Present participle
Present participles can be used as adjectives,
as verbs, or like a qui clause. When
an adjective, it agrees with the noun it modifies.
When a verb, it is invariable. Preceded
by en, (equivalent to while, by, upon or
in), it corresponds to the English -ing verb form.
Used without en, the present participle
can act like a qui clause and can also replace a
causative cause. To form this participle,
drops the -ons ending of the nous form in the present
tense and add -ant.
Three exceptions:

| Est-ce que tu rêves en dormant? |

| En ouvrant le frigo, j'ai trouvé
quelque chose à manger. |

| N'ayant pas assez d'argent, il
a volé le livre. |

| Elle a vu un corbeau tenant dans
son bec un poisson. |
