Hi all,
I am so confused about how to use -ed and -ing modifier.
I've learned from e-gmat that -ed can only modify Noun.
So, if the sentence has Noun phrase, for example, X of Y, -ed modifier ..... + V
Can -ed modifier modify X? or it can only modify the closest Noun (Y)
.. and the same will it apply to V-ing modifier ?
Thank you very much

both verb ed and verb doing can modify
only noun and so work as an adjective
refer to subject and modify the whole main clause, and so, work and an adverb. in thi case, they are considered "double modifier" because they refer to a noun and in parallel modify a whole clause
learnning gmat, I realize the beauty of outside world.
inhere, Learning refer to "I" but working as an adverb of the whole main clause.

Hi hiranthip, by -ed modifer, I am assuming that you mean Past Participial phrase. If that's the case, then the answer would be: Yes.
There are many such examples in official sources.
Fossils of the arm of a sloth, found in Puerto Rico in 1991, have been dated at 34 million years old, making the sloth the earliest known mammal on the Greater Antilles islands.
found, a Past Participial phrase obviously does not modify sloth.
