form is chosen.

people or things, usually used with .active meaning

1.1. Having only one participle in a participle clause.
Ex:

The subject in the participle clause and in the main clause is the same.
Ex:

- Walking across the field, we saw a plane fly past.

The subjects in the participle clause and in the main clause are different. (these clauses
are not easily misunderstood)
Ex:

The same subject is not necessary when “following, considering, regarding” are used.
