If you have been studying the Russian language for quite some time, you might have noticed how much of it is occupied by complex sentences. And the ability to correctly understand their syntax just shows the level of human education. In order to cope with this task, it is enough to learn how to determine the type of complex sentence (and they can be complex, complex, non-union and complex with different types of communication). However, the first two types are the main ones. And due to the fact that this is easiest to do with unions linking parts of a complex sentence, you just need to check the list of composing and subordinate unions. Just with him you will be able to familiarize yourself in this article.
Types of complex offers
Before dealing with the list of compositional unions and the list of subordinate unions, you need to understand what types of complex sentences exist.
- In complex allied sentences, the semantic parts are equal, that is, none of them has a dependence on the other. Example. The sun was shining on the street, and life was beautiful.
- In complex subjunctive allied sentences, the semantic parts are unequal, that is, one of them is dependent on the other. Example. I stepped out of the stuffy living room to breathe in some fresh morning air.
- Union-free complex sentences are connected only by intonation and meaning, without the help of unions. Example. And finally, I heard: a thin, buzzing sound seemed to grow with every second.
- In complex sentences with different types of communication, at least two of the above types of communication are combined. Example. I smiled when the son of my subordinate entered the room, because he sympathized with me.
List of Writing Unions
Neither ... nor, too, also, yes (with the meaning of the union "and"), and, whether ... whether, not that ... not that, or, or, and that ... and that, then ... then, yes (with the meaning of "but"), but, but, however, also, on the other hand.
List of subordinate unions
When, how, only, so far, hardly only, only, barely, as soon as, because, because, because, because, due to the fact that, due to the fact, due to the fact, because what, since, so that (so), so that, so that, if, once, if (if), when, if, if, if, if, when, if, at least, let, for nothing, despite the fact that, despite the fact that, although (at least), so that, as if, as if (how), exactly, as if, as if (would).
Now, in order to determine the type of complex union proposal (by the way, these two types have abbreviations MTP and NGN), it is enough to use this list.
