The examples are appreciated!

Thank you for the link! Great examples, and such imagery - По небу ползли тяжёлые серые тучи, скрывая проглядывающее время от времени солнце. I note that I could probably have used "a" instead :) Прочитайте правило, а разобравшись в нем, выполните упражнение. but I am not asking about the "adversative conjunctive" - russian.stackexchange.com/questions/19899/…

was wondering why you put the comma after 'and'.... just style (as in where you pause)? Also, a little weird for me to see хвата́ть (verb) when I think of an adjective...

I've noticed most books predominantly talk about origin & formation of these 'animals', eg manner adverbs, participles, yet lack in explaining why their function distinguishes them from other 'zoo animals', eg: participles: 'A participle is a word which is partly a verb and partly an adjective.' Now, I understand this sentence - it also has a verb trait b/c it represents a state achieved by an action, 'to alot' - 'change over time', despite this action having Nothing to do with the sentence. My problem has, seemingly, always been expecting this change to be in the sentence's own context.

Okay, well those distinctions seem to me to correspond with my ideas of imperfective & perfective, the latter always seeming to be more narrowed use...

Hhmmmm I know these very short textbook questions are open to context & interpretation, but I viewed them both as not being able to 'always, now and in the future'... So you interpret the 1st as someone asking another who cannot drive, at this moment?
