COPULATIVE COORDINATE CLAUSES

You are here: syntax > period > coordinated > copulative

The copulative clausesadd a positive or negative concept to the preceding clause.

Example:
" Marco va a casa e telefona a Antonio. "
In this example the action of 'telefonare' is connected to the preceding ('va a casa') positively and the two clauses both happen.

These clauses are introduced by the conjunctions:

• e; anche; inoltre;

If the actions have a negative form we use these conjunctions:

• né; neanche; nemmeno; neppure;

Example:
" Marco non va a casa né telefona a Antonio. "
In this example the action of 'telefonare' is connected to the preceding negatively.
