Hi aysha, and welcome to the forum.

Participle clauses can begin with a present participle (doing), a past participle (done), or a perfect participle (having done).

Have you already tried to learn all three of those?

Hi aysha

Are you currently learning how to transform sentences such as the following?

- The dirt road that leads to the barn is full of debris.
(The dirt road leading to the barn is full of debris.)

- A man who was wearing a Donald Duck mask robbed the bank yesterday.
(A man wearing a Donald Duck mask robbed the bank yesterday.)

i am tring to teach myself that
i just want some one to help me.
to give me sentences that i will transform, then he or she can correct those sentences to me.
i want to know when do i use the past participle clause or the perfect or the present ?

we use -ing clauses to say what somebody (or something ) is (or was) doing particular time :
ex:
- Do you know the woman talking to sam (the woman is talking to Sam)
- i was woken up by a bell ring ( a bell was ringing )

-ed clauses have a passive meaning
the boy injured in accident was taken to hospital

one more thing I need to add is present participle clause does not reflect the tense, it modifies the meaning.
For ex :
A man who was wearing a Donald Duck mask robbed the bank yesterday.
A man who worn a Donald Duck mask robbed the bank yesterday.

the 2 sentences can be transfer to present participle clause, and you cannot figure it out the original sentence is continuous or simple tense.
A man wearing a Donald Duck mask robbed the bank yesterday.
