Participle clauses
Participle clauses can be used to make writing more concise. An "-ing" participle clause has an active meaning and can replace a relative clause with an active verb, while an "-ed" participle clause has a passive meaning and can replace a relative clause with a passive verb. Examples are provided to illustrate replacing relative clauses with participle clauses.
Answers to participle clauses
This document provides answers to exercises on participle clauses from an advanced English grammar unit. It contains examples of sentences using participle clauses and participles correctly, focusing on clauses beginning with "being", "having", "not having", "while", and sentences where the participles are used as adjectives rather than complete clauses. The exercises practice identifying and constructing sentences using participles and participle clauses in different contexts.
Participle clauses
Participle clauses contain either a present participle or a perfect participle and are used to express time or reason. They can show time, such as "After she had done her homework, she watched TV" or reason, like "Because he was late, Adam took a taxi." Both subjects in a participle clause must be the same.
Participle clauses
There are three types of participle clauses: past participle clauses, perfect participle clauses, and present participle clauses. The document provides examples of each type of clause and exercises rewriting sentences using different clause types.
Second Conditionals
This document discusses the use of the past tense conditional (if-clause) with "would + infinitive" in the main clause. It is used to talk about present or future situations that are unlikely or hypothetical, such as saying "If I had $200,000 now, I would buy a car" or "If I were you, I wouldn't do this." The past tense "were" is often substituted for "was" in the first and third person singular in the if-clause.
Second Conditionals
This document discusses the use of if-clauses with a past tense verb followed by a main clause with "would" plus an infinitive verb. This grammatical structure is used to talk about present or future situations that are unlikely or hypothetical, such as saying "If I had any money, I would lend it to you" or "If I were you, I wouldn't do this." It also notes that "were" is often substituted for "was" in the first and third person singular in if-clauses.
Zero And First Conditionals
The document discusses different types of conditional sentences in English. It explains zero conditional uses present tense in both clauses to talk about universal truths. First conditional uses present tense in the if-clause and future tense in the main clause to talk about possible future events or make promises/warnings. Unless is used in negative conditional sentences. An example is provided for each type.

The customer spent three days at the Seaview Hotel in Brighton but was unhappy with many aspects of their stay. The hotel was not located in the center of Brighton as advertised and the customer's room faced a car park rather than the sea. The breakfast provided was also very poor quality. When the customer complained to staff, they were rude and unhelpful. The customer is now seeking a refund for at least one night due to the subpar room, service, and facilities compared to what is expected of a three-star hotel.
