DEFENITION:

A participle expressing present action, in English formed by the infinitive plus -ing and used to express present action in relation to the time indicated by the finite verb in its clause, to form progressive tenses with the auxiliary be, and to function as a verbal adjective.

in Multipart Verbs

Use as

Adjectives

Nouns



A verb can have as many as four parts. When you form multipart verbs, you use a combination of auxiliary verbs and participles. Look at the examples below: Our pet alligator ate Mrs. Olsen's poodle. Ate = simple past tense [no participle]. With a broom, Mrs. Olsen was beating our alligator over the head in an attempt to retrieve her poodle. Was = auxiliary verb; beating = present participle.



present participles often function as adjectives that describe nouns. Here are some examples: The crying baby drew a long breath and sucked in a spider crouching in the corner of the crib. Which baby? The crying baby. Which spider? The one that was crouching in the corner.

The mangled pair of sunglasses, bruised face, broken arm, and bleeding knees meant Genette had taken another spill on her mountain bike. Which pair of sunglasses? The mangled pair. Which face? The bruised one. Which arm? The broken one. Which knees? The bleeding ones.



Present participles can function as nouns—the subjects, direct objects, indirect objects, objects of prepositions, and subject complements in sentences. Take a look at these examples: Sneezing exhausts Steve, who requires eight tissues and twenty-seven Gesundheits before he is done. Sneezing = the subject of the verb exhausts. Valerie hates cooking because scraping burnt gook out of pans always undermines her enjoyment of the food. Cooking = the direct object of the verb hates.

Form : “Having + past participle (V-ed/V3)”  A perfect gerund/participle is used to emphasize the completion of the action. 



can be used to shorten or combine clauses that have the same subject if …

◦ … one action (the one where the perfect participle is used) is completed before the next action starts. ◦ … one action has been going on for a period of time when another action starts.



The perfect participle can be used for active and passive voice. ◦ active voice: having + past participle (Having cooked, he set the table.) ◦ passive voice: having been + past participle (Having been cooked, the food looked delicious.)

Example: She bought a bike and cycled home. – Having bought a bike, she cycled home.  Example: He had been living there for such a long time that he didn't want to move to another town. – Having lived there for such a long time, he didn't want to move to another town. 

1. Franklin was warned about drinking and driving .  It forced him to be much more careful on the highway.  -> Having warned about drinking and driving forced Franklin to be more careful on the highway. 2. We have studied Spanish.  This helped us on our trip to Barcelona. ->Having studied Spanish helped us on our trip to Barcelona. 3. The boy asked his mother's permission and then went out to play. → Having asked his mother's permission, the boy went out to play.

Perfect Gerund In its most frequent usage, the perfect gerund will appear as the object of a preposition.

Examples: By having gone through one ordeal, I felt better about coping with future problems Without having had any previous experience, he secured the position over the other applicants
