C1 Participle clauses
moviesegments: participial-phrases
Participle clauses
Participle clauses are a form of adverbial clause which enables us to say information in a more economical way. We can use participle clauses when the participle and the verb in the main clause have the same subject. For example:
Waiting for John, I made some tea.
Forming participle clauses
Participle clauses can be formed with the present participle (-ing form of the verb) or past participle(third form of the verb). Participle clauses with past participles have a passive meaning:
Shouting loudly, Peter walked home. [Peter was shouting]
Shouted at loudly, Peter walked home. [Someone was shouting at Peter]
If we wish to emphasise that one action was before another then we can use a perfect participle(having + past participle):
Having won the match, Susan jumped for joy.
Having been told the bad news, Susan sat down and cried.
