Similarly, the verbs in the subordinateclause were considered relevant only if they were in one of the indicative or subjunctive preterit forms. Together with their arguments, they express a distinct proposition (a subordinateclause) which functions as a modifier of the proposition denoted by the main clause. The basic word order of the main and the subordinateclause remain intact. For every item of this test, participants were given the main clause and the beginning of the subordinateclause of a conditional sentence. The next fragment illustrates the canonical word order in which a subordinateclause precedes the main clause. In every sentence, the verb in the subordinateclause was missing and participants had to complete the sentence by choosing from four different possibilities. Considering only the declarative and interrogative cases, the following subvarieties of subordinateclause constructions can be captured straightforwardly. One difference lies in the relative unimportance of intervening adverbials at the clause boundary and the categorial status of the subordinateclause subject. The non-prototypical mood of the utterance reported by the subordinateclause is imposed by this verb. However, one would expect object omissions never to occur in a subordinateclause. It is this normal function that the particle has here with our adverbs, marking them as relative and thus automatically as introducing a subordinateclause. In other words, the action of the verb in the matrix clause happened after the completion of the action in the subordinateclause. When the temporal present implies a habitual state of affairs, the present indicative is used in the subordinateclause. The three languages mentioned are very closely related and have the same adjective morphology and subordinateclause syntax.
