adding an adverb to particple in subordinate clause
Hi,
I am not too familiar with the adding of an adverb to a participle in a subordinate clause. I have seen both a past and a present participle used in a subordinate clause. Can we use an adverb with either of the participles? Can you help?

The sentence is correct. You are not dealing, however, with a subordinate clause (a clause must have a subject and a verb); you have an adjectival phrase modifying it .
