A participial phrase consists of the preposition ''oss'' and a participle and functions as a kind of temporal clause. A subject may be specified, in which case it comes between ''oss'' and the participle. If no subject is specified, the subject of the participial phrase is taken to be the same as the sentence's subject. | |||
