二. Compound sentences 複合句/並列句
A compound sentence refers to a sentence made up of two independent clauses (or complete sentences) connected to one another with a coordinating conjunction (並列連詞). Coordinating conjunctions are easy to remember if you think of the words &34;
三. Complex sentences 複雜句
A complex sentence is made up of an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses connected to it. A dependent clause is similar to an independent clause, or complete sentence, but it lacks one of the elements that would make it a complete sentence. (複雜句,就是一個主句和一個從句(名詞從句,定語從句,狀語從句構成),從句是一個不完整的句子。)
常見複雜句錯誤,用一個從句充當完整句子。
Why do you want to study abroad?Because I want to know more about this world and expand my horizon. ( 只有表原因的狀語從句,在正式的寫作中一定要有主句)
分析下面的句子,哪些是複雜句,哪些是簡單句
判斷一個句子是否是複雜句,具備兩個條件:
A.是否有幾個完整時態的謂語動詞,如:
What I am reading is interesting.
這裡有兩個完整的時態謂語動詞: am reading / is
B. 是否有「 what, who, which, that,because, although」等關係代詞, 連接副詞 上句出現「what」 疑問詞,所以
What I am reading is interesting. 是一個含有主語從句的複雜句。
What I am reading 是一個從句做了主語,所以叫主語從句。
1.The book is interesting.
2. No one knows exactly the life on other planets.
3.No one knows exactly whether there is life on other planets.
4.English is a useful tool.
5.English is the subject that I like most.
6. I love the novel, The Old Man and the Sea.
7. Although some think that time heals all wounds, I love the saying that love, not time heals all wounds.
四. Compound and complex sentences複雜複合句,是指並列的獨立句中含有了從句。分析以下句子。
They got there early, and they got really good seats. 一般的複合句,或稱作並列句。
They got there early, and they got really good seats that made the others jealous of.
這裡加了一個定語從句,就把這個句子變成了複雜複合句。
考研英語中,這樣的句子有很多,算是比較難的句子,請看以下例句:
science does provide us with the best available guide to the future, and it is critical that our nation and the world base important policies on the best judgments that science can provide concerning the future consequences of present actions.
「and」 連接了兩個並列句,第一個是簡單句,第二個並列句裡是含有了定語從句和主語從句的複雜句。
判斷的標準,一個是逗號,一個是and,還有完整時態的謂語形式,以及熟練運用5種簡單句的句式進行判斷
