I just looked it up, and it's exactly what I'm talking about! Here are a couple of examples they have on the Wikipedia site: "Walking down Main Street, the trees were beautiful. Reaching the station, the sun came out."

I'm amazed you knew what the term was in Swedish! You must really know your grammar! (Even though I'm a writer, I suck at grammar. I just can't comprehend a lot of it...it's like learning a difficult foreign language. Good thing I seem to instinctively know the correct way to write things! )
