Word Order and Clause Structure
Robin Allan, Tom Lundskaer-Nielsen, Philip Holmes · 2005
Several clause elements (i.e. any word or group of words) can be moved to the beginning of a clause (main clause statement): I aften har vi ikke set Peter. This evening we haven’t Peter har vi ikke set i aften. Peter we haven’t… 138 CLAUSE TYPES Most clauses possess both a subject (see 142) and a finite verb (see 143). 1 In describing clauses we often use the terms FV1-clause and FV2-clause: In FV1-clauses the finite verb comes first in the clause. In FV2-clauses the finite verb comes second, after some other element.
