She began her career, winning 15 awards

English Language Learners Asked on January 21, 2021

  1. She began her acting career in hollywood, winning 15 awards for her work between 2008 and 2012.

Q: Does sentence 1) sound like she won 15 awards first and then began her acting career or is the sentence correct as it is?

One Answer

As has been pointed out in comments, it would be impossible for someone to win awards for something before they started, and yet your sentence does sound a little odd because the second statement reads as a dependent clause.

It would be clearer if you wrote:

She began her acting career in Hollywood and went on to win 15 awards for her work between 2008 and 2012.
