on + gerund participle establishes a connection to the action or state of the main clause, but the temporal relationship is not topical. In this warning sign, for instance, it’s clear that certain precautions are to be taken before entering:
A short while later they heard
a noise outside; a man came through the barn door and stopped instantly upon seeing the horses, then cursed in a foreign tongue.
What makes a pilgrim to
the castle all the more curious when he’s the Fisher King?
Or one action is a signal to perform another without delay:
Upon hearing the first beating of the drum, you will assemble. When you hear the 2 rd beat of an erupting musical drum, you will advance with your weapons. Each time you do so, do so with your mighty hands. In a combat situation you hear the third drumming of the army, which is as follows: If you have a military formation, you will deploy.
Where one action clearly occurs after another:
Upon hearing and hearing the accusation, justices typically issued a warrant or a summons for defendant to appear before a justice.
How does the gerund participle take its temporal relations after on/upon?
Is it really true that the smartphone you’re considering may be the best?

Asked on June 18, 2021 in Grammar.
What do we see as the effing suffix for -like nouns in English? If all dictionary programs built into word processing software attempted to keep up with all of them, their data size would be massive.
What is the popular text dictionary? No listing for breadlike (though Wiktionary does), but that hardly means it’s “not a word. Even US Army mentions ny variety
of commercial or homemade bread or breadlike product as rolls, muffins, biscuits and bagels. ”
Can you still use the hyphen for making gingerbread dough
but it doesn’t work for baking?
How do I find Breadlike or Bread-like using search engines? If you must, it’s up to you. If Breadlike is a word you can edit, post, and share (without using any ads) you think it could be flagged as spam in
the dictionary?
