Reduced adjective clauses

Hi

I have a sentence :

Having finished the term paper, he begun studying for the exam.

I think "Having finished the term paper" is a reduced adjective clause. My question is what the original sentence according to TOEFL grammar is ?

Thanks.

I have no idea what TOEFL grammar says about this but I would say: After he had finished the term paper, he beg a n studying for the exam. CB

Hi Welcome.

In form, it's a present perfect participle clause, like: Having completely consumed all the groceries in the house, John had to go to the supermarket.
