Complement clauses are relatively simple. Like many other clause types in Shalian, complement clauses have two possible syntaxes: either finite, using forms of the preverb ''ith'', or infinite construction, formed with the preposition ''mi'' + infinitive. With infinitive complement clauses, the tense is usually assumed to be the same tense as the main clause. | |||
