Hello guys.
1. ''Solve the questions using what you have learned.''
2. ''He showed up wearing a suit.''
3. ''It is doing a nice job covering up the broken chair.''
4. ''I broke the law getting you out of jail.''
5. ''You were torturing yourself figuring out how to tell her.''
I can understand the meaning. But I don't understand why they are used without a preposition.
Are these participial used as adverbial? Or they are catenative verb?
