When invited, she gladly said yes.
In the above sentence, my book says the sentence is formed because ‘she was’ is omitted. And the sentence is the example of ellipsis of the same subject + be in the adverb phrase.
Then what is difference with participle phrase? The above sentence cannot be seen as an example of a participle phrase?

1. "When invited" as an adverbial clause: When (she was) invited, she gladly said yes. 2. Example of "invited" as a past participle: "Most of the people invited to the party didn't turn up. (The participle phrase 'invited to the party' describes the noun people.)" [perfectyourenglish.com/grammar/participle-phrases.htm ] IMO, it's an elliptical adverbial clause because of the word when, but I could be wrong, of course.

Thank you for the answer. Is it possible to see the sentence as a participle phrase which does not omit ‘when’?

That's a good question. Well, I can't see it, but maybe someone can. That's why I only commented vs. answered. BTW, I had to delete my comments and reenter them a few times because I had trouble with the links. I hope that they help somewhat and that someone gives you a good answer. Good luck.

The non-finite "when invited" is best analysed as a verbless clause. A finite clause can be reconstructed by adding a subject and a form of the verb "be" to give "when she was invited". Other examples include "While in Paris, I visited La rue Montmatre"; "Ed can be a real pain when drunk".
