Welcome back to another ESL podcast, and today's podcast is going to be about the complexity of participle clauses. Now, having taught in upcountry two months ago, I realized that participles are often confused with gerunds. Before we get into that, we normally use participle clauses to avoid repetition and say things in a more concise way.  We use the present participle to convey an active meaning while the past participle has a passive meaning. They both look like -ed and -ing adjectives, at times.
