3) Study Active Reading. Then look at the underlined sentences (1 – 3) in the text and separate the clauses out in the same way.
ACTIVE READING | Understanding complex and compound sentences
Long sentences often include a mixture of dependent and independent clauses, e.g.
She even did a 24-hour fund-raising activity,
bringing in $26,593, which allowed her to open Sister Pie in April, 2015.
A clause which makes sense on its own is known as an independent clause, e.g.
She even did a 24-hour fund-raising
‘danceathon’ which allowed her to open Sister Pie in April, 2015.
• A clause which doesn’t make sense on its own is known as a dependent clause, e.g.
… , bringing in $26,593
Breaking the sentence down into its separate elements can help you understand the meaning better.
A complex sentence contains an independent clause and at least one dependent clause, while a compound sentence consists of two or more independent clauses joined by a conjunction.
تحتوي الجملة المعقدة على جملة مستقلة وجملة تابعة واحدة على الأقل، بينما تتكون الجملة المركبة من جملتين مستقلتين أو أكثر يجمعها حرف عطف.
Complex sentences that contain both dependent and independent clauses. Independent clauses can stand alone as complete thoughts, while dependent clauses cannot. Analyzing these elements separately enhances comprehension of the overall sentence meaning.
العبارات السفلة والعبارات التابعة. يمكن أن تكون العبارات المستقلة بمفردها منطقية كافكار كاملة في حين لا يمكن للعبارات التالبعة أن تفعل ذلك، تليل هذه العناصر بشكل منفصل يعزز من فهم المعنى العام للجملة.
