What is the difference between Subject + got+ pp and S + be+ pp? when can be used S + got +pp example e.g They got promoted to higher positions in the company due to their outstanding performance.". another example e.g They got invaded in the Opium Wars."

Hi from Germany, I really liked your video an appreciate it really much, I think it is going to help me for my exam tomorrow really much. Thank you and keep your good work up :)
Thanks you for your clear explanation of particle clauses. I have two questions. First, in which situations we use this kind of clause when we have two different subject? Second, would it be only possible to use past participle passive just for explaining reason?
Thank you so much for such a detailed explanation. With such wonderful content now available, I am able to fill gaps I've had since school. Moreover, sometimes I feel as if teachers at school did their best to prevent us, students, from learning the language and becoming really fluent English speakers. I'm glad times have changed. Anyway, have a wonderful week!
Thank you very much! Do I get it rightly? Transitive verbs: Present Participle Active (writing) Present Participle Passive (being written) Past Participle *Passive* (written) Perfect Participle Active (having written/having been writing) Perfect Participle Passive (having been written) As far as I understand there's no (Present/Past/Perfect) *Participle Passive* for intransivite verbs even for Past. Intransitive verbs: Present Participle Active (sleeping) Past Participle *Active* (slept) Perfect Participle Active (having slept/having been slept)

A great video .. thanks a million I'm wondering what is the difference (in usage) between ( present participle ) and ( perfect participle in active ) .. since you used both at 6:30 ?
Hi Arira, so the example I gave was, "After visiting/ having visited several shops, we returned to the hotel." The meaning here is very similar for both tenses. A perfect participle clause emphasises that the action they describe was finished before the action in the main clause, whereas the present participle is used here because it enables us to say information in a more economical way. The writer has a choice which tense to use. I hope that helps!
Hi. Perfect! But I didn't understand the "with" part. Do we need to write "with" or drop it from the clause? I mean "With it being Sunday..." ? "with the students..." ?
Hello Teacher! Could you please tell me about the sentences: 1. The children sat in the fancy restaurant found it difficult to behave and 2. The children sitting in the f... PLEASE. For TOEFL it is supposed that the correct response is sentence 2. with the present participle. why? What does it mean? what is the complete clause? Thanks in advance. It is impossible for me to understand since for my mother language, spanish SENTADOS, has a complete passive meaning.
Hi, we use the present participle here to show that they were sitting in the fancy restaurant at the same time as they found it difficult to behave. The verb is in the -ing form even though the meaning is past. I hope that helps!
Hi , I wanna thank you for this wonderful video This is , perhaps, the only informative video about participle clauses. I have a question, can we use these clauses in Speaking , like: "Transport burns most of the world's petroleum, creating air pollution" Does this sentence sound natural in speaking part 3 in IELTS? Please kindly answer my question if you have free time Thanks so much
I understood the lesson until 8:36. If the participle clauses do not have a specific tense, why would they need to be categorized as present participle("ing) and past participle ("d", "ed")?
It is a very easy-to-understand video for this relatively difficult English grammer. Is the answer to the last question in the video, 1=Taking, 2=Taken ?
Please correct me if I'm wrong. Hi teacher, I am confused. Is the comma in the first sentence (We lay on the beach, gazing up at the sky.) a typo? I don't think a comma is necessary here. Coz I was taught like > E.g. She met her friend walking down the street. I listen to the radio driving to work.
Hi Yu, for different clauses in a sentence you need a comma. There is no typo here, "We lay on the beach, gazing up at the sky," is correct. With your 2 sentences, She met her friend watching down the street. Do you mean, walking down the street? if this is the case it is not a separate clause but part of the main one and likewise with I listen to the radio driving to work. You need a comma if it is a separate clause.
Hi Music, I would recommend any of the grammar books by Oxford or Cambridge University Press. I have English Grammar in Use by Cambridge and they have exercises on participle clauses included amongst many other things. I hope that helps!
Hi, Participle clauses are dependent clauses. They are formed using a present participle (ending in -ing) or a past participle (usually ending in -ed, -en, or irregular forms) and are used to provide additional information about the main action in a sentence. A sentence containing a participle clause is typically a complex sentence, where the participle clause functions as an adjectival or adverbial modifier. The participle clause provides additional details, often describing concurrent or previous actions related to the main action of the sentence.
If I have a sentence like "Tim had told everyone it was his birthday so he received a lot of messages and cards" how do I realize if I have to use the present or past participle?
Hi, I presume you are referring to the sentence, "It being Sunday in Switzerland, we couldn't find any shops open." In my opinion, I think it is more correct to use it, but in spoken English people might drop the it. I hope that helps.
Hi! May I ask you a question? ~Realizing that I didn't know much, I began to panic. Is the subject of the participle clause is the same as that of the main clause? like~ While I was realizing that I didn't know much, I began to panic. or~Because I realized that I didn't know much, I began to panic. or both all correct? Thanks
Hi Chris, the subject of the participle clause is usually the same as that of the main clause. Both your sentences are correct. Here, in your original sentence, the participle clause is giving the cause of the main clause. I hope that helps!
Is it possible adding being before a past participle in every situation? If not, is there a specific way to use being+past particle? Eg. He was offered a good salary, so he accepted the job. Offered a good salary, he accepted the job. Being offered a good salary, he accepted the job. Thank you in advance.
Hi, I don't like your sentence 3. I would say sentence 1 is good but if you really wanted to go down this route you could say, "Having been offered a good salary, he accepted the job." I hope that helps!
@@oxfordenglishnow thanks for the explanation. I'm having a hard time getting the right answer to the following sentence. As she was shocked by the sad news, she didn't know what to do next. Answer number 1. Being shocked by the sad news, she didn't know what to do next. (shocked as a feeling adjective) Answer number 2. Shocked by the sad news, she didn't know what to do next. (shocked as a past particle) Which one is more appropriate? Are both of them correct?
I can't understand the differences between present and past participle clause. They both can be used for giving the reason and adding information so how can i recognize in what sentence which one is better?
Hello madam, thank you for your incredible explanation about the participles. But I have a question, does that mean present participles sound like active voice while past participles take passive voice forms? In other way, if I wan to use relative clauses or relative pronouns in place of participles, can I use past participle in place of passive relative clauses and present participle instead of active relative clauses?
Hi Guillermo, at least you got the right tense for each answer! The answer is taking, as the expression is, taking something into account and in the second sentence you take a tablet. Hope that helps!
Dear teacher please make a video on full explanation on participle with all uses I hope you will help me about this difficult topic because I read newspapers every day in the news it comes often and I get confused to see what is that mainly adjective phrase like I think it is only action but sometimes it works as adjective.
A passenger train carrying an estimated 350 people derailed in eastern Taiwan on Friday morning, killing at least 36 people and injuring dozens more, the authorities said, marking the island's deadliest rail accident in decades. Is marking adjective here or all phrase is participle adjective?
Hello I found very useful this video and I wanna ask you a qustion about this issue.''Talk of a European Super League has been around since the 1980s, with many top football leagues in Europe afraid of such a competition forming''. In this sentence ''comma and with'' are a participle??as a different subject??
Thank you so much, it is a difficult for me. Could you please check my answer: Having had all things into account, I have decided to resign Taken three times a day, these tablets will help your allergy
After, by, in, with and since are prepositions followed by a GERUND not a participle. A gerund and a participle are not the same. While is a conjunction which is followed by a participle. I am a native English speaker (from the U.S.) and an ESL teacher. I am referencing Oxford Guide to English Grammar, page 165 section 8.
Hi Kayla, thanks for your comment. Yes, you are right I should have said conjunctions too as while is a conjunction. However, my research for the lesson was in part taken from the British Council on this page. learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/grammar/intermediate-to-upper-intermediate/participle-clauses in which it says: It is also common for participle clauses, especially with -ing, to follow conjunctions and prepositions such as before, after, instead of, on, since, when, while and in spite of. Many thanks for your comment. 😊
@@oxfordenglishnow Yes, I have also seen this page, but this part is wrong. A gerund and a participle serve two completely different functions in a sentence. Gerunds act as nouns, whereas participles act as adjectives which modify a noun. In the examples with a preposition, the -ing form is the gerund. For example: "Before cooking, you should wash your hands." Here, the -ing form 'cooking' is referring to the activity (noun) of cooking as in "I like cooking." Therefore, it is the gerund. If we look at the sentence: "She fell asleep while listening to music", the -ing form 'listening' is the present participle. It is describing what the subject of the sentence was doing. "She fell asleep while listening to music" = "She fell asleep while (she was) listening to music."
In the sentence: "I saw a man dancing at the party. Is it a simple sentence or a complex one? My doubt is: Should I consider 'dancing at the part' participle phrase or participle clause?
Hi Bijendra, I would say it is a simple sentence as for it to be a participle clause the participle and the verb in the main clause have to have the same subject. Here it is simply describing the man dancing.
I am not sure what you mean? having seen, having eaten. Having eaten 6500 calories a day for three months, Hopkins has put on 3.5 stone. Having seen around 100 apartments, he felt drained. I hope this helps.
@@oxfordenglishnow I know this things whatever you mentioned here,my question is "Not only I want to take 'to do' verb after having verb but also I want to take 'to be' and 'to have' verb after having verb. I hope you understand my question ❓
Yes, participle clauses can be considered a form of reduced relative clauses. They are used to make sentences more concise and can often replace relative clauses.
Hi Taha, An absolute phrase is a phrase that modifies a whole independent clause (a full sentence); not just one word. Positioning In order to avoid confusion, a participial phrase must be placed as close to the noun which it modifies as possible, and the noun must be clearly defined. I hope that helps!
There is a question in my mind Normally we use "there" with "indefinite nouns" But. In this case i used "definite noun " with "There " in Subordinate Clause. This is the time when "there" is my bike. Q1) Is "THERE" word adverb of place in this sentence
Madam I have a doubt in the following sentences.(1)He is admitted to having been the member of the gang (2)He is admitted to have been the member of the gang.Are both forms correct.could you please enlighten me on these Thanks lot in advance, your early response is highly appreciated.
PARTICIPLE CLAUSE A participle clause is a form of ADVERBIAL clause (even though the participle itself is functioning as an adjective). It allows us to say information in a shorter, more economical way. We use a participle clause when the participle and the verb in the main clause have the SAME subject. Shouting loudly, John walked home. (John was shouting) PARTICIPLE PHRASE A participle phrase functions as an ADJECTIVE to modify a noun, pronoun or noun phrase. A participle phrase contains a participle + modifier/object/complement (or all three). Those other things are nouns, pronouns and/or noun phrases. The participle expresses the action. The modifier/object/complement is the direct object or indirect object or complement of that action. Removing his coat, John rushed to the river. "Removing his coat" is the participle phrase. Hope that helps!

Are participle clauses dependent or independent? And what kind of sentence is the one containing a participle clause?
Hi,
Participle clauses are dependent clauses. They are formed using a present participle (ending in -ing) or a past participle (usually ending in -ed, -en, or irregular forms) and are used to provide additional information about the main action in a sentence.
A sentence containing a participle clause is typically a complex sentence, where the participle clause functions as an adjectival or adverbial modifier. The participle clause provides additional details, often describing concurrent or previous actions related to the main action of the sentence.
@@oxfordenglishnow but participle clauses do not contain a finite verb whivh is a prerequisit to make a clause. Then how come do we call them clauses?
If I have a sentence like "Tim had told everyone it was his birthday so he received a lot of messages and cards" how do I realize if I have to use the present or past participle?

Hi mert, this is just a subordinate clause. A participle clause links the 2 clauses with a verb. Hope that helps!
@@oxfordenglishnow Yes ofcourse your reply become useful for me.Thank you so much.Regards!
Thank you so much, it is a difficult for me. Could you please check my answer:

Welcome to my channel!
After, by, in, with and since are prepositions followed by a GERUND not a participle. A gerund and a participle are not the same. While is a conjunction which is followed by a participle. I am a native English speaker (from the U.S.) and an ESL teacher. I am referencing Oxford Guide to English Grammar, page 165 section 8.
Hi Kayla, thanks for your comment. Yes, you are right I should have said conjunctions too as while is a conjunction. However, my research for the lesson was in part taken from the British Council on this page. learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/grammar/intermediate-to-upper-intermediate/participle-clauses
in which it says: It is also common for participle clauses, especially with -ing, to follow conjunctions and prepositions such as before, after, instead of, on, since, when, while and in spite of.
Many thanks for your comment. 😊
@@oxfordenglishnow Yes, I have also seen this page, but this part is wrong. A gerund and a participle serve two completely different functions in a sentence. Gerunds act as nouns, whereas participles act as adjectives which modify a noun. In the examples with a preposition, the -ing form is the gerund. For example: "Before cooking, you should wash your hands." Here, the -ing form 'cooking' is referring to the activity (noun) of cooking as in "I like cooking." Therefore, it is the gerund. If we look at the sentence: "She fell asleep while listening to music", the -ing form 'listening' is the present participle. It is describing what the subject of the sentence was doing. "She fell asleep while listening to music" = "She fell asleep while (she was) listening to music."
Great, thanks for the feedback 😊
In the sentence:
"I saw a man dancing at the party.
Is it a simple sentence or a complex one? My doubt is: Should I consider 'dancing at the part' participle phrase or participle clause?
Hi Bijendra, I would say it is a simple sentence as for it to be a participle clause the participle and the verb in the main clause have to have the same subject. Here it is simply describing the man dancing.
@@oxfordenglishnow Thanks a lot
Can I say " We lay on the beach, gazing up at the night sky and singing a song."? Thank you!
Yes you can but you don't need the comma. I hope that helps!
I loved you and I STILL LOVE YOU
Haha
Thanks so much!
Please ,Give me some examples of perfect participle with "To be" verb and "To have" verb.like having been,having had..
I am not sure what you mean? having seen, having eaten. Having eaten 6500 calories a day for three months, Hopkins has put on 3.5 stone. Having seen around 100 apartments, he felt drained. I hope this helps.
@@oxfordenglishnow I know this things whatever you mentioned here,my question is "Not only I want to take 'to do' verb after having verb but also I want to take 'to be' and 'to have' verb after having verb.
I hope you understand my question ❓
So then... Are participle clauses a form of reduced relative clause?
Yes, participle clauses can be considered a form of reduced relative clauses. They are used to make sentences more concise and can often replace relative clauses.
Thank you teacher ❤
You're welcome 😊
Is participle clauses and absolute phrases same?
Hi Taha,
An absolute phrase is a phrase that modifies a whole independent clause (a full sentence); not just one word. Positioning In order to avoid confusion, a participial phrase must be placed as close to the noun which it modifies as possible, and the noun must be clearly defined. I hope that helps!
There is a question in my mind
Normally we use "there" with "indefinite nouns"
But. In this case i used "definite noun " with "There " in Subordinate Clause.
This is the time when "there" is my bike.
Q1) Is "THERE" word adverb of place in this sentence
Hi, This is the time when "there" is my bike. This sentence doesn't make sense I'm afraid.
@@oxfordenglishnow I used inversion in this subordinate clause after Adverbial "THERE'
I used perfectly inversion rule
Please correct me .

Participle phrase and participle clause are same?
What is the difference?
PARTICIPLE CLAUSE
A participle clause is a form of ADVERBIAL clause (even though the participle itself is functioning as an adjective).
It allows us to say information in a shorter, more economical way. We use a participle clause when the participle and the verb in the main clause have the SAME subject.
Shouting loudly, John walked home. (John was shouting)
PARTICIPLE PHRASE
A participle phrase functions as an ADJECTIVE to modify a noun, pronoun or noun phrase.
A participle phrase contains a participle + modifier/object/complement (or all three). Those other things are nouns, pronouns and/or noun phrases.
The participle expresses the action. The modifier/object/complement is the direct object or indirect object or complement of that action.
Removing his coat, John rushed to the river.
"Removing his coat" is the participle phrase.
Hope that helps!
