Attributive participial clauses are used as relative clauses whose subject is the head. They take the same tenses as if they were finite relative clauses, where the present is defined as the time of the utterance. Note that attributive participles take a possessive suffix; the possessor of a participle is the direct object if the participle is active, and is the agent if the participle is passive. | Attributive participial clauses are used as relative clauses whose subject is the head.
