Compound sentence （并列句） 4, 7
Compound sentence （并列句） 3, 5, 6, 8, 9
Compound-complex sentence 10
Tips
复合句分为并列复合句compound sentence（也称并列句）和主从或从属复合句complex sentence（也称复杂句），并列复合句compound sentence是有并列连词：and、or、but连接；从属复合句complex sentence由一个主句（Principal Clause）和一个或一个以上的从句(Subordinate Clause)构成。用疑问词作引导词，主句是全句的主体，通常可以独立存在；从句则是一个句子成分，不能独立存在。从句不能单独成句，但它也有主语部分和谓语部分，就像一个句子一样。所不同在于，从句须由一个关联词（conjunction）引导。 根据引导从句功能不同，大致可分为：主语从句、表语从句、宾语从句、定语从句、状语从句等。
