Participle Clauses Dictation: Actions Happening Together

Find the person or group doing both actions. The ing phrase may come first, before you hear the subject, or follow the main action. Keep it in mind until that subject becomes clear. Here the activities overlap, so you can picture someone doing one thing while also doing another. Listen to the objects and place details belonging to each action. The ing phrase has no separate was or were in these sentences; write the shorter structure you hear without filling it out.
