Hi,
I have a simple question, what is the past participle "followed...activities" modifying?
Can a past participle in any scenario modify preceding clause?
Experts please help.
Generally, COMMA + VERBed serves to modify the preceding noun.
Here,
followed serves to modify
a soft landing.
The conveyed meaning is that the SOFT LANDING will be FOLLOWED by a gradual increase in business activity.
