Summary/Abstract: This article discusses the present participle as a powerful instrument that can be used to condense a whole clause both in English and Bosnian language. The aim of this article is to study the subject of the participle itself, and in most cases its subject is the same as the subject of the main verb, but sometimes the subject of the participle is the object of the main verb and sometimes its subject is not even mentioned in the sentence at all. This phenomenon is very important especially when it comes to translating sentences that contain the present participle from one language into another.
