在OG上看到这样一句话,the result of the company`s cost-cutting measures are evident in its profits,which have increased 5 percent during the first 3 month of this year after falling.
FALLING here is a gerund: a verb functioning as a NOUN. After falling is an adverb explaining how profits have increased. HOW have profits increased? They have increased AFTER FALLING OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS. 这里的falling的逻辑主语还是profits,而且它的时态跟随前面主句的时态,其实可以看成after the profits have fallen, they have increased 5 percent furing the first 3 month of this year. Open to discuss~

太长时间没看G了,以下回答的有点不准确 prepositional modifier can modify verb or noun—— depend on context. If my memory works, I once saw on the manhattan discuz board: "prepositional modifier can be used as adverbial modifier" 很抱歉, 我个人对方式状语什么的说法真的不是很了解,但是如果按曼哈顿的说法,介词结构的修饰语,可以做副词性的修饰词,修饰preceding clause中的main verb部分,然后逻辑主语还是主句的主语。

其实楼主可以用一些简单的例子来验证: Denny Crane shoot his partner by a gun. Denny Crane walked out the GMAT center with a smile on his face. Denny Crane had an affair after marrying his fifth wife. 其实这里都是描述这个动作是怎样发生或者是在什么情况下发生的。这就是prepostional modifier的作用。 一家之言哈~
