Абсолютный (независимый) причастный оборот

Первая часть конструкции — существительное в общем падеже, вторая — причастие I простое или перфектное, или причастие II.

Конструкция является в предложении обстоятельством и обычно отделяется от остальной части предложения запятой:

¨ The morning being cold, Nick put on his overcoat. — Так как утро было холодным, Николай надел пальто.

¨ The rain having stopped, they went on with their work. — Они продолжили работу, т.к. дождь прекратился.

¨ Time permitting, I

¨ come next week. — Еспи позволит время, я приду на следующей неделе.

¨ Nobody having any more to say, the meeting was closed. — Поскольку нечего было больше сказать, собрание закрыли.

Если причастный оборот выражает сопутствующие обстоятельства, то он вводится в предложение союзом with:

¨ With Peter working in London and Lucy travelling most of the week, the house seems empty. — Дом кажется пустым, т.к. Питер работает в Лондоне, а Люси путешествует большую часть недели.

Обособленные причастные конструкции обычно переводятся на русский язык придаточными предложениями.
