    Guessing gets you through a quiz; understanding gets you through the exam. Read the full Participle clauses lesson: A participle clause is a reduced clause built on a present participle (-ing), a past participle (-ed) or a perfect participle (having done) instead of a full subject and verb: 'Feeling nervous, Priya rehearsed her answer twice.' It shares its subject with the main clause and compresses reasons, time sequences and relative clauses, a signature Band 8 structure.
