 ===== Participles to replace relative clauses =====

+Speakers of English often use participle constructions instead of relative clauses. Compare the following constructions. Both of them have the same meaning.

+  * As you can see, the participle construction on the right replaces [ersetzen] the relative clause construction on the left. The meaning of both constructions is the same. Participle constructions are especially common in written English. They sound more formal [förmlich] than relative clauses.
+  * The **present participle** has an **active** meaning (walking) and the **past participle** has a **passive** meaning (mentioned).
+  * The **present participle** can replace a simple form or a progressive form (see examples 1 + 2).
+  * In German, you usually translate a participle construction with a relative clause because the German language doesn’t have such a construction.
