Differences Between The Patterns
Linguists have not been able to find any meaning difference between the two patterns. Nor does it appear to be a dialect difference, since the same speaker will sometimes use one pattern, sometimes the other.
Possibly there is some subtle difference in meaning that is yet to be identified, but from what we know now, the patterns are simply interchangeable.
That He (Pattern One: Kw'ses)
To say that he (or that she, that it, etc.) in Halq'eméylem, you can use the word kw'ses. Here are some examples:
(1) (a) Éy kw'ses lám.
Good that-he go
= It's good that he goes/went.
(b) Skwá:y kw'ses lám.
Impossible that-he go
= He can't go.
Kw'ses doesn't itself distinguish the sex of the person, so the sentences in (1) above could equally well be understood to mean It's good that she/it went and She/it can't go, too. If you want to clearly distinguish who it is that went, you can add tútl'ó, thútl'ó, or a separate noun at the end of the sentence (note that kw'ses is still required, in all cases):
(2) (a) Éy kw'ses lám tútl'ó.
It's good that he goes/went.
(b) Éy kw'ses lám thútl'ó.
It's good that she goes/went.
(c) Éy kw'ses lám te swíyeqe.
It's good that the man goes/went.
That He (Pattern Two: -s on Verb)
There is also a second, slightly different, way to say that he in Halq'eméylem. For this second pattern, what you do is just say kw'es (rather than kw'ses), and then you add an extra s-ending onto the verb. For example:
3) (a) Éy kw'es láms.
Good that goes
= It's good that he goes/went.
(b) Skwá:y kw'es láms.
Impossible that goes
= He can't go.
One way to think of it is that that he always requires an extra -s somewhere: you can put it on kw'es (that) to make kw'ses, or you can put the -s onto the verb, as in the examples here.
This pattern also can be understood as that she or that it. Thus (3a) could be understood in context. as It's good that she goes/went or It's good that it goes/went. Again, with this pattern, you can specify exactly who did it by adding tútl'ó, thútl'ó, or a separate noun:
(4) (a) Éy kw'es láms tútl'ó.
It's good that he goes/went.
(b) Éy kw'es láms thútl'ó.
It's good that she goes/went.
(c) Éy kw'es láms te swíyeqe.
It's good that the man goes/went.
