What is the relative clause? Syntactic constructions differ in the number of grammar
of the basics. A
simple sentence contains one set of principal members, and a complex
sentence contains two or more. The
subordinate part can only be in a
compound sentence (NGN). The main part is always present in the design of the NGN, from which in most cases you can ask a question to the dependent. That is, a subordinate connection arises between them.
The formal sign of the subordinate clause in NGN is the presence of a means of grammatical communication (union or union word), as well as the impossibility of separation from the main thing without loss or distortion of meaning.
Types of subordinate clauses
There are four types of dependent parts in NGN: connecting, definitive, explanatory and circumstantial.
NGN with subordinate circumstances is the most difficult type of complex sentences to study.
This group of dependent parts is heterogeneous in composition. The questions asked from the main part to the subordinate adverbial are exactly the same as those of the eponymous minor member of the sentence.
10 varieties of adverbial clauses
An adverbial of this type answers the questions: “How?”, “How?”
Summer days passed so fast that we involuntarily accelerated with them.
In this case, one can ask the dependent proposals: "To what extent?" “To what extent?”, “How much?”

As the name implies, such an adverbial circumstance indicates the time the event occurred. Their typical questions are: “When?”, “How long?”, “Since when?”

This type of subordinate clause often refers to one predicate in the main part, less often to the whole sentence. “Where?”, “Where?”, “Where?” - The main issues of this type.
From where we go, returning on foot will be problematic.
In NGN, the relative adverbial reflects the concretization of the action taking place in the main sentence from the point of view of the final result. In other words, the design answers the question: “Why?”

- Conditions and concessions.
Dependent sentences of these types are similar to each other in that in both cases the circumstance is due to something: the action takes place “thanks” or “contrary to”.

In SPP with an adverbial circumstantial comparison, such a dependent part explains the content of the main one with the help of unions: “how,” “as if,” “as if,” “exactly.”

The dependent parts indicate the result or conclusion of the events occurring in the main sentence. An adverbial circumstance of this type is easily recognized by the so-and-so conjunctions.

The last type of dependent circumstantial parts answers the question: "Why?" Most often, the subordinate reason joins the main thing with the help of unions “because”, “because”, “because”, and a number of others.
Maria began to gather home, because the first lights were lit on the street.
It is worth noting that to determine the type of the subordinate clause, it is important not only to ask the right question, but also to determine the syntactic means of communication. Often, it is the subordinate union that prompts the type of NGN.
