One sentence containing a participle phrase could be:

HAVING FAILED MY MEDICAL EXAMS, I took up teaching.

In the example above, the capitalized phrase is a participle phrase (because it begins with the participle “having”) which is working as an adverb. Then, in this case, it is an Adverbial Participle Phrase modifying the main verb (the verb in the main clause): TOOK UP.
