In the English Grammar Profile, C1 point 7 in the category of FOCUS is defined as:
non-finite subordinate clause with an ‘-ed’ form, before a main clause, for focus, often in formal, academic or business contexts.
Also see Pearson’s 76 GSE C1:
add information using appended clauses with ‘being’ and/or passive participles.
Given enough time, she‘ll do it eventually.
*EGP is confusing when they say ‘-ed’, surely ‘past participles’ would be more accurate and clearer.
The two examples in the EGP start as such:
Compared_VVN to_II other_JJ European_JJ capitals_NN2 ,_, there_EX has_VHZ ...
Outlined_VVN below_RL are_VBR ...
With iWeb we can look for:
. _VVN * * * *
*but most of these will not meet the definition.
