👉 Subordinative, also known as subordinate, is a form of verb that indicates an action or state in relation to another. In other words, it describes how something is related to another person or thing. For example: 1. "She is his wife." 2. "He has no money." In these examples, the verb "has" is subordinative because it states that he has a property (his wife) that he doesn't have any other means of acquiring. Subordinate verbs
