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.)
