"Hello, with all due respects. I have a few questions since I still don't understand the usage of this sentence structure. May I give you some example sentence below?\r\n\r\n1) Walking on the beach, I got sunburnt. \r\n2) Having revisions for several weeks, I have successfully got an A in the final exam. \r\n\r\nCould you please tell me whether these two sentences are in the relation of \"cause and effect\"?\r\nCan I rewrite the sentence in the following ways?\r\n\"Becuase I walk on the beach, I got sunburnt.\"\r\n\"I have had revisions for several weeks, thereby getting an A in the final exam.\"\r\n\r\nAre there any other kinds of meanings in this sentence structure? Also, I wonder if there is any situations which I can't use this structure?\r\nI am quite confused about the usage of this kind of sentence structure. \r\n\r\nHope you can answer my questions, thanks.\r\nVincent"
