CSP sentence diagrams examples. What are complex sentences with different types of connection?

The complex sentence diagram must be correctly composed. Only she will help you understand complex cases of placing commas, dashes and colons. In addition, its schematic execution also helps to correctly characterize a complex syntactic unit. Issues of syntax and punctuation are included in the tasks of the Unified State Exam and State Examination, so it is absolutely necessary to be able to visually represent the composition of a complex sentence. How to do this correctly? Let's find out in this article.

The concept of a complex sentence

It is necessary to define a complex sentence as such. This is the most complex syntactic unit, containing several simple ones.

Thus, such a sentence has at least two grammatical stems. They can be related to each other in different ways:

  • and allied words.
  • Non-union.
  • Within one syntactic unit, various types of connections can be observed.

Accordingly, in the Russian language they are determined by the type of connection within them. They will be called complex, compound, non-union and with different types of connection, respectively.

Proposal outline: main points

The layout of a complex sentence requires special attention. In fact, it is necessary to explain the placement of all punctuation marks. the algorithm for its compilation can be presented as follows:

  1. Highlight grammatical basics and determine the number of parts.
  2. Find out the type of connection between parts within a sentence. It must be remembered that we denote subordination with round brackets, the main part, coordinating and non-union connections with square brackets.
  3. Identify the minor members of the sentence, see if there are homogeneous ones among them. The latter are also necessary in an expanded circuit. It should be remembered that particles and conjunctions do not play a syntactic function. Prepositions refer to those parts of a sentence with which they form a grammatical link.
  4. See how each part of the circumstance is complicated, introductory words and constructions, homogeneous members).
  5. In a complex sentence, determine the type of subordination: parallel or sequential.

Complex sentence and its diagram

Let's look at everything using a specific example: In the summer sky, dappled with rippling clouds, small clouds began to gather, and a cool rain began to drizzle.

First, let's prove that this sentence is really complex. It has two bases: clouds (subject 1), began to gather (predicate 2); rain (subject 2), drizzled (predicate 2). The parts are connected by a conjunction and, accordingly, a compound sentence.

We work with the first part: in the sky - a circumstance expressed by a noun with a preposition; summer - definition expressed by an adjective; small - definition expressed by an adjective. This part is complicated by the isolated definition of clouds dappled with ripples; it is expressed by a participial phrase.

The second part has only one minor member, the definition of cool. It is not complicated by anything. Thus, the complex sentence diagram will look like this:

, [and=-]

In this diagram, the sign X indicates the word being defined to which the separate definition applies.

The diagram will help to distinguish a complex sentence from a simple one with homogeneous predicates connected by the conjunction and. Let's compare: In the summer sky, dappled with rippling clouds, small clouds began to gather and cover the horizon. Here there are only homogeneous predicates: they began to gather, to cover. They are connected by and.

Complex sentence and its scheme

Complex sentences in Russian with a subordinating connection have unequal parts: main and subordinate. It is quite simple to identify them: the latter always contains a subordinating conjunction, or such complex sentence schemes are quite interesting. We will look at examples below. The fact is that a subordinate clause can appear at the beginning or end of a sentence and even break the main one.

When the Cossack raised his hand and shouted, a shot rang out. The sentence is complex: Cossack - subject 1; raised, shouted - predicates 1; shot - subject 2; rang out - predicate 2. The parts are connected by the conjunction when, it is subordinating, therefore the sentence is complex. In this case, the subordinate clause begins the sentence. Let's prove it. Firstly, it contains a union, and secondly, one can easily ask a question about it: the shot rang out (when?) when the Cossack raised his hand. In the diagram, the subordinate clause is enclosed in parentheses. In addition, the subordinate clause is complicated by homogeneous predicates (we also indicate them graphically). The scheme of a complex sentence will look like this: (when - = and =), [=-].

Another option is when a complex sentence begins with the main part: A shot rang out as the Cossack raised his hand and shouted.[=-], (when - = and =).

Complex sentences: special cases

The greatest difficulty is presented by complex sentences broken by subordinate clauses. Let's look at examples with unions now. The smoke from the fires, into which they threw everything, corroded my eyes to the point of tears. The grammatical basis of the main part: smoke is the subject, corroded is the predicate. The subordinate clause contains only the predicate thrown. The grammatical basis of the main part is broken by a subordinate clause with the conjunctive word which. Accordingly, the scheme will be like this: [-, (in which =), =].

Another example: The hut where we decided to stay, empty for several years, was located on the very edge of the village. Main part: subject - hut, predicate - was; it is complicated by the participial phrase, which is not isolated. Subordinate clause: subject - we, predicate - decided to stop. The scheme is as follows: [|p.o.|-, (where -=), =].

Scheme of a non-union complex sentence

We looked at coordinating and subordinating complex sentences. Examples with unions are not the only ones. There is also a connection of parts solely by meaning, non-union. Here the correct scheme is especially important, because in such sentences, along with commas, a semicolon, dash or colon can be used. Their choice depends on semantic and grammatical relations.

It should be remembered that the parts of a non-union sentence are equivalent and are indicated by square brackets. Let's look at examples.

  1. The wind howled even stronger; The rats, scurrying around in their holes, ran even louder. This is a complex sentence, consisting of two parts: in the first, the wind howled, in the second, the rats ran. According to the rule, if there are still punctuation marks in other parts, it is required to put a semicolon in a non-union connection. The second part contains a separate definition, separated by a comma. The scheme will look like this: [-=]; [=-, |p.o.|].
  2. There was a bustle in the house all day: servants were rushing around every now and then, the princesses were trying on outfits, the adults were excitedly checking their readiness for the holiday. This sentence with a non-union connection has four parts. The grammatical basics are as follows: vanity (subject) was (predicate), servants (subject) scurried about (predicate), princesses (subject) tried on (predicate), adults (subject) checked (predicate). The first sentence is explained by the subsequent ones, so a colon is necessary. The scheme is: [=-]: [=-], [-=], [-=].
  3. If you read as a child, books will become true friends for life. Let us prove that the sentence is complex. There are two grammatical bases here: you will (predicate), books (subject) will become friends (predicate). In this case, a dash is required, because the second part contains a corollary to the first. The scheme is simple: [=] - [-=].

Different types of connection in a complex sentence

When studying complex sentences at school (8th grade), various types of connections are also taught within one sentence. Let's look at drawing up a diagram of such a design.

The souvenirs purchased during the trip were associated with some kind of history, and each trinket had a long pedigree, but among all these rare things there would not be one that would be worth attention in itself.(B. Garth)

This sentence has 4 parts connected by coordinating and subordinating connections. The first - the souvenirs (subject) were connected (predicate), the second - the trinket (subject) possessed (predicate), the third - was not found (only the predicate), the fourth which (conjunctive word, subject) would be worth attention (predicate). There is a creative connection between the first and second parts; in addition, the first contains a separate definition; between the second and third there is also a coordinating one, between the third and fourth there is a subordinating one. The scheme will be like this: [-,|p.o.|,=], [a-=], [but =], (which =).

Characteristics of a complex sentence

The characteristics of the proposal should be inseparable from the diagram. It must indicate what it is in terms of the purpose of the statement and intonation, and then it is necessary to describe each of the parts: composition (one or two parts), prevalence, complete or not, and how it is complicated.

Let us take as an example a sentence, the diagram of which was drawn up in the previous section. It is narrative, non-exclamatory. 1st part: two-part, widespread, complete, complicated by a separate definition, expressed by a participial phrase; 2nd part: two-part, widespread, complete, uncomplicated; 3rd part: one-part (impersonal), widespread, complete, uncomplicated; 4th part: two-part, widespread, complete, uncomplicated.

Compound sentence - this is a complex sentence in which simple sentences are connected by coordinating conjunctions and, as a rule, are equal grammatically and in meaning.

Coordinating conjunctions that connect simple sentences are found between simple sentences and are not included in any of them.

By conjunctions and by meaning compound sentences are divided into six groups.

1. Complex sentences With connecting unions: and, yes(= i), nor- neither. They talk about a) the simultaneity of events and phenomena, or b) their succession, or c) the conditionality of one event by another. For example: a) Neither [ viburnum does not grow between them], nor [ grass Not turns green] (I. Turgenev)- No no ; AND [ the wind was rushing fast through the weeds], and [sheaves sparks flew through the fogs]... (A. Blok)- And, and; [Only oriole gi shouting], Yes[cuckoos vying with each other count down someone has unlived years] (M. Sholokhov)- , Yes ;

b) [Two or three fell large drops rain], and [suddenly lightning flashed]. (I. Goncharov) - [], And ; [Door across the street in a brightly lit store slammed], and [from it showed Xia citizen]. (M. Bulgakov)- , And .

V) [Life is given once], and [ I want to live her cheerfully, meaningfully, beautifully] (A. Chekhov)(the second sentence expresses the result, consequence, conclusion from the content of the first) - , and ; [Tell you give her two words], and [ she is saved] (A. Chekhov)(in the first sentence the condition of the action (state) in the second is indicated) - , and ; [It was getting hot], and I hurried home] (M. Lermontov)(in the first sentence the reason for the action in the second is indicated) -, and; [Free seats did not have], and [im had to stand] (V. Rasputin)- , And .

2. Complex sentences with separators unions: or (or), either, whether- or then- this, not that- neither this nor that- either. They indicate alternation phenomena, on possibility (choice) one phenomena of two or several. For example: [The dog will bark brownie], il [ the breeze will rustle in sheets of darkening will fly by] (N. Yazykov [], il , il ; That [ Sun dim glitters], That [ cloud black hanging(N. Nekrasov)

This, that; Not that [ it was getting light], not that [ it was getting dark] (Yu. German)- Not that, not that (in sentences with conjunctions either- either or not- not that mutual exclusion is complicated by the meaning of conjecture or an indication of the difficulty in choosing the exact designation of the situation).

3. Complex sentences With adversative unions: ah, but, yes(= but), however, on the other hand, only. In them, one phenomenon is contrasted with another or differs in some way from it. For example: [Ranks people are given], A [people can be deceived] (A. Griboyedov)- , A ; [Beliefs are instilled theory], [ behavior same is being formed example] (A. Herzen)(union same combines two meanings: an adversative conjunction and an intensifying particle; therefore, it does not stand between simple sentences, but after the first word of the second sentence, highlighting this word) - , [same]; [They, Certainly, don't know me], yes \I them I know] (F. Dostoevsky)- , Yes ; [Fedya never didn't cry], but [ found it's wild at times stubbornness] (I. Turgenev)- , but ; [She didn't move], Just a bit eyebrows moved] (V. Rasputin)- , only ; [Was it's already spring month March], however [at night the trees were cracking from the cold, like in December] (A. Chekhov)- , however . (The adversative conjunction “however” always appears at the beginning of a simple sentence; it can be replaced by the conjunction “but”; a comma is not placed after it. The introductory word “however”, which is homonymous to the conjunction, does not appear at the beginning (i.e., in the middle or at the end) sentences and are separated by commas in writing. Compare: We were all waiting for him, however (but) he did not come.- We were all waiting for him, but he didn’t come.)

4. Complex sentences With gradational-comparative conjunctions: not only... but also, not that... but (but), if not... then, not that... but (a), not so much... as. In such sentences there is a comparison or opposition of phenomena according to degree
significance: what is communicated in the second sentence is presented as in one way or another more significant, effective or convincing compared to what is said in the first (what is said in the second sentence has a greater degree of significance for the speaker). For example: [ Cmnot really cruel, but [he's too de yat splendid character] (L. Tolstoy)- not just that, but; Not only [ Sonya without paint couldn't stand it this look], but also [old Countess and Natasha blushed, noticing this look] (L. Tolstoy)- Not only but .

5. Complex sentences With connecting unions: and, too, also, moreover, moreover. The second sentence in them has the character of an additional or incidental remark, often unexpected, as if it had just come to mind. [He felt in front of her as a child], and [ she thought him for the child] (F. Dostoevsky)- , yes and ; [Poor Nadenka has nowhere else to go hear those words], and [no one pronounce them] (Ah, Chekhov)- , yes and ; [Face her it was pale], [slightly open lips Same turned pale] (I. Turgenev)- ., [too] (conjunctions Same And Also in meaning they are close to the union And, but they do not stand between simple sentences, but inside the second one).

6. Complex sentences with explanatory notes unions: that is, namely, They indicate the identity, equivalence of situations, while the second sentence explains and concretizes the thought expressed in the first. For example: [Also here lived in his native Lozishchi and to a certain Osip Lozinsky], that is [ lived, to tell the truth, it doesn’t matter] (V. Korolenko)- , that is ; [Men's room the servants were brought we have to a minimum], namely: [for the whole house no more than two lackeys were supposed to be sufficient] (M. Saltykov-Shchedrin)- , namely .

Syntactic analysis of complex sentences

Scheme for parsing a complex sentence

1. Determine the type of sentence according to the purpose of the statement (narrative, interrogative, incentive).

2 Characterize the sentence by emotional coloring (exclamatory or non-exclamatory).

3. Determine the number of simple sentences in a complex sentence and find their boundaries, highlight the grammatical foundations of each simple sentence included in a complex sentence.

4.Indicate what kind of coordinating conjunction connects simple sentences into complex ones, and determine the semantic relationships between them.

5 Create a graphic diagram of a complex sentence.

6. Explain punctuation marks.

Sample analysis of a complex sentence

[You are many years late], but [still I glad) (A. Akhmatova).

The sentence is narrative, non-exclamatory, complex, consists of two simple sentences connected by the coordinating adversative conjunction “but”, a relation of opposition (with a hint of concession); simple sentences within a compound sentence are separated in writing by a comma.

That \ fell as if fog], then [suddenly allowed oblique, large rain] (L. Tolstoy).

This, that.

The sentence is narrative, non-exclamatory, complex, consists of two simple sentences connected by a repeating coordinating disjunctive conjunction “this - that”, an alternation relationship; simple sentences within a compound sentence are separated in writing by a comma.

[Women flash by in tents], and [ mongrels yapping sha-lye], and [samovars roses scarlet are burning in taverns and houses] (O. Mandelstam).

And, and.

The sentence is narrative, non-exclamatory, complex, consists of three simple sentences connected by a repeating coordinating conjunction “and”, simultaneous phenomena are listed; simple sentences within a compound sentence are separated in writing by commas.

Every day the school curriculum gradually leaves our minds and many simple things can be misleading. The rules of the Russian language cause such difficulties most often. And even such a thing as a complex sentence can lead an adult into a dead end. This article will help you study or update your mind on this topic.

Compound sentence

A complex sentence (CCS) is one in which the parts are connected coordinating connection, which is expressed by coordinating conjunctions. In this case, all elements are equal and independent.

Division by meaning of conjunctions of a complex sentence

  1. Connective: and, yes (=and: bread and salt), yes and, and..and.., not only..but also, like..so and;
  2. Dividing: either, or..or, either, then..that, either..either, not that..not that;
  3. Adverse: a, but, yes (=but: handsome, but stupid), but, however.

When children at school are just introduced to the types of sentences, only the three groups of coordinating conjunctions described above are distinguished. However, in high school Students identify three more groups:

  1. Gradational: not only, not so much..as much, not so much..ah, not so much..but also;
  2. Explanatory: namely, that is;
  3. Connective: moreover, moreover, yes and, too, also.

Thus, a complex sentence is distinguished with connecting conjunctions, disjunctive and adversative, as well as additionally with gradational conjunctions, explanatory and connecting.

Compound sentences: examples and diagrams

After the weekend he felt better and made a complete recovery.

Scheme: (), and (). Compound sentence with conjunction And shows the sequence of actions.

Every day he had to do homework or help his mother with housework.

Scheme: () or (). Dividing Andwhether mutually exclusive events.

Now you shoot something, and I’ll make a fire.

Scheme: (), and (). Union A– adversative, which means there is opposition in the sentence.

Not only her relatives admired her intelligence, but also complete strangers.

Scheme: not only (), but also (). This compound sentence structure divides events by significance and importance.

His leg was broken, meaning he could no longer continue on his own.

Scheme: (), that is (). There is an explanatory conjunction that is.

We have to do this, and we have very little time.

Scheme: (), moreover (). Union besidesprovides additional facts and information.

Punctuation in complex sentences

In BSC, elements are separated by commas, semicolons, or dashes.

The most common punctuation mark is comma. It is placed before both single and repeated coordinating conjunctions:

Let it be as God pleases, but the law must be fulfilled.

Scheme: (), and ().

Either I'll come tomorrow, or you come.

Scheme: or (), or ().

Semicolon used when BSC elements are very common and commas are already used:

The boy rejoiced at the new kite, ran after it and was the happiest person; and the elements were already preparing to pour rain, disperse the wind and break tree branches.

Scheme: (); A ().

A semicolon can also be used when a sentence has multiple parts:

I have this opinion, and youother; and each of us is right in our own way.

Scheme: (), a (); And ().

Dash is put when parts of a complex sentence have a sharp opposition or a sharp change of events:

The hall froze for a secondand immediately there was wild applause.

Scheme: () – and ().

When punctuation marks are not used

The parts of the BSC are:

  1. Interrogative: When will you be in town again and dare I ask for a meeting?
  2. Incentive: Do everything well and may you cope with everything.
  3. Exclamation: You are so great and I like everything so much!
  4. Named: Cold and wind. Stuffiness and heat.
  5. Impersonal offers: It's cold and windy. Stuffy and sultry.

To correctly formulate and present their own thoughts, schoolchildren and adults need to learn how to correctly place semantic accents in written speech. If in life we ​​often use simple constructions, then in writing we use complex sentences with different types of connections. Therefore, it is important to know the features of their construction.

In contact with

Classification

What are the types of connection between sentences? used in Russian :

  • coordinating with and without conjunctions, when the components of the syntactic structure are independent and equal in relation to each other;
  • subordinate connection, non-union and allied, when one part of the structure is main and the second is dependent;
  • conjunction, coordinating and subordinating, expressed using coordinating or subordinating conjunctions and allied words;

Complex sentences consist of several simple ones, therefore they have more than two grammatical stems. When you meet them, don’t be surprised and remember that there can be not only 2 or 3 parts, but on average up to 10-15. They constantly combine different types of communication.

Main types of complex sentences with examples:

  1. Non-union.
  2. Complex.
  3. Complex sentences.
  4. Designs with different types of connections.

An example of a non-union connection: The wind drives the clouds to the edge of heaven, the broken spruce groans, the winter forest whispers something.

It is necessary to note the main feature of constructions with coordinating connection. The function of a coordinating connection is to show the equality of parts within a complex sentence, which is done using intonation and the use of coordinating conjunctions. Non-union communication can also be used.

How are complex sentences constructed? examples with diagrams :

The sky cleared of hanging clouds - and the bright sun came out.

The fields were empty, the autumn forest became dark and transparent.

Sentences of the fourth type usually consist of three or more parts, which are connected to each other in different ways. To better understand the meaning of such constructions, how to learn how complex sentences with different types of connections are constructed and grouped. Often sentences are divided into several blocks, connected without a union or using a coordinating connection, with each part representing a simple or complex sentence.

Dependent parts may have different semantic meanings, based on this Complex sentences are divided into several groups.

Definitive

They serve to characterize and reveal the attribute of the noun being defined from the main sentence. They are joined using and: where, where, where, which, what. They are found only inside the main one or after it. You can ask questions about them: which one?, whose?

Examples:

How oppressively hot it is in those hours when the afternoon hangs in silence and heat.

For a long time he admired, smiling, his capricious beloved daughter, who was lost in thought, not noticing anything around her.

Explanatory

Refer to words that have the meaning of thoughts (reflect), feelings (sad), speech (answered, said) in order to reveal in detail the meaning of the main word, clarify, supplement. These also include demonstrative words - that, that, then, to which the dependent clause is attached. They are connected by conjunctions that, in order, as if, as if.

Examples:

The guy quickly realized that his friend’s parents were not particularly smart, and thought through a further strategy.

This could be seen from the fact that he drove his cart around the yard several times until he discovered the hut.

Circumstantial

Relate to or to words that have adverbial meaning. Let's name their varieties and ways of joining the main word:

  • time, specify the period of time when the action is performed, subordinating temporary conjunctions are used for communication: when, until what time (When talking about the war, the stranger lowered his head and thought);
  • places, talking about the place, are connected to the main word by allied adverb words: where, where, from where (The leaves, wherever you looked, were yellow or golden);
  • conditions that reveal under what circumstances this or that action is possible, are joined by subordinate conjunctions: if, if..., then. They can start with particles - so, then (If it rains, then the tent will need to be moved higher);
  • degree, specifies the measure or degree of action I, who are in question, can be asked questions: to what extent? to what extent? (The rain stopped so quickly that the ground did not have time to get wet.);
  • goals, communicate what purpose the action is pursuing and are connected by goal conjunctions: so that, so that (In order not to be late, he decided to leave early);
  • reasons, conjunction is used to join - because(He did not complete the task because he was ill);
  • mode of action, indicate exactly how the action was performed, are joined by subordinating conjunctions: as if, as if, exactly (The forest was covered in snow, as if someone had bewitched it);
  • consequences serve to clarify the result of an action; you can ask them the question - as a consequence of what? Join the union - So(The snow shone more and more brightly in the sun, so that my eyes hurt);
  • concessions, alliances are used to join them: let, although, despite. Conjunctive words (how, how many) with the particle neither (No matter how hard you try, but without knowledge and skills nothing will work) can be used.

Constructing sentence diagrams

Let's consider what a proposal scheme is. This is a graphical drawing showing the structure proposals in a compact form.

Let's try to create sentence diagrams that contain two or more subordinate clauses. To do this, let's look at examples with different inflected parts of speech.

Complex sentences can consist of several subordinate clauses, which have different relationships with each other.

There are the following types of connection between sentences:

  • homogeneous or associative;
  • parallel (centralized);
  • sequential (chain, linear).

Homogeneous

Characterized by the following signs:

  • all subordinate clauses can be attributed to the entire main word or to one of the words;
  • subordinate clauses are identical in meaning and answer the same question;
  • coordinating conjunctions are connected or a non-union connection is used;
  • The intonation during pronunciation is enumerative.

Examples and linear sentence diagrams:

I noticed how the stars began to blur (1), how a light breeze of coolness swept by (2).

, (how how…).

Sometimes subordinate clauses are represented by a cascade of explanatory sentences, depending on one word located in the main part:

It is unknown where she lived (1), who she was (2), why the Roman artist painted her portrait (3) and what she was thinking about in the painting (4).

, (where...), (who...), (why...) and (about what...).

Parallel

Such complex sentences have subordinate clauses with different meanings, belonging to several types

Here are examples of sentences with diagrams:

When our boat sailed from the ship to the shore, we noticed that women and children began to run away from the settlement.

(When that…).

Here two subordinate clauses depend on the main sentence: tense and explanatory.

Constructions can create a chain, which can be depicted in the diagram as follows:

In some places there were crowded houses, the color of which was similar to the surrounding rocks, so that you had to be closer to distinguish them.

, (which...), (that...), (to...).

It is also possible another variant when one sentence is inside another. Sometimes constructions are combined, connecting with one subordinate clause inside another.

At first the blacksmith was terribly frightened when the devil raised him so high that nothing was visible below, and rushed under the moon itself so that he could have caught it with his hat.

, (when..., (what...), and...), (what...).

Used in sentences various punctuation marks:

  • comma, example: The sister-in-law’s final remark ended on the street, where she had gone for her urgent business;
  • semicolon: Some time later, everyone in the village was fast asleep; only a month hung high in the luxurious Ukrainian sky;
  • colon: It happened like this: at night the tank got stuck in a swamp and drowned;
  • dash: Dense hazel bushes will block your path; if you get hurt on the thorny thorns, go forward stubbornly.

Sequential

Simple structures are connected to one another along a chain:

There is a known knot on a tree trunk on which you place your foot when you want to climb an apple tree.

, (which...), (when...).

Determination procedure

What plan is used to determine the types of connections between sentences in writing? We offer a step-by-step guide that is suitable for any occasion:

  • read the proposal carefully;
  • highlight all grammatical basics;
  • divide the structure into parts and number them;
  • find allied words and conjunctions, if they are absent, take into account the intonation;
  • determine the nature of the connection.

​If available two independent parts, then this is a sentence with a coordinating connection. When one sentence states the reason for what is being discussed in another, it is a complex sentence with subordination.

Attention! Subordinate constructions can be replaced with participial phrases. Example: Silent lightning flashed here and there across the black sky, dotted with myriads of small stars.

Types of communication in complex sentences

Conclusion

The types of connections between sentences depend on their classification. They use . The schemes are very diverse, there are many interesting options. Graphic drawing of proposal allows you to quickly determine construction and sequence of all components, highlight the basics, find the main thing and place punctuation marks correctly.

complex and painstaking work. Not all children learn a new topic right away; some need time to figure it out and understand the essence of the rule. Knowing the definition by heart, a child cannot always give examples and apply the rule in practice. There are many types of offers. Let's look at complex sentences in more detail and look at examples with diagrams together.

The concept of complex sentences

Before you start explaining a new topic to your child, figure it out yourself. The student will grasp the essence of the topic only when he feels confident from an adult. Where to start explaining new material? Ask your child to make a sentence consisting of two parts, connected by a conjunction and a meaning.

For example:

I saw something behind the curtain and ran into another room so as not to scream in fear.
Analyzing the sentence, we conclude that it consists of two bases connected by the conjunction “and”. Both parts of the sentence are connected in meaning, that is, one is subordinate to the other.

Let's look at the rule:

The definition must not only be learned, but also understood. Along with it, highlight the basics of simple sentences and depict them schematically. Ask to use the example diagram to create your own proposal. If a student has difficulty completing a task, help him. Read the definition again, think together and start completing the task.

To begin with, use a simple scheme where two simple sentences are connected by a conjunction or a conjunctive word. Do not use too many minor terms, otherwise the child will get confused and will not be able to punctuate and highlight the main terms.

Conjunctions and allied words

NGNs are linked together by conjunctions and allied words. Print them out for your child so they are always at hand:

Explain to your child that they are members of a sentence, so they must be taken into account when parsing syntactically.

If your homework says that you need to find complex sentences in the text, teach your child to use the action algorithm. Print it out and hang it above your student's desk. When completing the task, the reminder will be useful to the child and he will easily remember how to find a complex sentence.

Independent work

To consolidate the material covered, invite your child to complete the task independently. After the job is done, check for accuracy. I made mistakes, don’t be angry, because the topic is really not simple. Mom dictates sentences, the child completes the task:

Next, teach your curious fidget to use the diagrams. Show how to mark a main clause as a subordinating clause. Tell us that the subordination in a sentence can be different: stems can be connected sequentially, parallelly and homogeneously. Using specific examples, explain the difference using diagrams:

Important point! The subordinate clause can appear in any part of the sentence.

In this case, you can make a proposal:

When it started to rain, we came home.

Or another option:

When we arrived home, it started to rain.

May be so:

We came home when it started to rain.

As you can see, by swapping the basics, the meaning remains. Come up with your own simple examples where the subordinate clause is at the beginning, middle and end of the sentence.

Many children cannot immediately determine which type a particular sentence belongs to. Don't worry, when studying new topics, the teacher and the children repeat the material covered to refresh their memory. After all, everything is interconnected, and if you miss one, it is very difficult to understand the other.
