初中英语-复合句

初中英语-复合句

初中英语-复合句初中英语语法--复合句本部分内容是中考中必考及常考考点。

考点详解:从句的概念:一个句子在另一个句子中充当成分,充当什么成分就做什么状语。

一、宾语从句1、宾语从句的引导词宾语从句是陈述句时,常用that引导。

在口语中和非正式语言中,可以省略that。

例如:___ us (that) we will have an English test tomorrow.如果宾语从句由一般疑问句转换而来,其引导词用if或whether。

一般情况下,二者可以通用,但从句中有or not或从句充当介词的宾语时,只用whether。

例如:I don’t knowif/whether she will come here。

Sorry。

I don’t know whether hewill come or not.宾语从句是特殊疑问词时,引导词就是特殊疑问词。

例如:Could you tell me where the post office is。

The teacher asked the students what they were doing.2、宾语从句的时态主句的时态是一般现在时,从句的谓语动词的时态要根据具体的情况用相应的任何时态。

例如:Do you know who was talking with at 8 o’clock last night?主句的时态为一般过去时,从句的谓语动词要用相应的某一过去时态。

例如:___ me that he had been to ___.从句表示的是客观真理、普遍现象、自然现象时,从句的时态一律使用一般现在时。

例如:She said the sun rises in the east.3、宾语从句的语序在含有宾语从句的复合句中,宾语从句要使用陈述句语序,“引导词+主语+谓语+其他”。

例如:I want to know when the train left.从句原因状语从句结果状语从句比较状语从句方式状语从句地点状语从句1、疑问句转宾语从句当疑问句由do。

英语学习:复合句概念解析

英语学习:复合句概念解析

英语学习:复合句概念解析主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句、同位语从句、定语从句和状语从句都属于复合句,主句是全句的主体,通常能够独立存有,从句则只用作句子的一个成分,不能独立。

复合句类型1、名词性从句在句子中起名词作用的句子叫名词性从句 (Noun Clauses)。

名词性从句的功能相当于名词词组,它在复合句中能担任主语、宾语、表语、同位语、介词宾语等,所以根据它在句中不同的语法功能,名词性从句又可分别称为主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句和同位语从句。

1)主语从句作句子主语的从句叫主语从句。

主语从句通常由从属连词that,whether,if和连接代词what,who,which,whatever,whoever以及连接副词how,when,where,why等词引导。

that在句中无词义,只起连接作用;连接代词和连接副词在句中既保留自己的疑问含义、又起连接作用,在从句中充当从句的成分。

2)宾语从句名词句用作宾语的从句叫宾语从句。

引导宾语从句的关联词与引导主语从句表语从句的关联词大致一样,在句中能够作谓语动词或介词及非谓语动词的宾语。

3)表语从句在句中作表语的从句叫表语从句。

引导表语从句的关联词与引导主语从句的关联词大致一样,表语从句位于连系动词后,有时用as if引导。

其基本结构为:主语 + 系动词 + that从句。

4)同位语从句同位语从句说明其前面的名词的具体内容。

同位语从句通常由that引导,可用于同位语从句的名词有advice、demand、doubt、fact、hope、idea、information、message、news、order、problem、promise、question、request、suggestion、truth、wish、word等。

2、定语从句定语从句(Attributive Clauses)在句中做定语,修饰一个名词或代词,被修饰的名词,词组或代词即先行词。

定语从句通常出现在先行词之后,由关系词(关系代词或关系副词)引出。

初中英语语法主从复合句

初中英语语法主从复合句

初中英语语法主从复合句主从复合句是指一个句子中包含一个主句和一个或多个从句。

从句是与主句含义相关的附属句,通常由连词引导。

1. 主句+从句:主句:I will go to the cinema tonight.从句:because it's my favorite movie.2. 主句+从句:主句:She is studying hard.从句:so that she can pass the exam.3. 主句+从句:主句:The teacher asked us to be quiet.从句:while she was giving a lecture.4. 主句+从句:主句:He didn't go to the party.从句:although he was invited.5. 主句+从句:主句:They watched a movie.从句:which was released last week.6. 主句+从句:主句:I don't know where he went.从句:since he didn't tell me.7. 主句+从句:主句:She wants to buy a new car.从句:because her old one broke down.在这些例子中,主从复合句的关系是主句是主要内容,而从句是对主句的补充、说明、原因或条件。

起到进一步解释主句的作用。

从句的引导词包括连词如because、so that、while、although,以及关系代词/副词如which、where、because等。

Complex SentenceA sentence with one independent clause and one more dependent clauses is called a complex sentence.When a complex sentence has more than one independent clause, it is called a compound complex sentence.Before we go into details of complex sentences, let us havea basic understanding the following 4 types of sentences:1.Simple sentencepound sentenceplex sentencepound complex sentenceLet us understand the above 4 types of sentences with the following examples:1.Jack bought a car.2.Ricky was a brilliant student and he passed theexam easily.3.John did not go to school yesterday since he wassick.4.James ran fast but he could not win the racebecause his start was late.1.Jack bought a car.Look at the first sentence which has only one subject and one predicate (predɪkət) and makes a complete sense by itself. Such a sentence is called a simple sentence.Look at the second sentence. It contains two parts:★Ricky was a brilliant student.★He passed the exam easily.Note that a coordinating conjunction, and has been used to connect the two parts. Each part contains a subject & a predicate on its own and each part can stand on its own. Therefore each part is a sentence which is a part of a large sentence. This type of part is called a clause. We can also note that each clause is independent of the other and therefore can be called an independent clause.Thus a sentence such as the 2nd which is made up of two or more independent clauses is called a compound sentence.You need to keep in mind that the coordinating conjunctions used to connect two independent clauses are and, but, for, or, nor, yet & so. Also the punctuation mark semicolon (;) can function as a coordinating conjunction in some cases.Now look at the third sentence, it too has two parts:★John did not go to school yesterday.★Since he was sick.Here you will understand that the first clause is an independent clause. However the second clause can only give a complete sense only when you read it along with the first clause. Such a clause is called a dependent clause.Therefore a sentence such as the third which is made up of one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses is called a complex sentence.Now look at the fourth sentence, it has 3 parts (or clauses): ★James ran fast★He could not win the race★Because his start was lateYou should note that the first two clauses are independent clauses and the third clause is a dependent clause.Thus a sentence such as the 4th containing two or more independent clauses with one or more dependent clauses is called a compound complex sentence.We have now discussed the different types of sentences containing more than one clause which we identified as independent or dependent clause. In the next page we will discuss more about dependent clauses which can be grouped in to 3 sub-categories as noun clauses, adjective clauses and adverb clauses.Clauses of Complex Sentence In the previous lesson we identified two main types of clauses in a complex sentence. That is, independent (or main) clauses and dependent (or subordinate) clauses. Here we are going to analyze the dependent clauses.Dependent clauses can be divided into 03 categories as;★Noun clauses★Adjective clauses★Adverb clausesLet us discuss each of the clauses, which is important in order to thoroughly understand the complex sentence structures.A noun clause is a group of words which contains a subject & a predicate of its own and does the work of a noun.Let's see the following examples with special attention to the parts in italics:1.I expect to win the race.2.I expect that I shall win the race.3.That you had met him before makes mesurprised.The first group of words, to win the race, does not contain a subject and a predicate of its own. It is therefore a phrase. This phrase is the object of the verb, win and thus it does the work of a noun. Thus it is called a noun phrase.The second group of words, that I shall win the race, has a subject and a predicate of its own. It is therefore a clause. This clause is the object of the verb, expect, and does the work of a noun. Therefore it is called a noun clause.The third group of words, that you had met him before, is the subject of the verb makes. Therefore it is also a noun clause.An adjective clause is a group of words which contains a subject and a predicate of its own and does the work of an adjective.Let's see the following examples with special attention to the parts in italics:1.The bag with a red apple logo is mine2. The bag which has a red apple logo is mine.The first group of words, with a red apple logo, describes the bag and thus does the work of an adjective. But it has no subject and a verb of its own. It is therefore an adjective phrase.The second group of words, which has a red apple logo, also describes the bad and it has a subject and a predicate of its own. It is therefore called an adjective clause.An adjective clause is a group of words which contains a subject and a predicate of its own and does the work of an adverb.Let's see the following examples with special attention to the parts in italics:1.John stopped working in the evening (When?)2.John stopped working when the evening came(When?)You will notice that the both groups of words do the work of an adverb as they modify the verb, stopped. The first group of words, in the evening, is an adverb phrase since it has no subject and predicate of its own.However the second group of words, when the eveningcame, has a subject and a predicate on its own and it is therefore called an adverb clause.We have seen that a noun clause is a type of dependent clauses which does the work of a noun in a complex sentence.Since a noun clause does the work of a noun in a complex sentence, it can be:1.The subject of a verb.2.The object of a transitive verb.3.The object of a preposition.4.In apposition to a noun or pronoun.5.The complement of a verb of incompleteprediction.In each of the following complex sentences, the noun clause is the subject of the verb:★How he could assist me was his concern.★Whether we can start next week seems uncertain.★That you did so surprises me.★What I said was true.★When he will return is uncertain.★Why Anne hung herself is mystery.In each of the following complex sentences, the noun clause is the object of a transitive verb:★Please tell me why you did this.★I do not know when she will return.★I cannot tell what has become of him.★I asked the man how old he was.★He says that he won’t leave.★I hoped that it was not true.★She denied that she met him yesterday.★Tell me where you like to live.★Nobody knows who he is.★Ask if he is at office.In each of the following complex sentences, the noun clause is the object of a preposition:★There were no complaints except that the start was bit too late.★Pay attention to what I am now going to say.★There is no meaning in what you said.In each of the following complex sentences, the nounclause is in apposition to a Noun or Pronoun:★You shall never forget this,that honesty is the best policy.★It was unfortunate that you were sick that day.★Her confession that you found the money in the street will not be believed.★His belief that some day he would succeed made him determined.★It is feared that they will not return.In each of the following Complex sentences, the noun clause is used as the complement (ˈkɔmplimənt)of a verb of in complete predication:★Her constant belief was that the infant might live.★My wish is that I may please you.★His great fear is that he may not succeed.★My belief is that she will not come.★Life is what we make it.★This is where I live.A clause coming after a construction consisting of an intransitive verb (particularly the verb to be) and an adjective does the work of noun and is, therefore, treated as a noun clause.In each the following complex sentences, the noun clause comes after an intransitive verb construction:★The sick man was sure that he would recover someday.★The boy was afraid that he would fall down.★All of us are so keen that you should succeed.★They felt very sorry that they lost the match at the end.From the above examples it will be seen that a noun clause is generally introduced by the subordinating Conjunction that. Sometimes, however, the conjunction that is omitted; as,I know (that) you did it.Sometimes, instead of a noun clause introduced by that, the accusative with the infinitive is used.★He thought that he was safe there.He thought himself to be safe there.★I believed that he was a true friend.I believed him to be a true friend.★This proved that the man had stolen the horse.This proved the man to have stolen the horse.★We know that Rama is alive.We know Rama to be alive.As we have seen, an adjective clause in a complex sentence is a type of dependent clauses which does the work of an adjective and so qualifies some noun or pronoun in the independent clause.An adjective clause is introduced by a relative pronoun or by a relative adverb; as,★Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.★He is the man whom we all respect.★The time when the boat leaves is not yet fixed.★The house where the accident occurred is nearby.★The reason why I did it is obvious.Sometimes, however, a relative pronoun introduces a coordinate clause; as,I met Anne, who (=and he) gave me this letter.He were using the relative pronoun who to introduce the clause. You should note that this clause, who gave me your message, is NOT an adjective clause because it does not identify or describe Anne. This is in fact a compound sentence and"who" means "and he"Now see the following sentence:He is the boy who broke the window.The clause, who broke the window, clearly identifies and describes the boy, and is therefore an adjective clause.The relative pronoun or the relative adverb, introducing an adjective clause, is sometimes understood and omitted; as,★Drink all (that) you can.★I saw a girl (whom) I know.★Where is the food (which) he left for me?★On the day (that) you pass the test I will give you a present.In order English but was used as a relative pronoun as in the sentences below. In such cases but is equivalent to a relative pronoun followed by not.★There was not a women present but wept to hear such news. [That is, who did not weep to hear suchnews.]★Nor is there a man here but loved our Caesar.[That is, who did not love our Caesar.]★There is no fireside but has one vacant chair.[That has not one vacant chair.]Note that than is sometimes used as a preposition before a relative pronoun in the adjective clause; as,★They elected Sunil than whom no better boy ever went to school.★It was a blow than which no crueler was ever struck.★We came to a spot than which mine eyes have seldom seen a lovelier.The infinitive with to is often used as the equivalent of an Adjective Clause★Give me some food which I may eat.Give me some food to eat.★He has no boots which he can wear.He has no boots to wear.★The doctor has given me medicine which I must take.The doctor has given me medicine to take.★I have work which I must do.I have work to do.We have seen that an adverb clause is a type of dependentclauses which does the work of an adverb. It may, therefore, modify some verb, adjective, or adverb in a complex sentence; as,★Strike the iron while it is hot.★You are taller than I thought.★He ran so quickly that he soon overtook me.Adverb clauses are of many kinds and may be classified as follows:1.Adverb clauses of time2.Adverb clauses of place3.Adverb clauses of purpose4.Adverb clauses of cause or reason5.Adverb clauses of condition6.Adverb clauses of result7.Adverb clauses of comparison8.Adverb clauses of supposition[ˌsʌpəˈziʃən]orconcessionAdverb clauses of time are introduced by the subordinating conjunctions whenever, while, after, before, since, as, etc.★When you have finished your work you mayleave.★Don't talk loud while she is singing.★I will do it when I think fit.★They were commanded to wait till the signal was given.★He came after night had fallen.★Do it before you forget.★I have not been well since I returned from London.★There was silence as the leader spoke.★The doctor always comes whenever he is sent for.★The world always will be the same so long as men are men.★As soon as he heard the news he wrote to me.★Just as he entered the room the clock struck.★No sooner did he see us than he disappearedAdverb Clauses of Place are introduced by the subordinating conjunctions where and whereas,★I have put it where I can find again.★They can stay where they are.★Where you live I will live.★He led the caravan wherever he wanted to go.★Let him be arrested wherever he may be found.In order English whence and whither were also used to introduce an adverb clause of place:★Go quickly whence you came★The wind beloweth whether it listethAdverb clauses of purpose are introduced by the subordinating conjunctions so that, in order that, and lest. (In order that and lest are used in a formal style.)★I will give you a map so that you can find the way.★We eat so that we may live.★The UNO was formed in order that countries might discuss world problems better.★He was extra polite to his superiors lest something adverse should be written into his records.★Sleep not lest your Lord come in the night.The conjunction that occurred in older English:★He drew the sword that he might defendhimself.★Come hither that I may bless thee.Adverb clauses of cause or reason are introduced by the subordinating conjunctions because, as, since, that.★I am glad that you like it.★Since you are so clever you will be able to explain this.★He thinks, because he is rich, he can buy justice★Because I like you, I shall help you.★I did it because I wanted to.★I did not buy it because I did not like the look of it.★Since your father is not at home,I will ask you to take the message.★Since you swear to serve me faithfully, I will employ you.★He was very pleased that you have passed.Adverb clauses of condition are introduced by the subordinating conjunctions if, whether, unless.★Whether the Rajah gives him blows or money, he will speak the truth.★You must go whether you hear from him or not.★I shall forgive you o n condition that you do not repeat the offense.★If I like it, I shall buy it. Come if you wish to.★If it rains we shall stay at home.★If you have tears, prepare to shed them now.★Unless you work harder you will fail.★I can't pay it unless he sends me the bill again.Sometimes the subordinating conjunction is omitted in adverb clauses of condition; as,★Had I not seen this from my own eyes I would not have believed it.★Had I the wings of a bird I would fly away.★He would be happier were he honester★Were an angel to tell me such a thing of you, I would not believe it.★What would you answer did I ask you such a question?Adverb clauses of condition are sometimes introduced by arelative pronoun, or adjective, or adverb (without any antecedent); as,★Whichever road we take we shall be too late.★Whatever may be the result, I shall refuse.★Whatever happens keep calm.★Don't annoy him whatever you do.★However cleverly you may cheat, you will be found at last.Adverb clauses of result or consequence are introduced by the subordinating conjunction that. Frequently so or such precedes it in the principal clause.★He is such a good man that all respect him.★The Romans built in such a way that their walls are still standing.★He spoke in such a low voice that few could hear him.★So terrible a disease broke out that very few people survived.★Very heavy rain fell so that the rivers were soon in flood.★Laws were quickly passed so that this abusewas checked.★He behaved in such a manner that his reputation suffered.★So cold was it that many died.The Subordinating Conjunction that is often dropped in informal English.★He was so weak he could not speak.★I am so deaf I cannot hear thunder★It was so late I waited no longer★He is so old he can hardly walk★It was so small I could not see it.Adverb Clauses of Comparison are of two kinds:(i) Adverb Clauses of Comparison of Degree(ii) Adverb Clauses of Comparison of Manner Adverb clauses of comparison of degree are introduced by the subordinating conjunction than, or by the relative adverb as; as,★He is older than he looks.★No one can run faster than Rama.★It is later than I thought.★You must work harder than I do.★He is as stupid as he is lazy.★He is not so clever as you think.The verb of the adverb clause of comparison of degree is often understood and not expressed; as,★Nobody knows it better than I [do]★Few are better leaders than he [is]★You like curry better than I [like it]★It will happen as sure as death [is sure]★Not many know the truth of this better than you [know it]Adverb clauses of comparison of manner are introduced by the relative adverb as; as,★You may do as you please.★It all ended as I expected.★As you have made your bed so you must lie on it.★As he has lived so will he die.★As the twig is bent the branch will grow.Adverb Clauses Supposition or Concession are introduced by the Subordinating Conjunctions though, although, even if.★Though I am poor I am honest.★Though the heavens fall, justice must be done.★Though he slays me yet I will love him.★He set sail though the storm threatened.★Although troops had marched all day they fought bravely all night.★I shall be able to get in although I have no ticket.★Even if he is old he is able to do a great deal of work.★I would not do it even if you paid me.So far we identified what a complex sentence is and also identified the different clauses which may form a complex sentence. Then we analyzed in detail each type of clauses and their sentence patterns. In this final stage we try to analysis complex sentences so that students can identify the various clauses and their relation to each other.In analyzing complex sentences, first step should beidentifying the independent clause (or the main clause). The next step is to identify the dependent clauses (or subordinate clauses) and each clause's relation to the independent clause.Let us have a look at the following example:When mother asked how he got his leg injured, he replied that he met with an accident.The above sentence contains 3 dependent clauses:1.He replied. (Independent clause)2.When mother asked. (Adverb clause of timemodifying the verb, replied)3.He met with an accident. ()4.how he got his leg injured.( Noun clause being theobject of the verb, asked)Sometimes, a dependent clause can have another dependant clause within it. Let us see an example:I believe that he did not receive the letter which I sent last week.1.I believe. (Independent clause)2.That he did not receive the letter. (Noun clause,object of believe)3.Which I sent last week. (Adjective clause,modifying the noun, letter)Sentences may be more complex in the case of compound complex sentences where there may be several complex sentences joined by coordinating conjunctions.Let us see the below example:Police asked how he found the bag, but he refused to answer since he was scared.You will notice that there are two independent clauses joined together by but. Note that both independent clauses have dependent clauses.Let us see another example:Peter came to Anthony when he saw him at the market, and he told him that he wished to come out of his debt by a marriage with a wealthy lady whom he loves, whose father has left her a profitable business.1.Peter came to Anthony. (Independent clause 1)2.When he saw him at the market. (Adverb clause oftime modifying came in Independent clause 1)3.He told him. (Independent clause 2)4.That he wished to come out of his debt by amarriage with a wealthy lady.(Noun clause, object of told of independent clause 2)5.Whom he loves. (Adjective clause, modifying ladyof Independent clause 2)6.Whose father has left her a profitable business. (Adjective clause, modifying ladyExerciseTry to analyze the clauses in the following examples:1.I regularly advised him that such business tactics will not result in any profit for him but he never accepted my advice and he continued to follow the same which finally resulted in a huge loss for him.2.He was satisfied with the things he had and it will be his pride and pleasure to hand down his business to his children as he received it from those who preceded him.3.With reluctance, she accepted the invitations of her old faithful friend, who once scolded her for refusing meat; but she said that he had become a vegetarian.4.I know a doctor with spiritual powers who can cure your illness although your doctor says it is incurable, but it is not possible to meet him immediately since there are thousands of patients are waiting to meet him, but you may give it a try.5.Whenever there is something that I don't know I tend to search on the internet but you need to know thereliability of the sites you browse since different sites are there for different purposes.6.The Police informed him that he needs to provide the correct information and if the information give is found to be untrue he will be sued in the Court where you may face sever punishments for providing false information.复合句complex sentencea sentence containing at least one main clause and one subordinate clause 复合句; 至少包含一个主句和一个从句[grammar]分类从属复合句可分为:1).定语从句(The Attributive Clause);2).状语从句(The Adverbial Clause);3).名词性从句(The Noun Clause);定语从句的定义定语从句在句中作定语,用来修饰一个名词、名词词组或者代词。
