Participle and infinitive clauses.

I can use participle and infinitive clauses correctly.

1. Circle the correct past or present participle form to complete the participle clauses.

2   These scientists have designed a car powered / powering by solar energy.

3   He jumped from a train travelled / travelling at nearly 100 km/h.

4   The men decorated / decorating our house have made a real mess of the furniture.

5   They spent the night in a traditional Mongolian tent known / knowing as a yurt.

7   The tourists saw a message written / writing in large, white letters on the cliff.

8   His flat is full of old furniture given / giving to him by his grandfather.

2. Underline one participle clause in each sentence. Then write it as a full relative clause (defining or non-defining).

(Gạch dưới một mệnh đề phân từ trong mỗi câu. Sau đó viết nó dưới dạng mệnh đề quan hệ đầy đủ (xác định hoặc không xác định).)

The largest man-made object in space is the International Space Station (ISS), ¹_________ (which was built) by the European Space Agency and the space agencies of America, Canada, Japan and Russia.

The video, ⁸_________ (which has been watched) by about 25 million people so far, made Chris Hadfield even more famous.

4. Combine the two sentences using a participle clause. Sometimes you need to add the clause in the middle of the sentence.
