Consecutive sentence in the Spanish language

A following clause or consecutive clause , oración consecutiva, is understood in grammar as a special form of an adverbial subordinate clause ( protasis ), oración subordinada adverbial . Consecutive clauses are the subordinate clauses which, in the main clause, perform the syntactic function of an adverbial determination of the consequence of the given facts.

Explanation

The consecutive clause (protasis) connects two clauses that are in a fundamental-sequence relationship; So they indicate a consequence, which means that they can express a consequence or effect. In German, the consecutive sentence connection always comes after the main clause ( apodosis ).

 Ich hatte viel gearbeitet, so dass meine Kenntnis über den Sachverhalt kein Problem mehr war.

The Konsekutivsätzen, oraciones consecutivas describing a sequence, and have usually a correlate or reference word in the main set, the final movements , oraciones final specify an intended result or purpose, or a goal, are together with the conditional sentences , oraciones condicionales which a condition for the Main clause action (apodose) denote the concessive clauses , oraciones concesivas , which describe a counter-reason that usually prevents a main clause action , close to the causal clauses , oraciones causales in the broader sense, the latter are able to express a reason for the fact or facts described in the main clause, since it all of these adverbial clauses always deal with cause-consequence relationships; they are also called the “group of hypothetical sentence structures”.

The following clause is introduced by consecutive conjunctions , conjunciones consecutivas .

In German, such subordinate clauses are made up of words such as: “so that”, “so”, “as that”, “without… zu” and “um… zu”. initiated. The consecutive clauses (protasis) provide information about this or answer the question: "With which consequence?"

The most important comparative connectors are the conjunctions, conjunciones consecutivas are in Spanish:

A consecutive subordinate clause (protasis) indicates the consequence or consequence of a main clause (apodosis). The consecutive clause is characterized by its unintended consequence, the final clause by an intended consequence from what happened in the apodosis. As a rule, such a subordinate clause is in the modus indicativus , modo de indicativo. If the conjunctions introduce a consecutive clause whose consequences from the event are uncertain, the subjuntivo is used.

In addition or because of this, certain conjunctions, conjunciones consecutivas and similar word combinations tend to draw the following:

Indicativo: "así que", "así pues", "por lo tanto", "por tanto", "por consiguiente", "luego", "con que"

or the:

Subjuntivo: "de ahí que"

after yourself. While other conjunctions introducing the subordinate clause are used in the sense of the above:

Indicativo / Subjuntivo: "tanto que", "tan + adjetivo / adverbio + que", "de tal modo", "forma", "manera", "suerte que".

- Examples:

 Su tío murió de una intoxicación etílica aguda, de ahí que tenga esa aversión al alcohol. Sein Onkel verstarb (schon) von einer akuten Alkholintoxikation von daher habe er diese Aversion zum Alkohol. Pretérito indefinido de indicativo + Presente de subjuntivo
