What is the Adverbial Participle Form (AVP) used for?
|
The Adverbial Participle is a form that is used to conjoin actions that are carried out either sequentially (as in 'I went to the store, bought milk, made coffee and drank) or simultaneously (as in 'I write looking at the book'). To use the AVP, these actions must be causally related. The AVP is often translated as 'having VERB.'
