A participle clause is a type of adverbial clause that is used to make a sentence more economical. A participle clause is can be used when the subject of the participle and the verb in the main clause is the same.
If the sentence has an active meaning we use the present participle (V-ing) clause.
The present participle clause is also used when we want to emphasise that one action was before another. (e.g. having scrapped his knee, the boy cried)
The past participle (V3) clause is used when the sentence has a passive meaning. (e.g. booed, the actor left the stage)
