===Constructions===
===='''Interrogative'''====


====Basic sentence====
===='''Imperative'''====
A simple, declarative sentence has a subject, an object and a verb in that order.


:Mary-{{sc|agt}} eggs-{{sc|pat}} eat
===='''Hortative'''====
:"Mary eats eggs."


====Passive====
===='''Reflexive'''====


Passive constructions are clauses in which the grammatical subject of an intransitive verb is the theme, patient or otherwise sufferer of the action. Passive constructions can be made by marking the subject of an intransitive verb with the patientive ({{sc|pat}}) case.
===='''Reciprocal'''====


:egg-{{sc|pat}} hide-{{sc|pst}}
===='''Comparative'''====
:"The egg was hidden."


====Anti-passive====
===='''Causative'''====


The anti-passive voice indicates that the grammatical subject of the intransitive verb was an active actor or agent in the action. Anti-passive constructions mark the subject with the agentive ({{sc|agt}}) case.
===='''Applicative'''====


:John-{{sc|agt}} back-{{sc|loc}} to carry-{{sc|pst}}
:"John carried [it] to the back."


====Relatives====
==='''Advanced sentences'''===


;Subject
===='''Serial verbs'''====
:[late come-{{sc|pst|}} girl-{{sc|agt]-agt}} teacher-{{sc|pat}} at;{{sc|appl}} yell-{{sc|pst}}
:"The girl [who came late] yelled at the teacher."


;Object
===='''Relative clause'''====
:I-{{sc|agt}} rose-{{sc|pat}} [see-{{sc|pst}} Kate-{{sc|agt}} girl-{{sc|pat}}]-{{sc|dat}} give-{{sc|pst}}
:"I gave a rose to the girl [that Kate saw]."


;Indirect object
===='''Adverbial clause'''====
:John-{{sc|agt}} [to write-{{sc|pst}} I-{{sc|agt}} letter-{{sc|pat}} girl-{{sc|dat}}]-{{sc|pat}} know
:"John knows the girl [I wrote a letter to]."


;Oblique
===='''Conditional clause'''====
:I-{{sc|agt}} [hit-{{sc|pst}} robbers-{{sc|agt}} john-{{sc|gen}} head-{{sc|pat}} rock-{{sc|ins}}]-{{sc|pat}} find-{{sc|pst}}
:"I found the rock [which the robbers had hit John over the head with]."


;Genitive
===='''Complement clauses'''====
:[dead-{{sc|pst}} father-{{sc|pat}}]-{{sc|gen}} girl-{{sc|agt}} I-{{sc|pat}} she-{{sc|agt}} sad to say-{{sc|pst}}
:"The girl [whose father died] told me she was sad."
