Hello!
Could you tell me please if one could use "having" in the next sentences?
1)Having no free time, he had to go without saying "goodbye". (Because he was having no free time, he had to go without saying "goodbye")
2)Having no native sisters, she was the self-centered child. (Because she did not have any native sisters she was the self-centered child.)
3) Because she was not having the ticket she was not allowed to come in.
Thanks.
having

Re: having
Of these,
Because he was having no free time, he had to go without saying "goodbye".
and
Because she was not having the ticket she was not allowed to come in.
are not possible.
