Students handing in their essays late will lose ten marks. = Students who hand in … 2. A past participle can be used in the same way as a simple passive relative clause: We read the sent by the manager. = We read the that had been sent … This vase, made in China, is very valuable. = This vase, which was made in China, … She only eats cakes made by her mother. = She only eats cakes that are made … 3. 'Being + past participle' can be used in the same way as a continuous passive relative clause: The poem being read by the actor was written by my brother. = The poem that is being read by… The cakes being eaten at the wedding were made here. = The cakes that are being eaten…
