review some English grammar.

Dependent Clauses A sentence is composed of a subject and a predicate.
A subject can be a modified or unmodified noun, proper noun, or pronoun; it’s what the sentence is about.
A predicate is basically the rest of the sentence; it may be a description of the subject and/or the action of the subject. At minimum, it’s a verb.

Dependent Clauses An independent clause is also known as a main clause
or a superordinate clause.
An independent clause is a group of words that can stand alone as a complete sentence because it has a subject and a predicate.

These are signaled by the Hebrew relative pronouns: רש א or the prefix ש .

Adverbial clause
![Page 13: Dependent Clauses - WordPress.com · 2019. 1. 27. · Dependent Clauses A sentence is composed of a subject and a predicate. A subject can be a modified or unmodified noun, proper](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022071412/6108347f7d66f42eb23bec11/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Dependent Clauses When a dependent clause is used with a qatal (perfect
verb), it is giving relative past background information.
Often these verbs can be translated with a past perfect form (had + past participle); however, there are times when a present perfect form (have/has + past participle) is more appropriate because although the action took place in the past, it still has an affect in the present.

Dependent Clauses There are also times when a qatal in a dependent
clause can be considered a “prophetic perfect.”
It’s as if God is showing His intention of something being completed, but it’s manifestation will take place in the future.
It may be appropriate to translate these as a present perfect.

Dependent Clauses When a dependent clause is used with a yiqtol
(imperfect verb), it is giving non-past background information. Use context to determine if the translation should be present or future tense.
Until you learn verbs in more detail, retain this information for
future reference.
