Participle Clauses
Participle clauses enable us to say information in a more economical way. 

They are formed using:
- present participles (going, reading, seeing, walking, etc.), 
- past participles (gone, read, seen, walked, etc.) or 
- perfect participles (having gone, having read, having seen, etc.). 

Slide 6 - Slide

We can use participle clauses when the participle and the verb in the main clause have the same subject. 

For example:
Participle clause: Waiting for Ellie, I made some tea. 
Original: While I was waiting for Ellie, I made some tea.

Slide 7 - Slide

Participle clauses do not have a specific tense. 

The tense is indicated by the verb in the main clause.

Participle clauses are mainly used in written texts, 
particularly in a literary, academic or journalistic style.
