[Grammar] Having been tired/ Tired she quit her job.

[wotcha22]

1. Having been tired she quit her job.

2. Being tired she quit her job.

3. Tired she quit her job.

My question here is that whether it is possible to omit 'Having been' in the sentence 1 to make like a sentence 3.

(I think sentence 2 can be changed into sentence 3)

Both 'having been' and 'being' could be omitted. You need a comma after 'tired'.

Tired, she quit her job.

Not a teacher

In all cases, there should be a comma after "tired". For me, only #2 is natural.

Wording or commas aside, I don't find it a natural idea at all. Quitting your job is not a natural reaction to being tired. I could understand something like "Her job made her so exhausted that she resigned. She just couldn't take it any more".

After "Tired, ..." etc, I would expect "[Being] Tired, she went to bed" or "she sat down" or "she had a rest".

Do we need a comma if 'being tired' follows the sentence like 'She quit her job. being tired'?

With or without a comma that is a completely unnatural sentence.
