PRESENT PARTICIPLE CLAUSES WITH PREPOSITIONS
Dialog: "A dose of caffeine roughly equal to that in two cups of coffee reduced post exercise muscle

A present participle clause is a clause that begins with a verb in the -ing form. We use these clauses
to give information about timing, causes, and results of events. When paired with "by" it indicates "the
method or means used". When paired with the preposition "in" the clause indicates "cause". When
paired with "on" the clause indicates "when".
