Hi

Can we say "having taken out the visa, you will be able to go abroad". I mean are there any specific rules regarding the tense of the sentence following "having+PP"? Can we use past, present and future tenses?
Are these sentences correct?
1. Having posted the letter, she went home.
2. Having taught her, I always go out.
3. Having done the exercises, you should revise for the exam.

Thanks a million.

1. Having posted the letter, she went home. Sounds all right

Thanks. So you mean the other two examples aren't correct grammatically?
