Types of subordinate clauses in Russian are distinguished depending on the semantic links between the parts of a complex sentence. But first, you need to understand what constitutes a complex submission (or SPP) itself, and how it differs from a complex proposal (BSC) of its brother.
Their main difference is in the form of a relationship that determines the relationship between the parts of these types of complex sentences. If in the BSP we are dealing with a connective connection (as you might guess from the same name), then in the SPP we have a subordinate connection.
Composing connection presupposes initial “equality” between the parts, i.e. each individual predicative unit (a simple sentence as part of a complex one) can function separately without loss of meaning: the gentle May sun shone affably and clearly, and each twig stretched towards it with its still young leaves.
It is easy to guess that parts of the proposal in NGN are in a different kind of relationship. The main sentence in it "controls" the subordinate clause. Depending on how this management takes place, there are the following types of subordinate clauses:
Types of subordinate clauses | Values | Questions | Unions, allied words | Sample offer |
definitive | Define a noun in the main sentence | Which one? | Who, what, where, where, where, where, which, what | I accidentally stumbled upon a letter (which one?), Which was written long before my birth. |
Explanatory | Relate to verbs | Case questions | What, so that, as if, etc. | I still do not understand (what exactly?) How this could happen. |
circumstantial | places | Point to action | Where? Where from? Where to? | Where, where, where | He went there (where?), Where the flowers bloom all year round. |
time | Indicate the time of action | When? How long? Since when? Until what time? | When, as soon as, since then, etc. | I understood this when (when?), When it was already too late. |
conditions | | Under what condition? | If, if ... then | I will help you solve the problem (under what condition?), If I have time. |
causes | Clarify the reason for the action | For what reason? Why? | Because, because, because, because | Petya could not answer the question (for what reason?), Because he was not ready for it. |
the goals | Indicate the purpose of the action. | For what? What for? For what purpose? | so that | To personally verify this, he personally came to the director (why?). |
| the consequences | Show us the result of an action | In consequence of what? | So that | She looked so chic, so that her eyes could not be torn off. |
way of action | | How? How? | Like, like, exactly, like, like | The boys rushed about (how?), As if a pack of hungry dogs were chasing them. |
measures and degrees | | In what degree? To what extent? To what extent? | How much how much what how | Everything happened so quickly (to what extent?) That no one had time to come to their senses. |
comparisons | | Like who? Like what? Than who? Than what? | Like, as if, than | This guy turned out to be much smarter (than who?) Than his peers. |
concessions | | Despite what? | Although, despite, for nothing that, no matter how much ... not even | It may not seem true, but I believe in it (no matter what?). |
In order to more accurately determine the types of subordinate clauses, it is enough to correctly ask a question from the main sentence (or the words in it) to the dependent clause.
