Embedded Clauses in German<br />
• As pointed out before, embedded sentences in German<br />
usually exhibit the SOV word order.<br />
• Dena glaubt, dass Clarissa Pferde mag.<br />
Dena believes that Clarissa horses likes<br />
• However, sometimes we can embed SVO sentences.<br />
Dena glaubt, Clarissa mag Pferde.<br />
Dena believes Clarissa likes horses<br />
• Interestingly, embedding SVO sentences is not always possible.<br />
*Dena bedauert, Clarissa mag Pferde.<br />
Dena regrets Clarissa likes horses<br />
