How to model in BPMN the return to the main process

How to mod­el in BPMN the return to the main process 

The situ­ation is as fol­lows: we have a main pro­cess, where at some stage we have an activ­ity that is respons­ible for veri­fic­a­tion and this is a sub-pro­cess. Depend­ing on the res­ult of the veri­fic­a­tion, fur­ther sub-pro­cesses are called.

In the veri­fic­a­tion sub­pro­cess, we have end events that are defined as those sub­pro­cesses that are on the main pro­cess. There­fore, on the sub­pro­cess mod­el, would it be appro­pri­ate to mod­el ordin­ary end events with pro­cess names or sig­nal-throw end events?

In oth­er words, how do we mod­el a return to the main pro­cess, where the res­ult of the sub-pro­cess will con­trol the fur­ther course of the main pro­cess? What is the prac­tice for mod­el­ling sub-pro­cesses so as to show that we have a return to the main pro­cess? Wheth­er it is a sub­pro­cess that veri­fies some­thing or just has too many steps to show it on the main process?
