Complement Clauses

Complement clauses in Sereer generally just appear to involve the juxtaposition of two clauses. The unmarked order appears to be the main clause followed by the subordinate clause, but inversion of this order is possible, as well.

Some types of complement clauses require the use of the complementizer ye (or me, for the first person singular), in other types it appears to be optional, and in other cases its use is ungrammatical.
