This is a handout on the participial clause.
In fact, English is not as difficult as it appears. The most important part in a sentence is the verb. What comes before the verb, the so-called subject, is the topic of the sentence. And the part following the subject and beginning with the verb tells something about the topic. Thus, each sentence has only one verb, unless there is a conjuction to connect two clauses, each of which contains its own subject and verb, with the second subject sometimes deleted if it is the same as the first one. So if a simple sentence already has a verb, no other verbs are allowed. We use participles or infinitives.
By the way, to understand a sentence, the most important thing is to find the verb.
