We study the types of subordinate clauses

Russian is traditionally considered one of the most difficult. Foreigners, trying to master it, are amazed by the huge number of rules and forms of text formation.

In Russian, sentences can be of several types. Among them are:

1. Simple sentences. Only one character is represented in them, i.e. a syntactic relationship is established between one pair of subject and predicate. They can be two-part (there is both subject and predicate) and one-part (only one main member of the sentence).

clauses
2. Complicated sentences. They, depending on the connection of the components, are divided into complex, complex and non-union. Generally speaking, these are sentences that consist of several simple ones connected by unions and logical connections.

The most complex are complex sentences. There are different types of subordinate elements depending on the logical compatibility of the sentence. Often they are separated by punctuation marks and can be placed in any part of the sentence.

Types of secondary parts

A lot of different variations in the construction of sentences. In this case, various techniques and methods are used. Among the main ones, the following types of subordinate parts of sentences can be distinguished.

subordination clauses

Defining part

Answers the question “what?”. It is formed using the connecting words "that", "which", "whose", "when", "whence", "what". Example:

My son is a smart and handsome guy (what?) Who loves to walk on the roof.

Explanatory part

Use case questions. Subordination of subordinate clauses is carried out using the auxiliary words “what”, “how”, “as if”, “so”. Example:

Despite her temper and aggressiveness, she looked forward to her parents forgiving her for such behavior.

Extra time

The questions “when?”, “How long?”, “Until when?” and others. It is formed using the words "then", "as soon as", "since." Example:

All my misfortunes began as soon as I graduated from university and accepted the invitation from the strange and mysterious Mr. Volfer Won Dubershire.

Accessory space

A subordinate relationship is formed using the words "where," "where," "where," and related questions. Example:

How do you want to return to the village house, where no one will blame for shoes not polished to a perfect shine.

Relative reasons. The main words: "because", "since", "because" and others. Answers the questions “why?” and "why?"

My brother no longer looked so worried and nervous, because the appearance of a beautiful lady in blue overalls solved his problems.

Types of subordination of subordinate clauses

Often, subordinate types of subordination are considered depending on their connection in the sentence. So, we can distinguish:

- sequential submission: the subordinate clause submits to the main one and is located directly behind it, and the subsequent subordinate to the previous one;

- parallel subordination: all subordinate parts are subordinate to the main sentence, but to its different words;

- heterogeneous submission: related to one word, but have different types of subordinate clauses, i.e. answer different questions;

- homogeneous subordination: subordinate clauses obey the same word in the main sentence;

- combined submission: a combination of several types.

As we can see, the Russian language has a huge number of types of sentences and the relationships between them, which may cause difficulties not only in the proper preparation of the phrase, but also in its understanding. This explains the difficulty of teaching foreigners all aspects of Russian speech.
