290–303 Clause types

The five chapters here introduce the notion of the sentence and the clause,
describe different clause types and illustrate how different verbs require different
clause elements to be present (the process of verb complementation). How
clauses combine to form sentences and the role of adjuncts are also dealt with.

These three chapters look at how time is expressed in English, dealing with
present, past and future time, and with how English expresses different
perspectives on time.
