A. Relative clauses

- The hotel ..... we stayed in was close to the city centre.

B. Participle clauses

- Present participles (-ing) show that sth is happening around the same time as the main action:

"Not wanting to hurt his feelings, I avoided the question."

"Concentrating on my work, I lost track of time."

- Perfect participles (having+V3) show that sth happened before or is the reason for the main action:

"Having forgotten to do my work, I got in trouble."

"Having stayed together through thick and thin, they became inseparable."

- Past participles (V3) have a passive meaning:

"Eaten in small quantities, sugar isn't that bad."

"Looked after carefully, a leather bag will last for years to come."

We can use a "reduced" participle clause instead of a relative clause (useful in UoE Part 4):

- There are photos hanging on the wall.

- Anyone caught shoplifting will be prosecuted.
