Help Detective Clouseau finish his rather embarrassing official report by selecting the correct participle forms for each gap.
_________________________ by a remarkably aggressive goose, I unfortunately dropped my magnifying glass into the pond.
__________________________ to admit defeat, I attempted to negotiate with the angry bird.
___________________________________ my dignity and my wet shoes, I looked up to realize the actual suspect had escaped in a taxi.
Chased by a remarkably aggressive goose...
We use the past participle (-ed) to replace a passive clause ("Because I was chased...").
Not wanting to admit defeat...
We use the present participle (-ing) to give a reason for an active state ("Because I did not want..."). Notice that "not" goes before the participle.
Having finally recovered my dignity...
We use the perfect participle (having + past participle) to emphasize that one action was completely finished before the next one started ("After I had finally recovered...").
