Syntax / Clauses
Hi! I have problems analysing this sentence:
"I met Mary when I went to the cinema before I had talked to you"
As to the subordinate clause "before I had talked to you", is it dependent upon the when-clause or the main clause?

It is dependent on main clause of 'I met Mary'. You saying that you met her prior to going to the cinema and before talking to 'you'.
- It is dependent on main clause of 'I met Mary'.
- You saying that you met her prior to going to the cinema and before talking to 'you'.
