    Correct punctuation of a sentence
    Already dripping wet, Emily, Karla, Marcus, and Jason climb into the boat and start paddling.

    Is this right or wrong?

    As long as "already dripping wet" is intended to modify the people, I don't see anything wrong with it.

    Why do you ask?

    Edit: Well, I shouldn't assume they are people. They could be dogs with a penchant for paddling around in boats.

    We get tons of homework questions. Is this one of them? No? Is it from a book you are reading? Are you having a discussion at the local bar? Are you debating this with your mother-in-law?

    I need more explanation if you want me to hand you the answer.

    And it's "Are there any good people out there?"
