Participle clauses are a form of adverbial clause which enables us to say information in a more economical way. We can use participle clauses when the participle and the verb in the main clause have the same subject. For example:
Waiting for John, I made some tea.
Waiting for John, the kettle boiled. [This would suggest that the kettle was waiting for John!]
Forming participle clauses
Participle clauses can be formed with the present participle (-ing form of the verb) or past participle(third form of the verb). Participle clauses with past participles have a passive meaning:
Shouting loudly, Peter walked home. [Peter was shouting]
Shouted at loudly, Peter walked home. [Someone was shouting at Peter]
If we wish to emphasise that one action was before another then we can use a perfect participle(having + past participle):
Having won the match, Susan jumped for joy.
Having been told the bad news, Susan sat down and cried.
In Britain, a COLLEGE is a place where people can receive vocational training after school. e.g. a secretarial college, or a teacher training college.
In the US, a COLLEGE is a synonym of a university.

In Britain, your first (undergraduate) degree is a BA(arts or humanities) or a BSc (science). If you do post-graduate study, you may get an MA or an MSc. After several years of original research and publishing a thesis, you can get a PhD (Doctor of Philosophy). Undergraduates usually write essays; a long essay is called a dissertation. A thesis is longer still and contains original research.
