Participle Clauses
A present participle clause (-ing) replaces an active clause with the same subject. It can show: a simultaneous action ("Listening to music, she worked."), a preceding action ("Opening the door, he stepped inside."), cause ("Feeling tired, she went to bed early."), or condition ("Using this method, you can save time."). The subject of both the participle clause and the main clause must be the same.
