What on earth are
Participle clauses
and how to deal with them
We use a participle Clause when we want to include information more concisely in a sentence.
Be more specific
Participle Clauses can replace a clause with subject + a verb.
Waiting for Ellie, I made some tea. (While I was waiting for Ellie, I made some tea.)
Participle Clauses begin with either a present participle or pAST PARTICIPLE
We use having + past participle to talk about the past.
Having had so many parties, you can surely give me lots of advice.
We put not in front of the participle to express a negative.
For example
Not having been in this position before, I don't have any personal experience in this area, so I'm not sure what to do.
