<p>HyunKyoungJung: </p> <hr /> <div>A finite clause is a clause whose verb/auxiliary denotes an event/action/state that has a specific tense reference. For example, an English sentence ''I went to school'' is a finite clause because the verb ''went'' describes an action that happened in the past. <br /> <br /> Another property of a finite clause is that it takes a nominative subject. Thus, when the subject of a finite clause is a personal pronoun, it must inflect for nominative Case as in ''I went to school'', as opposed to ''*Me went to school''. <br /> <br /> ==See Also==<br /> *[[Clause (definition)]]<br /> *[[Non-Finite (definition)]]<br /> <br /> ==External Links==<br /> *http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_verb<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> <br /> [[Category:Technical Definitions]]<br /> [[Category:Morphology]]<br /> [[Category:Semantics]]</div>

<p>HyunKyoungJung: /* See Also */</p> <hr /> <div>A non-finite clause is a clause where the verb/auxiliary does not contain the tense information of the event/action/state it describes. For example, in an English sentence ''She wants [to go to school]'', the embedded clause in the brackets is non-finite in that the tense of the action described by the verb ''go'' is not expressed.<br /> <br /> The subject of a non-finite clause can be omitted as in ''She wants [PRO to go to school]''; When it appears as a personal pronoun, it must inflect for accusative Case as in ''She wants [him go to school]'', as opposed to ''*She wants [he go to school]''.<br /> <br /> ==See Also==<br /> *[[Clause (definition)]]<br /> *[[Finite (definition)]]<br /> <br /> ==External Links==<br /> *http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-finite_verb<br /> <br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> <br /> [[Category:Technical Definitions]]<br /> [[Category:Syntax]]</div>
