Modifying Phrases
a) Some adverb clauses may be changed to modifying phrases. The way is the same changing adjective clause: Omit the subject and the be form of the verb of the dependant clause If there is no be form of a verb, omit the subject and change the verb to -ing adverb clause cant be changed to a modifying clause because the two clauses have different subjects
Example : Adverb clause : Before I left for work, I ate breakfast. Modifying phrase : before leaving for work, I ate breakfast. While Frank was reading, he felt very upset. While reading, Frank felt very upset. Sometimes while in modifying phrases is omitted but the -ing phrase at the beginning of the sentence gives the same meaning (= during the same time). Example : While he was reading, he felt very upset. While reading, he felt very upset. Reading, he felt very upset. b) Expressing cause and effect relationships in modifying phrases. Because is not used in a modifying phrase. It is omitted, but the resulting phrase expresses a cause and effect relationship. Because he worked, he didnt come to attend the speech. Working, he didnt come to attend the speech. Often an -ing phrase at the beginning of a sentence gives the meaning of because. Because she has moved, she doesnt remember the way to the market. Having moved, she doesnt remember the way to the market. Having + past participle gives the meaning not only of because, but also of before.
