Participle clauses
In participle clauses, we use present participle ( the -ing form of the verb)  to combine two clauses with the same subject: when the action happens or happened at the same time as the main action. 
  • Looking out across the sea, I couldn't imagine a more beautiful view.

  • She waved her hands. She tried to keep the flies away from her face--> Waving her hands, she tried to keep the flies away from her face.

  • Form: having + past participle
  • The visitors watched the sunset on the rock. Then they walked back to their hotel. --> Having watched the sunset on the rock, they walked back to their hotel.
