简单句、并列句和主从复合句
1 简单句(simple sentence):只含有一个主谓结构。如:

2 并列句(compound sentence):由并列连词连接的两个或两个以上的简单句构成。常见的连接词有 and、but、or、so、for 等。如:

Shall I send the book to you, or will you come to get it?
They have different ideas, so they have solved the problem in different ways.

3 主从复合句(complex sentence):由一个主句和一个或一个以上的从句构成。主句为句子的主体部分;从句无法独立,可充当句子的主语、表语、宾语、定语、状语等。如:
I hope that high school will be more exciting. (that 引导宾语从句)
As I grew older,I became more interested in poems. (as 引导状语从句)
由关系代词引导的限定性定语从句
1 限制性定语从句(restrictive relative clause)指修饰名词、代词或名词短语的从句,对所修饰的对象加以限制,表示“……的(人)”或“……的(物)”。从句不可去掉,一旦去掉主句的意思则不完整。被修饰的名词、代词或名词短语称为先行项或先行词(antecedent)。如:
Do you know the man who is waiting outside?
He showed me the photos which he took on his trip to Xi’an.
2 定语从句可由关系代词(relative pronouns)that、which、who、whom、whose 引导。如:
The trees which are behind the office building have lost their leaves.
Simon is the poor man whose car has been stolen.
3 关系代词在定语从句中通常作主语或宾语,作宾语时常可以省略。如:
The boy who is running on the playground is the best runner in our school. (who作主语,不可省略)
The subject (which) I like best is English. (which 作宾语,可省略)
4 关系代词 who、whom、which、that、whose 的主要用法如下:
(1) who 引导的定语从句修饰人,who 在从句中作主语或宾语;whom 引导的定语从句修饰人,whom 在从句中作宾语;who 和 whom 都可以由 that 代替。如:
They are looking for people who/that want to join the Reading Club.
The girl (who/whom/that) you saw in the park is my cousin.
(2) which 引导的定语从句修饰物,which 在从句中作主语或宾语,可以由 that 代替。如:
This is the book (which/that) I want to read.
(3) whose 引导的定语从句,既可修饰人,也可修饰物,whose 在从句中作定语。如:
I sat next to a girl whose name is Diana.
The club whose members are music fans meet in the school garden every Saturday.
5 关系代词也可以用作介词的宾语。在正式场合,介词可以置于关系代词前,这种情况下关系代词不可省略,也不可以用 that 代替。如:
Is this the magazine (which/that) you were talking about just now?
= Is this the magazine about which you were talking just now?
但是要注意的是,固定短语中的介词不能前置到关系代词前。如:
You are the very person (whom/that) we are looking for.
6 当先行项是 way 并且定语从句要表示“以……的方式”时,定语从句常用 that 或 in which 引导,that 或 in which 也可以省略。如:
I like the way (that/in which) she smiles.
由关系副词引导的限定性定语从句
1 定语从句也可以由关系副词(relative adverbs)when、where、why 引导,关系副词在定语从句中作状语。如:
He enjoyed the four years when he studied in Suzhou.
That’s the cinema where we often go and see films.
2 关系副词 when 引导的定语从句修饰 time、moment、day、month、year、period 等表示时间的先行项。如:
I often think of the moment when I first saw her.
I still remember the day when I entered junior high school.
3 关系副词 where 引导的定语从句修饰 place、house、city、country、world 等表示地点的先行项。如:
Is Shanghai the city where he was born?
Mike wants to work in a country where there are a lot of forests.
4 关系副词 why 引导的定语从句修饰 reason 等表示原因的先行项。如:
Do you know the reason why the sky is blue?
5 在正式场合,关系副词 when、where、why 可以用“介词 + which”代替。如:
He will always remember the day when/on which he left his hometown.
The study is the place where/in which I often have talks with my father.
Is that the reason why/for which you decided to learn the piano?
主谓一致是指句子主语和谓语在“人称”和“数”方面保持一致。

(1) 集体名词(collective noun)作主语,谓语动词的单复数要视集体名词表达的概念而定。集体名词是表示“一群人”或“一些事物”的名词,如 family、team、group 等。集体名词表示一个整体时,谓语动词用单数形式;表示组成集体的成员时,谓语动词常用复数形式。如:
My family is a happy one.
My family love music.
(2) and 连接两个名词作主语,谓语动词的单复数视具体情况而定。由 and 连接的并列结构作主语时,谓语动词通常用复数形式。如:

如果 and 连接的结构表示一个人或物,则谓语动词用单数形式。如:
The speaker and writer is a former graduate of our school.
Bread and butter is my usual breakfast.
如果 and 连接两个“every/each + 名词”的结构时,谓语动词常用单数形式。如:
Every boy and every girl in our class has made great progress.
(3) 由 or、not only ... but also ... 等连接的并列名词作主语时,谓语动词的单复数形式取决于靠近谓语动词的名词,即就近原则。there be 结构中,be 动词的单复数形式也遵循就近原则。如:
Paul or his classmates are to write a report.
There is a dictionary, two notebooks and a pen on the desk.
(4) 主语后跟有 with、together with、as well as、along with、except、in addition to等引导的短语时,谓语动词与前面的主语保持“数”的一致。如:
Bill, together with his friends, was present at the lecture.
No one except two boys was hurt.
(5) 如果主语中的名词或代词由分数、百分数或 all of、some of、most of 等短语限定,谓语动词的单复数形式取决于名词的类别。如:
Two thirds of the students are interested in films.
Most of the money has been collected.
(6) 如果主语由“...kind(s)/sort(s)/type(s) of + 名词”构成,谓语动词常与 kind、sort 或 type 保持“数”的一致。如:

These types of car are sold to other countries.

复杂句分析
1 简单句
含有一个主谓结构的句子称为简单句。有时,简单句包含很多修饰语,这使句子变得很长。要准确理解句子,需要厘清句子的结构,找到主语和谓语。如:
Mary, normally a shy girl, talked excitedly about her trip to China during the holidays.
2 并列句
并列句是指由并列连词连接的两个或更多的分句构成的句子,常见的并列连词有 and、or、but 等。要准确理解并列句,需要找到并列连词,弄清楚各分句之间的关系。如:
Learning a foreign language can help you understand a foreign culture, and understanding a foreign culture can help you better communicate with people from a different background.
The Internet is considered by many to be a source of information, and it is also thought of as a means of entertainment, but some people regard it as a monster.
3 主从复合句
主从复合句是指含有从句的复合句。要准确理解主从复合句,需要分析句子结构,找到主句和从句,并识别从句的种类。如:
Unless you let me know you’re not coming, I'll see you at the cinema.
I still remember one afternoon two years ago, when we met for the first time at the school gate.
This means that what you do is more important than what you say.
4 并列主从复合句
有些句子既包括并列分句,又含有从句,我们称之为并列主从复合句。要准确理解这种复杂的句子,需要分析句子结构,弄清楚各分句以及主从句之间的逻辑关系。如:
I am interested in robots and I believe we can invent better robots forthe benefit of people, so long as we continue to make efforts.
