"Before they came, I had slept" ->"They coming, I had slept"
Having failed twice, he didn't want to try again.
= After he had failed twice, he didn't want to try again.
We can rewrite the first to the second, right?
And I was confused when sleeping happened before they came, we can write this sentence "Before they came, I had slept" or similar ones, right? And then can we rewrite it to "They coming, I had slept"?
Although I have seen "having p.p..., S past tense..., a lot, I have never seen "verb ing..., S had p.p..." or "Before they came, I had slept" is just wrong? What do you think?
I hope that I make it clear and thank you so much as usual.
If you do not like the example, please use your own ones with the same structures.
