ABSTRACT

By complementation we mean the kind of structures which are associated with verbs and verbal expressions, and with nouns which represent a verbal idea. There are three kinds of complementation in Spanish:

• Sentence complementation. The sentence is introduced by one of two complementizers, que or si: e.g. Pienso que tienes razón ‘I think you’re right’; Me pregunto si es tan fácil como dicen ‘I wonder if it is as easy as they say’.
