Hi, I think at 3:30 there is an error.
Though we expected to lose, we won the game.
Having expected to lose, we won the game. ( Not " Having been expected"...) simply because the original clause is in the active voice not in the passive voice.
Thank you for your endeavors.
That is true. When you add "been" you are assuming that the original clause is in the passive since "been" is a past participle. I started to write it in and then removed it. I wanted to show all the options that are available for reduction. Thank you for your comment. I will pin this for clarification.😊
Thank you for your detailed explanation! I'm really confused about the sentence at 3:14' Though expecting to lose, we won the game.' Why not use the past participle here? Since ' Though we were expected (by others) to lose',(If my understanding is right), perhaps the reduced clause could be' Though expected to lose, we won the game.
Thanks, teacher!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

hey, thanks for your attention-grabbing video, I have a question. What is the difference between concession and contrast connectors?
good one
Thanks 😊
Awesome lesson!

I always learn a great deal from your tutorials! In regards to the second reduction, could I have said, (After washing the dishes, Ashley helped her dad mow the lawn.)?
Yes you can!
@@thelearningdepot thanks! 👍
Hi Lulu. I have a question. Is that okay to remove conjunctions, such as though, because, or after...etc.,every time during the process of reduction? Thank you in advance!
Yes you can! You have the option to remove the conjunction if the original meaning is preserved. The only conjunction that should be removed are those of reason: because, as, since.
What if the clause is in past perfect?
I have a question!
Reduced adverb clauses resemble participle clause.
Is there any difference between participle clause and reduced adverb causes?
Yes, In many cases it’s the same thing.
Hi, what is difference in between .

Dear mam I have confusion in gerunds past participle and other infinitive and non infinitves
Hi, I suggest that you review the video lessons on those subjects. Remember that a gerund acts as a noun, a participle as a verb, and the infinitive is simply the verb in its basic form.
@@thelearningdepot basic i know but. I get confused that some time pas participles also take ing form and resembles like gerunds
@@avinreign8653 Yes, because they both end in -ing. I recommend you watch this video to get started: ua-cam.com/video/XxJxOzelEtk/v-deo.html
