Structure not + present participle

The present participle is formed by adding the suffix -ing to the base form of the verb. If the vowel of the last syllable in the stem is short and stressed, a single final consonant is doubled.

The Present participle – an adjective (modifier of nouns).

Example: playing children, running water.

The Present participle can be a modifier of verbs. (it describes the condition in which the agent is performing the activity)

Example: The children came running. I prefer to eat sitting.

The Perfect participle is used when it is necessary to emphasize that the action expressed by the Participle happened before the action expressed by the next verb. In this case it plays the function of adverbial modifier.

Example: Having finished his essay, the student attended to the experiment.

Example: A cat fed on smoked salmon will start demanding champagne.
