Participle Clauses | Participial Phrases(& How to Use Them)

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.

The best, the clearest, the most fully covered I can find at youtube about participle. Thanks so much, great and excellent teacher. How can such an important thing can’t be easily explained by other youtubers even their mother tone is English. It can only be explained that grammar in English, in some form, is dumb. (sorry for my impolite) As the result, how a confused teacher can teach clearly to the student who will be inherited confused finally.

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.

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 ?

[mariabarnes]

Thank you for such a great lesson, especially for the part about punctuation.
But is "Having nothing to do, she decided to go to the beach" an example of a perfect participle clause?

[ElvinValdez]

Great work! I have a question. Participle cluase and participle phrase are the same thing? Please answer me.. I appreciate it 🙏

[carlhighsetland]

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.

Explanation has been excellent but you could have explained the role of adverbial participle clause
