I walked with my shadow along the dewy, iridescent grass of the meadow, entered the motley twilight of the alley leading to the pond, and the moon obediently followed me. I walked, looking around - she, shining like a mirror and splitting, rolled through the black and in places brightly shining pattern of branches and leaves. I stood on a dewy slope towards a full-flowing pond, shining widely with its golden surface near the dam to the right. I stood and looked - and the moon stood and looked. Near the shore, under me, there was a shaky, dark-mirror abyss of the underwater sky, on which they hung, slept lightly, hiding their heads under their wings and deeply reflected in it, ducks ... What silence - only something living can be silent like that! .. (I. Bunin.)

§ 46. The concept of a complex sentence. The main types of complex sentences

A complex sentence is a sentence that has at least two grammatical bases (at least two simple sentences) and represents a semantic and grammatical unity, formalized intonation. For example: In front of us, the brown, clayey shore sloped steeply, and behind us a wide grove darkened.


Simple sentences as part of a complex one do not have intonation-semantic completeness and are called predicative parts of a complex sentence.
Depending on the method of connecting simple sentences as part of a complex one, all complex sentences are divided into two main types: non-union (connection is carried out only with the help of intonation) and allied (connection is carried out not only with the help of intonation, but also with the help of special means of communication: unions and allied words - relative pronouns and adverbs).
Allied sentences are divided into compound and compound sentences.
simple sentences are connected by coordinating conjunctions and, but, or, then ... then and others. Parts of a compound sentence are, as a rule, equal in meaning.
In complex sentences, simple sentences are connected by subordinating conjunctions. what, to, how, if, since, although etc. and allied words which, whose, where, where etc., which express various meanings of dependence: cause, effect, purpose, condition, etc. A simple sentence that subordinates another simple sentence is called the main one, and a subordinate, dependent sentence is called a subordinate clause.
In the schemes of non-union and compound sentences, simple sentences are indicated by square brackets, the main sentence as part of a complex sentence is also indicated, while subordinate clauses are enclosed in parentheses. The diagrams indicate the means of communication and punctuation marks. For example:
1) Seagulls circled over the lake, two or three launches could be seen in the distance.
, .
2) The driver slammed the door and the car sped off.
, and .
3) I knew that in the morning my mother would go to the field to harvest rye.
, (what...).
A special group of complex sentences are sentences with different types of connection. For example: Painting is poetry seen and poetry is painting heard(Leonardo da Vinci). This is a complex sentence with composition and submission. The scheme of this sentence:, (which ...), but, (which ...).

Ex. 50. Read, find simple and complex sentences. Indicate the grammatical bases in them. Determine the type of each complex sentence and tell how the simple ones are connected in it. Draw the schemes of the 1st and 3rd sentences.

1. It was April, we lived in Yalta, idled after nine months of desperate bashing in the winter ocean. 2. We lived in a hotel on the embankment, and at night the sea roared over our windows, sometimes splashing over the parapet. 3. I kept thinking that a man was building a house, he wanted to live quietly, drink tea, look at the sea, generally somehow be on his own, write something there, think. 4. Why we were bored, we did not know. 5. Zabavin looked around and after three or four seconds he saw the high white star of the lighthouse, surrounded by radiance, flashed for a moment with a bright light in the night and went out again. 6. Then the star flared up again and went out, and this was repeated all the time, and it was strange and pleasant to see this momentary mute light. 7. Sometimes skiers came across a fox trail, which, in an even and at the same time, winding line, stretched from past to past, from bump to bump. 8. Then the track turned and disappeared in a snowy glow. 9. The skiers went on, and they already came across hare or squirrel tracks in aspen and birch groves. 10. The windows were cold and transparent, but the benches with stoves exuded dry heat, and it was good to look at the sunny snow outside the windows and listen to the quick soft tapping of the wheels below.

Compound sentence

Theoretical information and language analysis

§ 48. Compound sentence and its grammatical features

Compound sentences are complex sentences in which simple sentences are equal in meaning and connected by coordinating conjunctions. The parts of a compound sentence do not depend on each other and form one semantic whole.


Depending on the type of the coordinating union that connects the parts of the sentence, all compound sentences (CSP) are divided into three main categories:
a) SSP with connecting unions (and; Yes in meaning and; no no;too;also;not only but;like...and);
b) SSP with dividing unions (then...then;not that... not that;or;or;either...or);
in) SSP with opposing alliances (ah but yes in meaning but, however, but, but, only, but).
The semantic connection of simple sentences combined into a complex one is different. They can send:
- things happening at the same time And far to the south there was a battle, and in the north the earth trembled from bombing attacks, clearly approaching at night.(in such sentences, changing the sequence of parts of the sentence does not change the meaning);
- phenomena that occur sequentially: Dunya got into the wagon next to the hussar, the servant jumped on the pole, the driver whistled, and the horses galloped(in this case, the permutation of sentences is not possible).
In compound sentences with connecting unions can be expressed:
- temporary relationship: Morning came, and our ship approached Astrakhan(compare: When morning came, our ship approached Astrakhan);
- causal relationship: Several dugouts, which were blocked especially powerfully, remained completely intact, and the people, who were chilled, exhausted by the battle, falling down from fatigue and the desire to sleep, rushed there with all their might to warm themselves.;
- action and its result: Pugachev gave a sign, and they immediately released me and left me.

Note. Unions too and also introduce the meaning of assimilation into the sentence. For example: And now I lived with my grandmother, she also told me stories before going to bed. Unions too and also always stand inside the second part of a compound sentence. Union too, usually used in colloquial speech, conjunction also- in the bookstore.

The union also has a colloquial character. Yes in meaning and: It was useless to hide the truth, and Serpilin did not consider himself entitled to do so.
In compound sentences with dividing unions indicates such phenomena that cannot occur simultaneously: they either alternate, or one excludes the other. For example: In the sweltering air one could hear the clatter of pickaxes on stone, then the wheels of wheelbarrows sang mournfully.;On Peresyp, something was burning, or the moon was rising;Only sometimes a birch will flash by or a spruce will stand in front of you like a gloomy shadow.
In compound sentences with opposing alliances one phenomenon is opposed to another: The storm was there, behind them, above the forest, and here the sun was shining.
With the help of the union but the reservation to what was said earlier is transferred. For example: She could hardly force herself to smile and hide her triumph, but she soon managed to assume a completely indifferent and even stern air.
Unions but, but indicate the compensation of what was said in the first sentence: The moose left, but nearby there was a sound made by some living and probably weak creature;He has a lot of work to do, but in the winter he will rest.
Particles are used in the meaning of adversative conjunctions same, only. For example: The head still hurt, but the consciousness was clear, distinct;The war did not cancel anything, only all feelings became sharper in the war.
A compound sentence should be distinguished from a simple sentence with homogeneous members connected by coordinating conjunctions.

WORKSHOP ON PUNCTUATION

§ 50. Punctuation marks in a compound sentence

In a compound sentence, a comma is placed between the predicative parts: Here a slight whistle rang out, and Dubrovsky fell silent.;Oleg chuckled, but his brow and eyes clouded with thought(Pushkin).


The comma is not put:
- if simple sentences that are part of a compound sentence and connected by a union have and , a common minor term: Soon after sunrise, a cloud came up and a short rain splashed.(Pushkin);
- if the union and combines two denominative sentences: Frost and sun...(Pushkin).
If the second predicative part contains an unexpected addition or a sharp contrast, then a dash is placed before it. For example: He will give a sign - and everyone laughs; More pressure - and the enemy runs(Pushkin).

Ex. 55. Explain the punctuation marks in the following compound sentences. Highlight the unions that connect the parts of the sentences.

1. The plane was gaining altitude, and a large city with squares and rectangles of quarters was rapidly decreasing before our eyes (Azhanov). 2. He appeared at our construction site only six months ago, and we immediately became friends (Chakovsky). 3. The hot sun longingly looked for the wind, but there was no wind (Turgenev). 4. Either I did not understand myself, then the world did not understand me (Lermontov). 5. Warm summer rain fell all night, and by morning the air was fresh, it smelled strongly of lilacs, and I wanted to run out into the garden as soon as possible (Nagibin). 6. He never cried, but at times a wild stubbornness came over him (Turgenev).

Ex. 56. Indicate in which cases the union and used in compound sentences, and in some - in sentences with homogeneous members. Put the appropriate punctuation marks.

1. Mountains stretched on the right side of these meadows and the Dnieper (Gogol) was burning and darkening in a slightly noticeable distance. 2. It became dark and the street gradually became empty (Chekhov). 3. We walked towards the sea and soon found ourselves on a rocky ledge hanging over the abyss (Nagibin). 4. Cranes fly away and low autumn clouds cover the sky (Soloukhin). 5. The summer was dry and hot, and the glaciers in the mountains began to melt already in the first days of June (Babel).

Ex. 57. Put the necessary punctuation marks.

1. By evening it got colder and the puddles were covered with thin ice. 2. In early April, starlings were already making noise and yellow butterflies were flying in the garden (Chekhov). 3. Dark rain clouds were moving in from the east and moisture was sipping from there. 4. Sunrise rose and fell again and the horse was tired of galloping in the steppes (Svetlov). 5. Clouds float in the blue sky and migratory birds rush by (Prishvin). 6. Soon the whole garden, warmed by the sun, caressed, came to life and dew drops like diamonds sparkled on the leaves, and the old long-running garden this morning seemed so young and smart (Chekhov). 7. The swallows disappeared, and yesterday at dawn all the rooks were flying, and like a net they flickered over that mountain (Fet).

Ex. 58. Write off with the missing punctuation marks. Highlight the grammatical bases in compound sentences.

1. The memory of the past of Russia is kept not only by the manuscripts of ancient authors, ancient burial mounds and settlements, but also by old geographical names hide some historical facts. 2. KamAZ is known as a supplier of heavy dump trucks and this fact allows it to actively use its trademark. 3. The Trinity-Sergius Lavra was founded in the 14th century and the monks still maintain the tradition of hospitality. 4. A strong cyclone hit Sakhalin, but communication with the mainland was not interrupted.

Difficult sentence- this is a sentence that has in its composition at least two grammatical bases (at least two simple sentences) and represents a semantic and grammatical unity, formalized intonation. For example: In front of us, the brown, clayey shore sloped steeply, and behind us a wide grove darkened.
Simple sentences as part of a complex one do not have intonation-semantic completeness and are called predicative parts of a complex sentence.
Depending on the method of linking simple sentences as part of a complex one, all complex sentences are divided into two main types: unionless(the connection is made only with the help of intonation) and allied(communication is carried out not only with the help of intonation, but also with the help of special means of communication: unions and allied words - relative pronouns and adverbs).
Allied proposals are divided into compound and complex subordinate.
AT compound sentences simple sentences are connected by coordinating conjunctions and, but, or, then ... then and others. Parts of a compound sentence are, as a rule, equal in meaning.
AT complex sentences simple sentences are connected by subordinating conjunctions what, to, how, if, since, although etc. and allied words which, whose, where, where etc., which express various meanings of dependence: cause, effect, purpose, condition, etc. A simple sentence that subordinates another simple sentence is called the main one, and a subordinate, dependent sentence is called a subordinate clause.
In the schemes of non-union and compound sentences, simple sentences are indicated by square brackets, the main sentence as part of a complex sentence is also indicated, while subordinate clauses are enclosed in parentheses. The diagrams indicate the means of communication and punctuation marks. For example:
1) Seagulls circled over the lake, two or three launches could be seen in the distance.
, .
2) The driver slammed the door and the car sped off.
, and .
3) I knew that in the morning my mother would go to the field to harvest rye.
, (what...).
A special group of complex sentences are sentences with different types of communication. For example: Painting is poetry seen and poetry is painting heard(Leonardo da Vinci). This is a complex sentence with composition and submission. The scheme of this sentence:, (which ...), but, (which ...).

Ex. fifty. Read, find simple and complex sentences. Indicate the grammatical bases in them. Determine the type of each complex sentence and tell how the simple ones are connected in it. Draw the schemes of the 1st and 3rd sentences.

Sometimes skiers came across a fox trail, which, in an even and at the same time, winding line, stretched from past to past, from bump to bump. 8. Then the track turned and disappeared in a snowy glow. 9. The skiers went on, and they already came across hare or squirrel tracks in aspen and birch groves. 10. The windows were cold and transparent, but the benches with stoves exuded dry heat, and it was good to look at the sunny snow outside the windows and listen to the quick soft tapping of the wheels below.

It is usually not difficult to determine which member of the sentence is the union word. The union word can act as a subject, predicate, inconsistent definition, circumstance and addition. To determine the syntactic function of the allied word which, you need to find out which word of the main clause it replaces, substitute it for the allied word and determine which member of the subordinate clause it is. For example: The village, which is located on the banks of the river, is very beautiful. In this sentence, the allied word that refers to the noun village.
