Find the classification and structure of 6 types of clauses

Subject clause. Structure: it is + name + clause, itis + adjective + clause, it iis + intransitive verb.

Clause, it + past participle.

Subordinate clause. The clause is in a compound sentence.

The sentence that acts as a subject component in is called a subject clause.

For example, "that he finished writing the composition in such a short time surprised us all", he finished writing the composition in a very short time and surprised us all, and this compound sentence mainly describes something that surprised us.

Something is the subject of the compound sentence, so "that he finished writing the composition in such a short time" is the subject clause of the compound sentence.

Subject clause structure: it is + name + clause, it is + adjective + clause, it is + intransitive verb + clause, it + past participle + clause.

Subject clause, i.e., a sentence that acts as a subject component in a compound sentence, eg"that he finished writing the composition in such a short time surprised us all", He finished writing the composition in a very short time Chi Tong surprised us, this compound sentence mainly describes something that surprised us, something is the subject of the compound sentence, so "that he finished writing the composition in such a short time" is the subject of the compound sentence Clause disturbance.

Types of clauses:

Subject clauses, predicative clauses, object clauses, copositional clauses, definite clauses, and adverbial clauses.

1. Subject clause.

A clause used as a subject is called a subject clause. The related words that guide the subject clause are subordinate conjunctions, interrogative pronouns, interrogative adverbs, condensed conjunctive pronouns, condensed conjunctive adverbs, etc.

2. Predicative clauses.

A clause used as a predicate is called a predicative clause. The related words of the leading predicative clause are many the same as those of the introductory subject clause.

3. Object clause.

A clause that acts as an object in a sentence is called an object clause. There are three categories of object clauses: object clauses of verbs, object clauses of prepositions, and object clauses of adjectives.

4. Homonymous clause.

The subordinate clause as an isont expresses the actual content of the noun (phrase) with the same position, and its function is equivalent to a noun, and it is equivalent to a predicative clause to supplement or further explain the previous noun (phrase), and the relationship between them is the isotopic relationship, that is, the main relation.

5. Determinative clauses.

It is a clause guided by a relative pronoun or a relative adverb, and its function is to make a definite to modify a certain noun component of the main clause, which is equivalent to an adjective, so it is also called an adjective clause, which is generally followed by the antecedent word it modifies.

6. Adverbial clause.

An adverbial clause refers to a sentence that acts as an adverb when the sentence is used as an adverbial. An adverbial clause can modify a predicate, a non-predicate verb, a definite, an adverbial, or an entire sentence.

Adverbial clauses can be divided into time, place, cause, condition, purpose, result, concession, way, and comparison clauses according to their role. Adverbial clauses are generally led by conjunctions (subordinate conjunctions) and can also be caused by phrases. Clauses are usually separated from the main clause by a comma when they are at the beginning or in the middle of a sentence, and can be separated without a comma when they are placed at the end of a sentence.

The concept of a clause:

A clause, or subordinate clause, is a clause that has a subordinate status in a compound sentence, and it is a grammatical structure that most languages have. In modern Chinese grammar, "clause" is not used as a technical term.

In modern English grammar, a clause refers to a non-subject clause part that cannot be formed independently in a compound sentence, but has a subject part and a predicate part, and is guided by connective words such as that, who, whom, when, why, where, how, whether, which, etc.

Nowadays, the word "clause" in Chinese education often refers to the clause structure of modern English, so only the clauses of modern English are listed below.

Noun clauses can be called subject clauses, object clauses, predicative clauses, and copositional clauses.

The basic structure of the subject clause is: introductory word + clause + predicate + object + other. Basic structure of an object clause:

Subject + transitive verb + introductory word + subordinate clause (subject + predicate) + preposition + introductory word + subordinate clause Subject + conjunctive verb + adjective loose and destructive + introductory word + clause. The basic structure of a predicative clause is subject + verb + introductory word + clause. An equintal clause refers to a ticket that states the specific content of the noun that precedes it.

Homonymous clauses are generally followed by certain nouns that denote abstract concepts.

Conjunctions: Conjunctions that guide noun clauses can be divided into three categories:

Conjunctions (5): that (meaningless in itself.) That can often be omitted when guiding a single object clause, but that is usually not omitted when guiding a subject clause, a predicative clause, or an aptopic clause) whether, if (both indicate "whether" indicates the uncertainty of the content of the clause) as if , as though (both indicate "as if", "as if").

None of the above acts as any component in the clause.

Conjunctive pronouns (9): what whatever, who whoever, whom whomever, whose, which whichever

Conjunctive adverbs (8): when whenever, where wherever, how however, why, because.

Non-omittable conjunctions:

1.Conjunctions after prepositions.

2.The conjunctions of the leading subject clause and the copositional clause cannot be omitted. that she was chosen made us very heard the news that our team had won.

3.Make conjunctions of components in clauses.

When it comes to the five structures of the subject clause, we can further explain in detail their characteristics and how they are used:

1.Declarative Sentence Structure:

The subject clause of this structure comes in the form of a declarative sentence using a declarative word order, i.e., the subject is at the beginning of the sentence and the predicate verb is in the middle or end of the sentence. For example: megaplexes.

what you said is true.(What you say is true.) ）

2.Interrogative sentence structure:

The subject clause of this family structure appears in the form of an interrogative sentence, using the interrogative word order, i.e., the verb is adjusted before the subject. For example:

who will be the winner is still uncertain.(Who will be the winner is uncertain.) ）

how they achieved such success remains a mystery.(How they managed to achieve such success remains a mystery.) ）

3.Select the question sentence to understand the rental structure:

The subject clause of this structure also comes in the form of an interrogative sentence but with a chosen keyword (e.g., whether, if) indicating that there are two or more options in the subject clause. For example:

whether he will come or not is still unknown.(It's uncertain whether he'll come.) ）

if she can make it on time is still uncertain.(It's uncertain if she'll be there on time.) ）

4.Nested interrogative sentence structure:

The subject clause of this structure contains a nested interrogative sentence that asks more specific information. For example:

i don't know what he wants.(I don't know what he wants.) ）

can you tell me where they went?(Can you tell me they went**?) ）

5.Infinitive structure:

The subject clause of this structure appears in the form of an infinitive, usually in the form of"it + be + infinitive"form. For example:

it is important to study hard.(It's important to study hard.) ）

it is necessary to complete the project on time.(It is necessary to complete the project on time.) ）

The structure of these subject clauses can be flexibly used according to the needs of the sentence, so that the subject clause can play an accurate subject role in the sentence, so as to enrich the expression and grammatical structure of the sentence.
