7-10. Обороты с причастиями настоящего времени
Все формы причастия настоящего времени получаются «обезличиванием» личных форм во всех временах – т.е. заменой личного глагола на -ing форму:
drive/drives → driving
am/is/are/was/were driven → being driven
am/is/are/was/were driving → being driving
am/is/are/was/were being driven → being being driven
have/has/had driven → having driven
have/has/had been driven → having been driven
(формы, которые получаются в продолженном времени, не употребляются, так как получается «масло масляное» - слишком много -ing)
We have sat here in the sun for two hours and are very thirsty. →
Having sat here in the sun for two hours, we are very thirsty.
