Subordinate clauses as complements to the verb

This article covers the types of subordinate clauses that encompass the following cases in english (in each case, the subordinate clause is surrounded by square brackets:
(1) "I see [that you are late]."
(2) "I don't think [you should do that]."
(3) "I expect you [to share]."
(4) "That you are late is unforgivable"
In Jéyûng, much like in english, this kind of subordinate clause does not need any kind of morphological marker. That is not to say that there is no marker, but rather that it is often omitted in informal speech. When a marker is present, a determiner is used before the verb in the subordinate clause. The marker takes the case of the clause (usually accusative or dative). These determiners have different forms depending on the sementic relationship of the subordinate clause and the main clause, though the most common one (considered to be somewhat neutral, insofar as using a marker is neutral in this case) is pVn. The following examples cover the most common ways and uses of the subordinate clauses of this kind in Jéyûng (all the vocab is available in the dictionnary.).
