PARTICIPLE CLAUSES What is the difference in meaning between these two sentences: Seeing an accident ahead, I stopped my car. Having seen an accident ahead, I stopped my car There is not very much difference in meaning between these two pairs of sentences. Sometimes we can use an -ing or past participle clause with similar meanings, as here, although use of the past participle form emphasises that the first action has been completed before the second action begins. Thus, we could paraphrase these two sentences as follows: Having seen an accident ahead, I stopped my car. I noticed that there had been an accident ahead and stopped my car. Seeing an accident ahead, I stopped my car. When I saw the accident ahead, I stopped my car. In general, we tend not to use participle clauses so much in speech. They are too formal. In speech we would probably say: However, in written English participial clauses can be very useful. As you can see from the examples above, when the subject in the participle clause is the same as the participle in the main clause, they enable us to say the same thing, but with fewer words. participial clauses = adverbial clauses Participial clauses often express condition, reason, cause, result or time in a similar way to full adverbial clauses, only more economically. Compare the following:
Used sparingly, this face cream should last you until Christmas. If you use it sparingly, this face cream should last you until Christmas. Having taken the wrong train, I found myself in Bath, not Bristol. Because I had taken the wrong train, I found myself in Bath, not Bristol. Passing the theatre on my right, I walked up the steps and could see all the lights on the Thames ahead of me. After I had passed the theatre on my right, I walked up the steps and could see all the lights on the Thames ahead of me.
Note from the above examples that the -ing form participle is used to talk about past, as well as present events, e.g.: Talking to you I always feel that my problems will be solved. By talking to you, I always feel that my problems will be solved. participle clauses following conjunctions and prepositions Participle clauses, with -ing particularly, can be used after various conjunctions and prepositions, such as: when, while, before, after, on, without, instead of. Note the following examples: Remember to take all your belongings with you when leaving the train. I sprained my ankle while playing tennis. Before entering the mosque you must take off your shoes. After taking everything into consideration, we decided to sell the house. After having driven 300 miles across country, I arrived to find the house had been sold. On hearing that my sister was planning to marry him, I decided to leave the flat to her. Without wanting to seem rude, I must tell you that you are ungrateful. Instead of listening to my advice, she walked out without saying goodbye. Note from the above examples that the participle clause normally, but not invariably, comes in front of the main clause
having been + past participle Note that this passive structure can also be used in participle clauses as an alternative to a since-clause Having been invited to the party by Prince William himself, we could hardly refuse to go. ( = Since we had been invited) Having been deprived of food for over twenty days, the castaway was fed intravenously at first. Having been unemployed for over two years, I found it difficult to get work.
Relative Pronouns
relative pronoun use example
who
which
which
whose
whom
object pronoun for people, especially in non-defining relative clauses (in defining relative clauses we colloquially prefer who)

subject or object pronoun for people, animals and thingsI dont like the table that stands in the in defining relative clauses (who or which are also kitchen. possible)
Relative Adverbs
A relative adverb can be used instead of a relative pronoun plus preposition. This often makes the sentence easier to understand.
This is the shop in which I bought my bike. This is the shop where I bought my bike.
relative adverb meaning use example
when
in/on which
where
in/at which
refers to a place
why
for which
refers to a reason
I told you about the woman who lives next door. I told you about the woman living next door. Do you see the cat which is lying on the roof? Do you see the cat lying on the roof?
CONNECTORS
RULES Linking words are extremely important since they indicate the relationship between ideas. Note that connectives can be grouped in two different ways. Firstly, they can be grouped according to meaning. For example but , although and however all have the same meaning and can all be used to join the two ideas below: X The computer manufacturers have agreed to replace the equipment free of charge. Y The new computers will not be installed for at least six months. However, grammatically but, although, and however are quite different. Look at the sentences which are produced when they are used:
1. The computer manufacturers have agreed to replace the computers free of charge, but the new computers will not be installed for at least three months. X, but Y . But is placed between two main ideas in one sentence. 2. Although the computer manufacturers have agreed to replace the computers free of charge, the new computers will not be installed for at least three months. Although X, Y. or Y, although X. Although is placed at the beginning of a support idea (X). There must be a main idea (Y) in the same sentence. 3. The computer manufacturers have agreed to replace the system free of charge. However, the new equipment will not be installed for at least three months. X. However, Y. The two ideas are placed in two separate sentences However comes at the beginning of the second sentence and is followed by a comma. Here you will find rules of how some of the most usual linking words are used, and some examples:
-The secretary types so quickly that she always has her work in time.

-It was such a difficult exam (that) he knew he wouldnt pass it.
