Let see what if I don't put comma.
Object cannot take verb. Placing "was" in front of the present participle is wrong.

Understand now?

if that is the case,we oso can put such as "Object cannot take verb,Place "was" in front of the present participle is wrong" ,izit?

"placing" is a gerund here.
"Object" is the subject and "verb' is the object.
And the object in the sentence does not have any relation with the gerund "placing".

i mean this part:
i take this as a example.we use gerund in a sentence,is it boz we have alr got a main verb in this sentence,so the second verb must be gerund without conjuction?
cannot take = main verb and place = 2nd verb,so place must use "placing" as gerund,izit?

all correct,we use bare infinitive to show present/past simple.
We use present participle after the obj to show continuous tenses.

do you see " as "? That shows the first clause is subordinate (it is incomplete).

As object cannot take verb, placing "was" infront of present participle is wrong.
Subordinate cluase                          main clause

That is perfect infinitive.
If you say to be confronting,it means he is still scolding Siti Hajar.
