In this feature we ask about the order of tense, aspect, and mood markers (TAM markers) with respect to each other. To qualify for this feature, it is important that the three markers be adjacent to each other. A context which favours the combination of the TAM markers are counterfactual conditional clauses, where the tense marker usually corresponds to a past marker, the aspect marker to an imperfective marker, and the mood marker to a future marker (used modally).
