relative pronoun. It comes immediately after the words that it
modifies. In some cases, a prepositional phrase may come in
between. Eman Alkatheery

- Adjective Clauses to Phrase Reduction Adjective clauses can be
reduced to participial phrases. A participial phrase is a phrase
that contains a past participle (eaten) or present
participle(eating). Participial phrases can be formed from
adjective clauses if the relative pronoun is the subject of the
relative clause. The time of the phrase is determined by the verb
of the main clause or the general context. Eman Alkatheery
- Slide 74
- Reduction of Adjective Clauses with Verbs in the Active Voice
In adjective clauses with verbs in the active voice, eliminate the
connecting word (relative pronoun), and use the present participle
of the main verb. The present participle is used to replace the
verbs in variety of tenses. To form the negative, use (not) before
the present participle. If the adjective clause has commas, the
participial phrase has commas, too. (Table 4.14, p. 186) Eman

main verb is changed to the present participle. However, this way
does not stress the completion of the action. Eman Alkatheery

With clauses in the passive voice, (having + been + past

participial phrases are reduced from nonrestrictive adjective
clauses. If the nonrestrictive participial phrase modifies the
