Keywords

Common misconception
Present participles are always preceeded by 'en'.
The present participles 'ayant', 'étant' and 'faisant de' can be used without the preposition 'en' e.g. 'Ayant une grand-mère musulmane, je sais beaucoup sur l'Islam' - having a muslim grandmother, I know a lot about Islam.
