The second daughter's name was Hygieia. Her job was to monitor

Where do mosses and lichens get moisture from? Water

the question is given to us by the fog, because it is constant

  • A compound sentence is a complex sentence with conjunctions. The parts of this sentence are connected by coordinating conjunctions

    A complex sentence is a conjunction sentence, but one part of the sentence depends on the other.

    Differences in CPP.
    ========================================================
    VSPP means of communication are subordinating conjunctions and allied words. What both types of sentences have in common is that they are means of communication,
    The difference is that conjunctions are not members of the subordinate clause, when the conjunction words, on the contrary, are.

    Demonstrative words help link sentences. They can be demonstrative adverbs or pronouns. They always appear in the main clause.
    ==========================================================
    Any place in a sentence can come before or after the main word.
    ==========================================================
    Adverbial clauses: place, manner of action and degree, purpose, condition, consequence, concession, time, comparison, reason.
    =========================================================
    Explanatory: Mom knew that there was no food at home.
    Definitive: Alesey bought the product that the seller recommended to him.
    Circumstantial, which are divided into:
    Places: We arrived to where this beautiful waterfall began.
    Time: this happened when he came to our school.
    Conditions: If he starts doing it, then I will start too.
    Reasons: Andrey was late because there was no bus.
    Goals: Masha ran home to pick up her things.
    Consequences: It had already become cold so that I wore a warm kurta.
    Concessions: Although today is a day off, we decided to get up early.
    Comparisons: He worked as quickly as his father once taught him.
    Measures and degrees: He is guilty to the same extent as the rest of us.
    Mode of action: It was already dark, as it should be in the evening.
    ==========================================================

A sentence is a syntactic unit characterized by semantic and grammatical completeness. One of its main features is the presence of predicative parts. According to the number of grammatical bases, all sentences are classified as simple or complex. Both perform their main function in speech - communicative.

Types of complex sentences in Russian

A complex sentence consists of two or more simple sentences connected to each other using conjunctions or just intonation. At the same time, its predicative parts retain their structure, but lose their semantic and intonational completeness. Methods and means of communication determine the types of complex sentences. A table with examples allows you to identify the main differences between them.

Compound Sentences

Their predicative parts are independent in relation to each other and equal in meaning. They can be easily divided into simple ones and rearranged. Coordinating conjunctions, which are divided into three groups, act as a means of communication. Based on them, the following types of complex sentences with coordinating connections are distinguished.

  1. With connecting conjunctions: AND, ALSO, YES (=AND), ALSO, NEITHER...NOR, NOT ONLY...BUT AND, AS...SO AND, YES AND. In this case, parts of compound conjunctions will be located in different simple sentences.

The whole city was already asleep, I Same went home. Soon Anton not only I re-read all the books in my home library, but also turned to his comrades.

A feature of complex sentences is that the events described in different predicative parts can occur simultaneously ( AND thunder roared And the sun was breaking through the clouds), sequentially ( The train rumbled And a dump truck rushed after him) or one follows from the other ( It's already completely dark, And it was necessary to disperse).

  1. With adversative conjunctions: BUT, A, HOWEVER, YES (= BUT), THEN, THE SAME. These types of complex sentences are characterized by the establishment of opposition relations ( Grandfather seemed to understand everything, But Grigory had to convince him of the need for the trip for a long time) or comparisons ( Some were fussing in the kitchen, A others started cleaning the garden) between its parts.
  2. With disjunctive conjunctions: EITHER, OR, NOT THAT...NOT THAT, THAT...THAT, EITHER...EITHER. The first two conjunctions can be single or repeating. It was time to get to work, or he would be fired. Possible relationships between parts: mutual exclusion ( Either Pal Palych really had a headache, either he just got bored), alternation ( All day long That the blues took hold, That suddenly there was an inexplicable attack of fun).

Considering the types of complex sentences with a coordinating connection, it should be noted that the connecting conjunctions ALSO, ALSO and the adversative SAME are always located after the first word of the second part.

Main types of complex sentences with subordinating connections

The presence of a main and dependent (subordinate) part is their main quality. The means of communication are subordinating conjunctions or allied words: adverbs and relative pronouns. The main difficulty in distinguishing them is that some of them are homonymous. In such cases, a hint will help: an allied word, unlike a conjunction, is always a member of a sentence. Here are examples of such homoforms. I knew for sure What(union word, you can ask a question) look for me. Tanya completely forgot What(union) the meeting was scheduled for the morning.

Another feature of NGN is the location of its predicative parts. The location of the subordinate clause is not clearly defined. It can stand before, after or in the middle of the main part.

Types of subordinate clauses in SPP

It is traditional to correlate dependent parts with members of a sentence. Based on this, there are three main groups into which such complex sentences are divided. Examples are presented in the table.

Subordinate clause type

Question

Communication tool

Example

Definitive

Which, which, whose, when, what, where, etc.

There was a house near the mountain, a roof whom I'm already pretty thin.

Explanatory

Cases

What (s. and s.w.), how (s. and s.w.), so that, as if, as if, or... or, who, like, etc.

Mikhail didn't understand How solve the problem.

Circumstantial

When? How long?

When, while, how, barely, while, since, etc.

The boy waited until Bye the sun hasn't set at all.

Where? Where? Where?

Where, where, where

Izmestiev put the papers there, Where no one could find them.

Why? Why?

Because, since, for, due to the fact that, etc.

The driver stopped for the horses suddenly began to snort.

Consequences

What follows from this?

Under what conditions?

If, when (= if), if, once, in case

If the daughter did not call for a week, the mother involuntarily began to worry.

For what? For what purpose?

In order to, in order to, in order to, in order to, if only,

Frolov was ready for anything to get this place.

Despite what? In spite of what?

Although, despite the fact that, even if, for nothing, whoever, etc.

Overall the evening was a success Although and there were minor shortcomings in its organization.

Comparisons

As if, exactly, as if, just as, as if, just as, as if,

Snowflakes flew down in large, frequent flakes, as if someone poured them out of a bag.

Measures and degrees

To what extent?

What, in order, how, as if, as if, how much, how much

There was such silence What I felt somehow uneasy.

Connection

what (in the oblique case), why, why, why = the pronoun this

There was still no car, why The anxiety only grew.

SPP with several subordinate clauses

Sometimes a complex sentence may contain two or more dependent parts that relate to each other in different ways.

Depending on this, the following methods of connecting simple sentences into complex sentences are distinguished (examples help to build a diagram of the described structures).

  1. With consistent submission. The next subordinate clause depends directly on the previous one. It seemed to me What this day will never end, because There were more and more problems.
  2. With parallel homogeneous subordination. Both (all) subordinate clauses depend on one word (the entire part) and belong to the same type. This construction resembles a sentence with homogeneous members. There can be coordinating conjunctions between subordinate clauses. It soon became clear What it was all just a bluff So what no major decisions were made.
  3. With parallel heterogeneous subordination. Dependents are of different types and refer to different words (the entire part). Garden, which sowed in May, already produced the first harvest, That's why life became easier.

Non-union complex sentence

The main difference is that the parts are connected only in meaning and intonation. Therefore, the relationships developing between them come to the fore. They are the ones who influence the placement of punctuation marks: commas, dashes, colons, semicolons.

Types of non-union complex sentences

  1. The parts are equal, the order of their arrangement is free. Tall trees grew to the left of the road , to the right stretched a shallow ravine.
  2. The parts are unequal, the second:
  • reveals the contents of the 1st ( These sounds caused concern: (= namely) in the corner someone was rustling persistently);
  • complements the 1st ( I peered into the distance: someone’s figure appeared there);
  • indicates the reason ( Sveta laughed: (= because) the neighbor’s face was smeared with dirt).

3. Contrasting relationships between parts. This manifests itself in the following:

  • the first indicates a time or condition ( I'm five minutes late - there is no one anymore);
  • in the second unexpected result ( Fedor just got up to speed - the opponent immediately remained behind); opposition ( The pain becomes unbearable - you be patient); comparison ( Looks from under his brows - Elena will immediately burn with fire).

JV with different types of communications

Often there are constructions that contain three or more predicative parts. Accordingly, between them there can be coordinating and subordinating conjunctions, allied words or only punctuation marks (intonation and semantic relations). These are complex sentences (examples are widely presented in fiction) with various types of connections. Mikhail has long wanted to change his life, But Something was constantly stopping him; As a result, the routine bogged him down more and more every day.

The diagram will help to summarize information on the topic “Types of complex sentences”:

Means of communication that form a structural mechanism that determines the dependence of the subordinate part on the main one:

1) unions: a) by structure: simple, complex, compound; b) by the number of positions occupied: single / double; c) in connection with certain syntactic meanings: semantic (although, if) / asemantic, i.e. syntactic ( What, How etc.); d) by participation in the differentiation of syntactic meaning: conjunctions of differentiating / non-differentiating type;

2) allied words, which are relative pronouns or pronominal adverbs and correlate with certain reference words;

3) intonation completeness or incompleteness;

4) correlates– demonstrative pronouns used in the main part and indicating its incompleteness;

5) reference words– words in the main part, extended by the subordinate part;

6) predicative order parts: fixed and non-fixed;

7) paradigm: free and unfree;

8) typed lexical items: a) emotional vocabulary; b) modal vocabulary; c) antonymic vocabulary;

9) private means of communication: a) parallelism in the structure of predicative parts; b) incompleteness of one of the parts.

The sentences in the text are interconnected both in meaning and grammatically. A grammatical connection means that the forms of words depend on other words in the neighboring sentence, which are consistent with each other.

Lexical means of communication:

Lexical repetition is the repetition of the same word.
Around the city, forests spread across the low hills, mighty and untouched. In the forests there were large meadows and remote lakes with huge old pine trees along the banks.
Similar words.
Of course, such a master knew his worth, felt the difference between himself and a less talented person, but he also knew perfectly well another difference - the difference between himself and a more talented person. Respect for the more capable and experienced is the first sign of talent. (V. Belov)
Synonyms.
We saw a moose in the forest. Sokhaty walked along the edge of the forest and was not afraid of anyone.
Antonyms.
Nature has many friends. She has significantly fewer enemies.
Descriptive phrases.
They built a highway. A noisy, fast-moving river of life connected the region with the capital. (F. Abramov)
Grammatical means of communication:

Personal pronouns.
1) And now I’m listening to the voice of an ancient stream. He coos like a wild dove. 2) The call for forest protection should be addressed primarily to young people. She should live and manage this land, she should decorate it. (L. Leonov) 3) He unexpectedly returned to his native village. His arrival delighted and frightened his mother. (A. Chekhov)
2) demonstrative pronouns 1) A dark sky with bright, needle-like stars floated above the village. Such stars appear only in autumn. (V. Astafiev) 2) The corncrakes screamed with a distant, sweet twitch. These corncrakes and sunsets are unforgettable; they were preserved forever by pure vision. (B. Zaitsev) – in the second text the means of communication are lexical repetition and the demonstrative pronoun “these”.
Pronominal adverbs (there, so, then, etc.)
He [Nikolai Rostov] knew that this story contributed to the glorification of our weapons, and therefore it was necessary to pretend that you did not doubt it. That’s what he did (L.N. Tolstoy “War and Peace”).
Conjunctions (mostly coordinating)
It was May 1945. Spring thundered. The people and the land rejoiced. Moscow saluted the heroes. And joy flew into the sky like lights. (A. Alekseev). With the same chatter and laughter, the officers hastily began to get ready; again they put the samovar on dirty water. But Rostov, without waiting for tea, went to the squadron” (L.N. Tolstoy)
Particles
Introductory words and constructions (in one word, so, firstly, etc.)
Young people spoke about everything Russian with contempt or indifference and, jokingly, predicted for Russia the fate of the Confederation of the Rhine. In short, the society was quite disgusting. (A. Pushkin).
Unity of tense forms of verbs - the use of identical forms of grammatical tense, which indicate simultaneity or sequence of situations.
Imitation of the French tone of the time of Louis XV was in vogue. Love for the fatherland seemed pedantry. The wise men of that time praised Napoleon with fanatical servility and joked about our failures. (A. Pushkin) - all verbs are used in the past tense.
Incomplete sentences and ellipsis that refer to previous elements of the text:
Gorkin cuts the bread and distributes the slices. He puts it on me too: it’s huge, you’ll cover your whole face (I. Shmelev)
Syntactic parallelism is the identical construction of several adjacent sentences.
To be able to speak is an art. Listening is a culture. (D. Likhachev)
