Is this correct english?

He embraced Leo by welcoming him in his humble abode and taking care of him in his dying days.
  

Top answer

Since and is a co-ordinating conjunction, the sentence seems to imply that "he" embraced Leo by taking care of him. I would prefer: He embraced Leo by welcoming him in his humble abode and took care of him in his dying days. CB
