Participial phrase or adverbial clause?
"She walked to the store, snapping photos as the parade passed by."
I don't know why, but the "as the parade passed by" part of the sentence is throwing me off. "...as the parade passed by" feels like a clause.Is it part of the participial phrase? A modifier? What's going on here? Thanks in advance!
