ABSTRACT

A sentence (vbta) may be said to be simply a string of words containing at least one finite verb, ending in a full stop (teaka), e.g.

Ptáci létají. Birds fly.

PrEí. It is raining.

If there is more than one finite verb, then each forms its own ‘clause’, in Czech also called vbta. The more complex sentence is now called souvbtí.
