Clausal complements of verbs can be both finite or non-finite, declarative or interrogative. When a verb takes a DP and a clausal complement, the DP always precedes the clause. This is assumed to occur because it receives case from the verb in the light verb position. If so, the clausal complement cannot have occupied that position originally. (Clauses are not subject to the Case Filter anyway.) Furthermore, in some cases the subject of the complement clause depends on the verb in the higher clause, in cases of Exceptional Case Marking.
