SC strategy guide, 4.2 edition

[target.gmat.2010]

On page number: 109, second paragraph is quoated as

"Finally, the idea of completed action can be used simply to place a Present Perfect action earlier than another action in -ing forms, infinitives or subordinate clauses."

Kindly provide some examples to make it more clear.
However two examples are given just below the quoat, but i'm not able to relate each other.

Regards,
KK

well, the examples you reference are the examples you are looking for. it sounds like you're not following the description below the examples, so i doubt providing additional examples will help you. can you be more specific about what it is that you don't understand about the explanations given?

Hi Tim,
As you can see the examples given in the text book are realted to simple present, future tense and present perfect, future tense. It is understood without the quoted rule.
I want the examples, in which present perfect action is used ealier than another action in -ing form, infinitives or subordinate clauses.
I hope this time my question is clear and more specific.

EXPERTS KINDLY RESPOND.

i stand by my earlier answer that the examples provided ARE examples of the type you seek..

and please note that your question might have gotten answered several days sooner if you hadn't bumped your own post. when you respond to your own post, whether or not it contains an all-caps demand for a response, it pushes you to the end of the queue..

Where is the -ing form or infinitive used in the two examples. Both refer to subordinate clause.

[tim]

no one ever said ALL of those types are covered in the examples. i maintain however that the two examples are ones that represent "-ing form, infinitives or subordinate clauses"..
