A ceding sentence: examples

In complex sentences besides the mainthe subordinate is necessarily present. This second dependent part can play different roles. For example, there is a subordinate concessionary. The features of such proposals will be discussed in this article.

Complex sentences with subordinate assignments

The Russian language is multifold and expressive. To enhance or accentuate the description of certain events or phenomena, a complex sentence with a subordinate concessionary is often used. Usually it contains an indication of a certain condition that might hinder the execution of anything described in the main part, but in spite of this, the action is completed, accomplished or can occur. That is, the subordinate concessive is a speech construct containing a non-triggered reason that could interfere with the action, but did not affect it. You should also know that it is part of a complex sentence, and always acts as an addict. For example: "Despite the fact that many countries have developed a social program to help the poor, beggars continue to beg for alms in the transitions." The main part - "poor children continue to beg in the crossings." The concession is contained in the proposal "despite the fact that many countries have developed a social assistance program for the indigent." This part is dependent, since separately without the main can not exist - the thought is not finished and requires disclosure.

If you turn both parts of the compoundsentences into simple equivalent units of speech, we get the following: "In many states, a social program for helping the poor has been developed. Beggar children continue to beg in the crossings. " In principle, the meaning of the statement is preserved, but both proposals are contradictory, which creates some difficulty in understanding the main idea of ​​the author's statement. It is for the most successful understanding of the meaning, for greater expressiveness and the creation of a vivid image in speech, complex sentences with subordinate concessions are used. Thanks to such constructions, the main idea of ​​the statement becomes more emotional and colorful.

Questions to which the subordinate concession is responsible

In the process of syntactic analysis of complex sentences, it is necessary to determine the relationship between its parts. Therefore, it is very important to remember that subordinate clauses give answers to questions Contrary to what? no matter what? Despite what? and some others. For example: "Contrary to popular belief about the bloodthirstiness of tigers, practice proves otherwise: these animals are capable of being sweet, affectionate and obedient, like domestic cats."

Consider the relationship: "Practice proves otherwise (contrary to what?) In spite of the popular opinion about the bloodthirstiness of tigers." There is a subordinate concessionary. In the sentence, it stands in front of the main part, separated by a comma. You should also know that the subordinate concessionary applies to everything important. With dependent proposals of a different kind, the situation is different. For example, the places and time are only for the predicate main part, and the attributive places for the noun, pronoun or word for the other part of the speech that performs the function of the noun.

Unions for the connection of parts in constructions of the type considered

The subordinate concedes to the main concord with the help of the following unions: despite the fact that, despite of, despite the fact that, despite the fact that, for nothing, let it be, though, though. Such a construction is often encountered in speech. Will help to consider the proposal of the subordinate conclusive examples:

1. Granted that she was beautiful and clever, nobody married a girl.

2. Let it rain in the street, children do not stay locked up in the streets!

3. I'll fire you, regardless of who the headmaster of the school is your spouse!

4. Despite the rapidly deteriorating eyesight, Valentin did not stop his experiments.

5. Although the spring was already in full swing, our chicken did not want to sit on eggs in any way.

6. Though the wind knocks down the feet, let the snow fall asleep, it's still necessary to go to work.

The appearance in the design of yet another union of "buts"

Sometimes in the main sentence in addition to alreadyThe existing word "but" appears in the subordinate concessionary word. The design can exist in both cases. However, if you have a "but" put punctuation marks is easier, because everyone knows that before this union there is always a comma. For comparison, you can give examples that are similar to those used above: "Though the wind knocks down the feet, let the snow fall asleep, but it's still necessary to go to work" or "Let it rain in the street, but the kids are not locked up in the streets".

For a self-test,based on the above-described method of building complex sentences with subordinate concessions. It says: if in the main part you can substitute the "but" union without losing the sense, then you need to put a comma before this union. To define this construction follows as a complex subordinate clause with an additional clause.

We should dwell in more detail on the spelling of the unions "in spite of" and "despite", and also list complex unions, which include these words.

Split and split spelling

If the proposal with subordinate assigneeincludes the words "regardless" and "despite", it is necessary to know that they, the name of the gerundive form, are written with the particle "not" in one. For comparison: "Tanya was washing dishes, not looking in the direction of Valentine." "Not looking" in this case is a member of the sentence (circumstance), therefore it is spelled separately. "Despite the poor state of health, Tanya washed the dishes." Here the word "despite" is not a member of the proposal, but serves to attach an additional clause, so it is written together.

To help those who study Russian anddoubts the spelling, it is possible to offer such a clue: if the words "regardless" or "in spite of" have a preposition "on", then this is an alliance, and it should be written together with "not", but in the absence of such a use of the gerund, which is necessary to use separately with "not".

Punctuation marks

The construction of unions is often used "despiteon "and" in spite of ", in order to attach the subordinate concessionary to the main part. Examples: "Despite progress, there are still such corners on the planet where the standard of living of the population is horribly low". In such constructions, the union "regardless of" or "in spite of" is a part of the subordinate part. It should be remembered that the dependent offer is separated from the main comma.

Signs in the unions "despite the fact that" and "no matter what"

Often an extended union design is used. Then a comma is required. Usually this happens in cases where the main sentence with the help of "despite the fact that" or "despite the fact that" is attached subordinate concessions. The unions are separated by commas, which are put before the word "what". For example: "Despite the fact that the couple lived together for more than half a century, they managed to preserve the tenderness and mutual understanding."

Attaching a subordinate concession to allied words

Along with the above alliances, there isAnother way to join the dependent part of the proposal. To attach, union words are often used in combination with the particle "neither", for example: no matter what, no matter how much. Usually in this role are interrogative and relative pronouns and adverbs.

By the way, the presence of an amplifying particle "neither" yettime emphasizes the accentuating role of the subordinate concession, as was stated at the beginning of the article. When writing these union words with particles, one should not confuse "neither" nor "not." Examples: "No matter how much Tatiana cried on winter evenings, Eugene's attitude towards her did not change for the better." We see a complex sentence with an additional clause, which is joined by the union word "how much" with the amplifying particle "ni". "Tatyana did not cry more, and her attitude toward her began to change for the better." This is a compound sentence, the particle "not" with the verb is used for negation.

Differences between subordinate assignments and separate circumstances of assignment

Sometimes you can come up with constructions of sentences,extremely similar to each other in meaning. However, when parsing, they should be distinguished. These are complex sentences, which include dependent concessive subordinate clauses, and simple ones, where the concession is expressed by means of separate circumstances. The difficulty of distinguishing these constructions lies in the fact that the dependent part of the complex sentence and the isolated member answer the same question. In order for this idea to become more understandable, it is necessary to turn to examples.

1. “Despite the fact that all the members of the expedition laughed and joked, the feeling of anxiety did not leave Alexey ...” The difficult sentence with an additional concessive “despite the fact that everyone was laughing and joking”, to which you can ask the following question: “Despite what?” As evidence, we single out the main parts of the sentence in this dependent part: “expedition members” - subject, “joking” and “laughing” - homogeneous predicates.

2 "Despite the laughter and jokes of all members of the expedition, the feeling of anxiety did not leave Alexey ...". A simple sentence with the subject "anxiety" and the predicate "did not leave." The concession is present in an isolated circumstance “despite the laughter and jokes of all members of the expedition,” which, like the subordinate, answers the question “despite what?”

In order to avoid mistakes when writingtexts should be remembered: subordinate assignment is separated by commas; parts of the unions "despite" and "regardless of" are written together; with allied words, an “ni” amplifying particle is used.
