| Jan 19, 2018 at 16:05 | comment | added | Colin Fine | There are very few cases where you have to use the past perfect (or, as here, a infinitive or participial construction with an extra have, or having). It is nearly always a stylistic choice, that may make clearer the temporal relationships of events. | |

| Jan 19, 2018 at 15:44 | comment | added | Rob_Ster | A more fluent solution might be to omit the verb be entirely: "Disturbed by the children, the old man left the park." | |
| Jan 19, 2018 at 15:34 | comment | added | Robusto | #1 is describing the disturbance as a past occurrence. #2 describes it as a present occurrence. | |
