Conjunction with Participles
Hi, dear friends
Is a participle sometimes appeared with a conjunction in a absolute participial
construction?
EX)?As we entering the building, the fossil dinosaurs came into view.?
Already I guess the sentence is neither participle nor a absolute participial construction but I don't know what it is.
Please give me some examples with conjunction in a absolute structure.
Thanks in advance

'As we entering the building' is not possible in English. I don't think 'as' can take a participial clause (at least none spring to mind), but other conjunctions can: When entering the building, be careful of the lintel. While understanding your feelings, I cannot accede to your demands.

Hi,
EX)? Entering the building, the fossil dinosaurs came into view.?
According to grammar this is not participles clause because in this case subject in main clause can't function for participles clause and this is an absolute participle neither since it doesn't have it's own subject
1.Please shed the light upon this.What is it at last?
2.Why
