Hello! I'm bothered with the participle and its forms. Can we use participle I perfect as well as participle II in the following sentence:
The puppies having been shown / shown to me yesterday look cute.
I like the 2nd variant much better, but is the 1st one definitely wrong? Will there be any difference? We were taught perfect participles stress priority (intensifying the meaning of priority) or cause, but there's neither here. Can we never use perfect participles as attributes?
Thanks a million for your advice!
