This is very helpful video which I learnt a lot by. Reduced adverb has been made to understand mannerly of good in this video. Keep uploading such video on TH-cam. We get much help to learn English. And thanks to you.
Hello dear LuLu Shah, In this lesson, you mentioned that the auxiliary verb is removed from adverb clause while reducing it, such as in this example: While the bride was nervous, she walked through the aisle. And in part three of this series, you have changed it to a present participle, like: While being tired, the students studied all the night long. What is the difference? Why don't we remove or change in both places?
Hi Jubair, if you go on to the second video, you'll see many other options for reducing the clause. Semantically, there's very little difference. Style wise, the most concise option is usually better. You could reduce that clause a few ways: While nervous, the bride walked... Although nervous, the bride walked... Although being nervous, the bride walked... Hope this helps. 😊
Yes, that’s technically correct. However, you change the meaning of the sentence by making it a reduction of reason rather than contrast. I’ll explain this in the next video. Thanks for watching. 😊

Thank you, can I ask that is "Although being nervous" =" Although nervous" in the first sentence?
Yes, that’s technically correct. However, you change the meaning of the sentence by making it a reduction of reason rather than contrast. I’ll explain this in the next video. Thanks for watching. 😊
Mam thank you❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have a question:
Why is the helping verb removed in active adverb clauses and kept in passive to be changed into being?
You need the “be” verb to form the passive.
With the “because” one. Is it correct to keep the because? “Because not having breakfast. Minnie was hungry and tired.”
