Lesson two: After + having | being + PAST PARTICIPLE


Let’s explain some examples of the grammar structure: ‘after being pp‘ and ‘after having pp‘:

1. After being told these stories, I started thinking.


Grammar Revision – 12 Advanced- Term 3 – 2023/2024 Mohammad Abumuslem
0567078886
2. I moved back to India after having spent six years in the US.
• Firstly, ‘after’ is a preposition before a complement ‘verb-ing’ clause. For
example, ‘after the story’, ‘after the U.S.‘
• We can write ‘after being told…’ in another way with the same meaning: ‘After I
was told…’
• Here ‘being‘ is non-finite, which means: it does not have the meaning of time. ‘I
was told‘ is the past simple passive’.
• We could start sentence 1 in an active way too: After somebody told me… (but
the person that said something is not important)
• ‘I started thinking’ is the main clause and it happened second in time. (being told
happened first in time)
• We change the order of the clauses: I started thinking after being told… You
can see sentence 2 has ‘after‘ in the middle.
• We can write ‘after having spent…‘ in another with the same meaning: ‘After I
had spent’ = past perfect simple.
• First, they lived in the US and second, they moved to India.
In conclusion, ‘being’ replaces some tense/time structure with ‘BE‘, and ‘HAVING’ replaces
some tense/time structure that uses a form of ‘HAVE‘.

Exercises:

After ………………… for the team, I trained hard every day. (select)
After ………………to work overtime, I decided to quit my job. (force)

After …………….into the army, he served his country for two years. (Draft)
After ……………a long and successful career, he retired.(Have)
After ………… to my new colleagues, I was given a tour of the office. (introduce)
After …………..alone in the house, I got scared. (leave)

Lesson 3: past perfect continuous in a relative clause


past perfect continuous in relative clauses to give background information.

For example:

I was scrolling on social media, and I saw a friend who had been sharing positive news stories.

Function
1- We use the past perfect continuous to talk about actions or situations that were happening
up to a specific moment in the past.
.‫حدث كان يحدث في وقت معين في الماضي و انتهى‬
By the time the bus arrived, they had been waiting it for 40 minutes. ( wait )

All+ time: ‫ طيلة‬, for+ time: ‫ لمدة‬, since+ time: ‫منذ‬

Correct the verb between the brackets to complete the following sentences:

1- I was very tired when I got home. I ……………………………hard all day. ( be, work )
2- We …………………………… tennis for half an hour when it started to rain heavily. ( be,
play )
3- Ali went to the doctor last Thursday. He ……………………………. Well for some time. (not,
be, feel )
4- Before he passed his driving test, he had ………………………….. for three months. (be,
train)

Lesson four: Defining and non-defining relative clauses

Defining relative clauses are crucial to the sentence. If the clause is removed, the sentence will
not make sense and will not have the same meaning.

That is why they are also called essential relative clauses, essential meaning necessary or
extremely important.

That is the woman who stole my handbag.

This is the book that I read.

The car that I drive is a red Mercedes.

Non-defining relative clauses are not essential to the sentence. If the clause is removed, the
sentence still makes sense and has the same meaning.

The information may of course be relevant, which is why it is included, but it is not the main
point that the sentence is trying to convey about the noun.

My grandmother, who is 86 years old, is coming on holiday with us this year.

My car, which is a Mercedes, can reach speeds of 140 km per hour.

Canberra, which is the capital of Australia, is located at the northern end of the Australian
Capital Territory

A Relative clause refers to a whole clause or sentence, often to express an opinion or


evaluation or give a reason.

non-defining (non-restrictive) relative clauses to comment.
