Participle clauses are dependent clauses that begin with a participle. They act as an adjective and can come at the beginning, the middle, or the end of a sentence. They are used to give more information but in a more concise way. Participle clauses can be used as present participle clauses, past participle clauses, perfect participle clauses, as well as after conjunctions and prepositions. Punctuation of participial clauses is also important. Using these participle clauses will improve your writing level.

Hello Dear Teacher . Your lesson is full of examples, thank you for this. I have a question: Practice section: Students will not be allowed to take the test (students have arrived late). Your Answer: Students arriving late will not be allowed to take the test. My Answer: (For) Having arrived late, students will not be allowed to take the test. I based my answer in the information that the students have really arrived late. Therefore, they will not be allowed to take the test. Your answer implies that the students have not arrived yet. (Present participle), but if they do, they will not be allowed to take the test. Am I righr ? Please, tell me.

Thanks again Miss Hamilton for your time spent for your devoted followers. Your classes are really important for us. Watching your video courses, I have loved writing, although I had never enjoyed writing at all before beginning of watching your classes. Yet I do have a question regarding your topic. Is it possible to use Participle Clauses while describing a picture or photo? The reason of my question is that the active verbs in picture are recommended to use in Present Continues tense, whereas in your presented examples, the main clauses were mainly in Past tenses. For example, if I look at the picture where it shows a woman covering her sleeping child, is it correct to write like this, below? " Smiling, the woman is covering her sleeping daughter" "Knowing that he is being shot, the boy is smiling at camera" "Knowing that the day is going to be hot, the tourists is making sure that they have sufficient amount of water." Thank you very much in advance.

Thank you for always watching the videos! Yes, you can use a participle clause to describe a picture and use the present continuous. Here are a few examples: Looking at his book, the boy is sitting on the chair. Holding a cup of tea, the woman is looking out of the window. Sitting next to the counter, the man is reading a newspaper. I should have included a few of these as examples in the video. Thank you for the question!

Many Thanks for the video …it seems that both present and past participle can be used for result for an action .? How to decide which form should be used for result for an action ?
@WritingBetter
@WritingBetter 5 месяцев назад
This is a good question. However, I think you mean that both can be used as a reason for an action. Knowing she liked roses, he bought her a large bunch. Worried about being late, he skipped breakfast. The second sentence could be written: Worrying about being late, he skipped breakfast. As you can see, you can use both the present participle and the past participle to give the reason for an action. I hope this helps.

@WritingBetter Год назад
Both participle clause and participle phrase can be used in the same way. The word “clause” can be an independent clause or a dependent clause. A dependent clause cannot be a complete sentence by itself. The participle clause is a dependent clause. This may seem confusing if you have learned that a clause is a complete sentence. Both the participle clause and the participle phrase add more information to the main sentence (independent clause). I hope this helps.

Very informative video👍. But still I'm confused about "participle clause" and "participle phrase". Shouldn't we call this structure just "participle phrase" because there is no subject and verb in it?
@WritingBetter
@WritingBetter 29 дней назад
Thank you for your question. I understand your confusion. It appears that the confusion comes from the fact that British grammarians use the term participle clause (they do call it a subordinate clause/dependent clause), whereas American grammarians use the term participle phrase or participial phrase. You can see that the explanations in the following two websites, one British and one from the US, are describing the same thing but using two different terms. learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/grammar/c1-grammar/participle-clauses www.grammarly.com/blog/participial-phrases/ I hope that you don’t allow this to confuse you, but that you choose the term you feel describes the action of these groups of words do in a sentence.

Hi Miss Hamilton, In this sentence below ⬇️ "Doing regular exercise is a key factor in the elderly keeping fit" I guess "Doing" is the Gerund, but I am not really sure about "keeping". Is it a Participle Present Clause? Or it still Gerund? I will appreciate if you could help me with this.
@WritingBetter
@WritingBetter 2 года назад
These are both examples of a gerund phrase not a participle phrase. A participle phrase acts like an adjective while a gerund phrase acts like a noun. I am working on a video about gerund phrases for my next video. Gerund phrases can most of the time be replaced with the following words:This/that/someone/something So, in your sample sentence: This is a key factor in something.

"James Cameron said it was difficult to watch the frantic search play out over the next few days, knowing it was futile but hoping he was wrong."

Yes. We can use participle clauses when the participle and the verb in the main clause have the same subject. For example, Waiting for Ellie, I made some tea. (While I was waiting for Ellie, I made some tea.)

There are so many mistakes. "Opening the door.." replaces an adverbial clause, so it functions as an adverb rather than an adjective. It modifies the verb, not the noun as you said.
@WritingBetter
@WritingBetter Год назад
Thank you for your comment. These types of phrases can be confusing. If the sentence had been written: "After opening the drawer, the teacher took out the paper." This would be an adverbial phrase. This is true because we could write the sentence in two ways and they would both make sense. After opening the drawer, the teacher took out the paper. The teacher took out the paper after opening the drawer. With participial phrases: "Opening the drawer, the teacher took out the paper." However: "The teacher took out the paper opening the drawer." does not make sense. The teacher is the one opening the drawer, not the paper. The participial phrase needs to be as close as possible to the word it is modifying. I hope this helps.
