Grammar structure of a sentence in a book
Hi Everyone,
I just came across this sentence while reading my novel and I didn't really understand the meaning and grammar structure of it.
It will leave the base itself exposed, giving Alex and his men a perfect opportunity to strike.
Why can we simply place a comma and turn a verb into its continuous form when connecting two sentences?
What does the sentence mean?
Would anyone please help me out with this question?
Many thanks in advance
Kenny
