Question

Paraphrase the following using Participle I where it is possible 1. The woman who is working in the garden is my sister. 2. The man who made a report yesterday came back from the USA. 3. I couldn't ring them up because I did not know their telephone number. 4. We went to see our friends who had just returned from a voyage.

Answer 1

1. The woman working in the garden is my sister. Женщина, работающая в саду, моя сестра.

2. The man who made a report yesterday came back from the USA. Человек, который вчера делал доклад, вернулся из США.

3. I couldn't ring them up, not knowing their telephone number. Не зная их номера, я не мог им позвонить.

4. We went to see our friends who had just returned from a voyage. Мы поехали навестить друзей, которые только вернулись из путешествия.

В предложениях 2 и 4 нельзя использовать первое причастие, потому что действие в придаточном предложении происходило раньше действия в главном. А должно происходить одновременно.
