase, then it should be able to be written as
Producing stuff, it is a thing that works.
But, to me, this doesn’t seem correct either, so it leads me to believe that the very structure of the sentence is incorrect.
@Kalcifer
If I’m honest; Neither of those sentences make any sense to me as a native English speaker (reader, in this case).
What idea are you trying to communicate? That there is a thing, and it works (Is functiobal? Is operating presenly?), and it produces stuff?
