Scrambling in German is associated with the midfield, i . e . the part of the sentence that appears between the finite verb and a non-finite verb in main clauses and between the subordinator ( = subordinating conjunction ) and the finite verb in an embedded clause ( = subordinate clause ).

This-along with the impact Tamil has had on Sinhala syntax ( e . g . the use of a verbal adjective of " to say " as a subordinating conjunction meaning " whether " and " that " )-is suggestive of not only close coexistence but the existence of large numbers of bilinguals and a high degree of mixing and intermarriage.

This sentence contains two dependent clauses : " When they told me ", and " ( that ) I won the contest ", the latter which serves as the object of the verb " told .

Traditional grammars treat " that " as a relative pronoun, but not all contemporary grammars do : e . g . the Cambridge Grammar of the English Language ( pp . 1056 7 ) makes a case for treating " that " as a subordinator instead of a relative pronoun; and the British National Corpus treats " that " as a subordinating conjunction even when it introduces relative clauses.

In Afrikaans, as in English, it is possible to omit the subordinate conjunction " dat " ( " that " ); for example, the phrase " I believe [ that ] she has done it " can be translated into Afrikaans as either " ek glo dat sy dit gedoen het " or " ek glo sy het dit gedoen ", but in Dutch, it is not possible to do so, hence the sentence would be translated as " ik geloof "'dat "'ze het gedaan heeft ".

" The rule seems to have changed for the 15th edition ( rule 8.167 ), which recommends lower-casing " as " no matter how it's used.
