Oraciones subordinadas
Se mantiene este mismo orden para las oraciones subordinadas, pero normalmente se
añadirá una palabra introductoria llamada conjunción antes del sujeto. (ver también

conjunción sujeto predicado objeto lugar tiempo

people Sundays …
Nota
En teoría, en inglés todas las frases deberían empezar por el sujeto, pero entonces los
textos largos resultarían muy aburridos. Con el fin de hacer estos textos más variados e
interesantes, en ocasiones se comienza la frase por el complemento de tiempo o la
oración subordinada.
Ejemplo:
As they do not have to go to work at the weekend, many people walk their dogs in the
park on Sundays.

Formación
La oración de participio carece de sujeto. El sujeto de la oración principal también es el
sujeto de la participle clause.
Ejemplo:
Having washed her hair, Susan reached for the hair-dryer and scissors.
Ejemplo:
Holding the hair-dryer in her left hand, Susan cut her hair.
(acción simultánea, activa – present participle)
participio ejemplo
perfect participle
activa Having washed her hair, she cut it.
(having + participio)
acción secuencial
perfect participle
pasiva Having been cut, her hair looked strange.
(having been + participio)
Las conjunciones as, because y since, así como los pronombres relativos who y which,
no se usan en las oraciones de participio.
Ejemplo:
As the hair was blown to the right by the hair-dryer, it could easily be cut.
→ Blown to the right by the hair-dryer, the hair could easily be cut.
Ejemplo:
Before she cut her hair, she washed it.
→ Before cutting her hair, she washed it.
Ejemplo:
After she had washed her hair, she cut it.
→ (After) having washed her hair, she cut it.
En estos casos, la oración de participio debe situarse directamente después del objeto al
que se refiere.
Ejemplo:
Have you ever seen anyone cutting their hair this way?
Forma larga: Have you ever seen anyone who would cut their hair this way?
