Russian language 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. They present only one character, i.e. a syntactic connection is established between one pair of subject and predicate. They can be two-part (there is both a subject and a predicate) and one-part (only one main member of the sentence).
2. Complex sentences. They, depending on the connection of the constituent parts, are divided into compound, compound and non-union. Generally speaking, these are sentences that consist of several simple ones, connected by conjunctions and logical connections.
Complex sentences seem to be the most difficult. 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 anywhere in the sentence.
Types of accessory parts
There are a lot of different variations of sentence construction. In this case, various techniques and methods are used. Among the main ones, the following types of subordinate parts of sentences can be distinguished.
Definative part
Answers the question "what?". It is formed with the help of the connecting words "that", "which", "whose", "when", "where", "what". Example:
My son is a smart and handsome guy (what?) who likes to walk on the roof.
Explanatory part
Use case questions. The subordination of subordinate clauses is carried out with the help of auxiliary words "what", "as", "as if", "to". Example:
Despite her temper and aggressiveness, she was looking forward to her parents forgiving her for this behavior.
Additional time
Questions "when?", "how long?", "until when?" and others. It is formed using the words "then", "as soon as", "since". Example:
All my troubles began as soon as I graduated from university and accepted an invitation from the strange and mysterious Mr. Wolfer Vaughn Dubershire.
Addendum
Subordinate relationship is formed using the words "where", "from where", "where" and appropriate questions. Example:
I really want to return to a village house, where no one will judge for shoes that are not polished to a perfect shine.
Additional causes. Basic words: "because", "because", "because" and others. Answers the questions "why?" and “why?”.
My brother no longer looked so worried and nervous, because his problems were solved by the appearance of a beautiful lady in blue overalls.
Types of subordination of subordinate clauses
Often, the types of subordinate clauses are considered depending on their connection in the sentence. So, you can highlight:
- sequential subordination: the subordinate clause is subordinate to the main one and is located immediately after it, and the subsequent ones are subordinate to the previous one;
- parallel subordination: all subordinate clauses are subordinate to the main clause, but to its different words;
- heterogeneous subordination: related to the same word, but have different types of clauses, i.e. answer various questions;
- homogeneous subordination: subordinate clauses obey the same word in the main clause;
- combined subordination: a collection of several types.
As we can see, the Russian language has a huge number of types of sentences and connections between them, which can cause difficulties not only in correctly compiling a phrase, but also in understanding it. This explains the difficulty of teaching foreigners all aspects of Russian speech.
