This document provides an overview of participle clauses, including: - Defining participle clauses as clauses beginning with a present or past participle that function adverbially. - Explaining that participle clauses can replace conjunctions like "and" or relative clauses. - Stating that the subject of a participle clause is usually implied and the same as the main clause, to avoid "dangling participles". - Distinguishing between using present ("-ing") vs. past ("having + past participle") participles depending on timing or emphasis. - Giving examples of rewriting sentences to use participle clauses instead of relative clauses or conjunctions.
