(A line from a tv series) (Context: He talks about time travel to save lives including his life.) In this sentence, what is the function of "starting" ? Does it indicate result? or just qualify the subject of the main clause? "it" . Or does it indicate simultaneous actions? (It is about saving lives and it starts with mine. ) | |
| Jun 14, 2019 at 15:54 | comment | added | Talha Özden | Thanks. Can't we use past participle to indicate result in the participle clause? You said as if present participle was the only way to indicate the result What I am trying to say that is there any example where "past participle" is used to indicate cause and result relation between the main clause and participle clause? She was fled with her children, being ended up in a shelter (As a result, she was ended up in a shelter by someone). or She was fled with her children, ended up in a shelter. | |
