Grammar
with his eyes closed/shining
1. He enjoys listening to music, with his eyes closed.
2. He came out of the room, with his eyes shining.
The above two samples share a similar pattern, but one uses "past participle" and the other "present participle" at the end of the sentence. I find it difficult to explain this away to my pupils. Do you have a clear-cut way to explain it? Thanks.
2. He came out of the room, with his eyes shining.
