§one. Types of subordination in NGN with several subordinate clauses
There can be more than one subordinate clause in NGN. In this case, it is important to understand how all parts of a complex sentence are interconnected, what is subordinate to what. Three types are possible:
1) sequential submission,
2) parallel subordination,
3) homogeneous subordination.
Sequential submission
With consistent subordination, a chain of sentences is formed: the first clause is subject to the main clause, the second clause is subordinate to the first clause, and so on. With this type of subordination, each subordinate clause is the main one for the subsequent subordinate clause.
I'm afraid that Anna will be late for the exam, which should start early in the morning.
Scheme: [ ... ], (conjunction what...), (connection word which the…).
With sequential subordination, the subordinate clause related to the main one is called the subordinate clause of the first degree, and the following clause is called the subordinate clause of the second degree, etc.
Parallel subordination
If subordinate clauses of different types belong to one main clause, then a parallel subordination is formed. With this type of subordination, both subordinate clauses belong to the same main one. It is important that these clauses are of different types and they answer different questions.
When the teacher came in, the children stood up to greet her.
Scheme: (union word when...), [ ... ], (conjunction to …).
Homogeneous submission
If subordinate clauses are sentences of the same type and refer to the same member of the main clause or to the main clause as a whole, then a homogeneous subordination is formed. With homogeneous subordination, the subordinate clauses answer the same question.
I suddenly felt how the tension subsided and how easy it became in my soul.
Scheme: [ ... ], (conjunction how...) and (conjunction how …).
Subordinate explanatory sentences are similar to homogeneous members of the sentence, they are interconnected by the union And. Both subordinate clauses refer to the member of the sentence in the main clause. There is no comma between them.
It is important that with homogeneous subordination, unions or allied words can be omitted, which is typical for sentences with several subordinate clauses.

Polynomial complex sentences (SPS) are divided into two types. The first type includes NGN, in which all subordinate clauses belong to the main clause. Depending on the value subordinate clauses and their relationship to the main, share homogeneous suggestions and heterogeneous.
Homogeneous and heterogeneous
Homogeneous are called subordinate clauses relating to the same member of the main clause, or to the main clause as a whole. They are connected to each other by writing or unionless bond and are called subordinate subordinates.
Examples: I saw how she was leaving, and how long he looked after her.
Until recently, we recalled that we were very friendly with him and that at every opportunity we tried to see each other.
Inhomogeneous are called subordinate clauses related to different types by meaning, as well as subordinate clauses of the same type, but related to different members of the main clause.
Examples: When he came up, I asked where to go next.
He explained that we would have to leave as soon as possible and added that he would give us some food for the journey.
The second type is formed by NGN, in which the subordinate clauses form a logical chain, that is, the first refers to the main one, the second to the first, the third to the second, etc. Such subordination is called sequential, and subordinate clauses - respectively, subordinate clauses of the first degree, subordinate clauses of the second degree, etc.
Example: I thought it was time to move already, to be where we were supposed to meet in the evening.
Also, complex sentences with several subordinate clauses can combine both types.
For example: Yesterday he said that people were leaving their homes, and that soon there would be no one to grow wheat, and that no one knew what to do.
We were told that we would have to be there when the guests arrived to open the door and take on our coats.
In the first example, the first three clauses refer to the main clause, and the last clause (what to do) refers to the clause "what no one knows". In the second, the first clause is a clause of the first degree (the second type of SPP), and the remaining three clauses are not only clauses of the second degree, but also heterogeneous (the first type of SPP).
Also, polynomial complex sentences include those in which one subordinate clause is given question from two or more main sentences. In this case, the main sentences are interconnected by a non-union or coordinative connection.
Example: He was clearly in pain, he was choking, and his heart was beating wildly when the ambulance finally arrived.
Only in the third quarter, ninth-graders get acquainted with the topic “Types of subordination of subordinate parts in a complex sentence”, but they are preparing for the exam from the beginning of the school year.
Let's try to deal with task 13 in the test part of the OGE. For observation, let us turn to the story of A.P. Chekhov "Dear Lessons"
Recall the wording of this task: “Among the sentences ___ find a complex sentence cuniform submission. Write the number of this proposal. Instead of words in bold style, there may be such words: " with heterogeneous (parallel) subordination" or " with sequential submission».
Decide on symbols, which will help us in the analysis of the structure complex sentence(abbreviated SPP). To highlight the main part, we use square brackets, for the subordinate clause - round brackets (). We will draw up both linear and vertical supply schemes.
First, let's practice drawing up NGN diagrams with one subordinate part. Please note that the position of the subordinate clause can be different: preposition, interposition and postposition. Prefixes in the word "position" already contain an indication of the place of the subordinate clause in the sentence.
Consider examples.
1. Preposition adverbial adverbial goal: (To breathe easier) 1, [he always works in a nightgown] 2.
2. Interposition of adverbial adverbial time: [The next day in the evening, (when the clock showed five minutes to seven) 2, Alisa Osipovna came] 1.
3. Postposition of the adverbial adverbial tense: [Vorotov felt this strongly] 1, (when, having left the university with a candidate's degree, he took up a small scientific work) 2.
In the first example, we found the clause at the beginning of the sentence, in the second - in the middle, in the third - at the end of the SPP.
Let us clarify that complex sentences in the text can have various complications, and if you do not recognize them, you can get confused, so we will explain these complications in each example. So, in the third sentence, the subordinate clause is complicated by a separate circumstance, expressed participle turnover(abbreviated to).
Determine if there is next three examples of any type of complications. What is the position of the adjective in them?
2) Her facial expression was cold, businesslike, like that of a person who came to talk about money.
3) If this strange proposal had been made by a minor, then, probably, she would have been angry and shouted.
You should have noticed that in the first two sentences the clause is in postposition, but in the last example it is in preposition.
So, let's check our observation.
2. [The expression on her face was cold business, like a person] 1 , (who came to talk about money) 2 .
3. (If this strange proposal was made by a minor) 1, [then, probably, she would be angry And shouted] 2 .
Line diagrams are very convenient.
Now let's find out what types of complications we encountered here. The first sentence has standalone application, expressed by a proper name, and homogeneous predicates. In the second, an isolated circumstance expressed by a comparative turnover, and homogeneous definitions are in the main part. And, finally, in the third sentence there is an introductory word and homogeneous predicates in the main part.
We will not introduce all these complications into the schemes, since only homogeneous predicates play the main role in the structure of the NGN, and yet we will keep them in mind.
Now let's get acquainted with the types of subordination in NGN, which have several subordinate parts.
It is difficult to say exactly which type is more common, most likely, various combinations and mixed cases are possible, when several types of submission can be in one NGN. But you will not find such examples on the exam.
Let's analyze the proposal:
And he also asked her if she wanted tea or coffee, if the weather was good outside.
In this sentence, from the main part to two explanatory subordinate clauses, we ask the same question "about what?"
[And he also asked her] 1 , (does she want to tea or coffee) 2 , (is the weather good outside) 3 .
To compare the two types of schemes, we offer both: linear and vertical.
NGN SCHEMES with homogeneous subordination:
This way of submission is called homogeneous. If there were more than two subordinate parts with a similar structure, then one of the unions LI would be omitted to avoid repetition. But restoring it is very easy.
Consider another suggestion:
Now we find the main and subordinate parts, draw up diagrams.
[On one winter afternoon, (when Vorotov sat in my office and worked) 2 , the footman reported] 1 , (that some young lady asked him) 3 .
NGN SCHEMES with heterogeneous (parallel) subordination:
Here, from the main part, we ask two different questions: the lackey reported "when?" and "about what?". The accessory parts are no longer homogeneous, they have different meaning: one of them is adverbial tense, the other is explanatory. This method is called parallel.
Now let's look at the last example.
Only once did a look of bewilderment flickered across her face when she learned that she had been invited to teach not children, but an adult, fat person.
We come to the conclusion that the adnexal parts also answer different questions: there was a flash of bewilderment "when?", she found out "about what?". We ask these questions not from the main part, but sequentially: from the first subordinate to the second subordinate part.
[Just once, a look of bewilderment flashed across her face] 1 , (when she found out) 2 , (that she was invited to teach not children, but adult, fat man) 3 .
NGN SCHEMES with serial subordination:
This way of subordination is called sequential.
For self-examination, we offer five suggestions. Please note that you may encounter a mixed type of submission if there are more than two subordinate parts.
Self test
1) Alisa Osipovna, with a cold, businesslike expression, answered him that she had completed her course at a private boarding school and had the rights of a home teacher, that her father had recently died of scarlet fever, her mother was alive and was making flowers ...
2) She apologized and said that she could only study for half an hour, as she would go straight to the ball from the lesson.
3) And Vorotov, looking at her embarrassment, realized how dear the ruble was for her and how hard it would be for her to lose this income.
4) She, apparently, did not want her gentlemen to know that she had students and that she gave lessons out of need.
Prompt!
Here, unions are highlighted in color, and all complications are in italics:
1. [Alisa Osipovna with cold business answered him with an expression] 1, (that she finished the course in a private boarding school) 2 and (has the rights of a home teacher) 3, (that her father had recently died of scarlet fever) 4, (mother is alive ) 5 and (makes flowers) 6...

4. [Hey, apparently, didn’t want] 1, (for her gentlemen to know) 2, (that she has students) 3 and (that she gives lessons out of need) 4 .
Now let's read the whole story in full.
A.P. Chekhov
Dear Lessons
For an educated person, ignorance of languages is a great inconvenience. Vorotov felt this strongly when, having left the university with a Ph.D., he took up a small scientific work.
It's horrible! - he said breathlessly (despite his twenty-six years, he is plump, heavy and suffers from shortness of breath). - It's horrible! Without tongues I am like a bird without wings. Just quit your job.
And he decided at all costs to overcome his innate laziness and learn French and German languages and started looking for teachers.
One winter afternoon, when Vorotov was sitting in his office and working, the footman reported that some young lady was asking him.
Ask, - said Vorotov.
And a young, in the latest fashion, elegantly dressed young lady entered the office. She introduced herself as a teacher French, Alisa Osipovna Anket, and said that one of his friends sent her to Vorotov.
Very nice! Sit down! - said Vorotov, panting and covering the collar of his nightgown with his palm. (To breathe easier, he always works in a nightgown.) - Pyotr Sergeyevich sent you to me? Yes, yes... I asked him... Very happy!
Negotiating with m-lle Annette, he looked at her shyly and with curiosity. She was a real, very elegant Frenchwoman, still very young. On the face, pale and languid, on the short curly hair and with an unnaturally thin waist, she could have been given no more than 18 years; glancing at her broad, well-developed shoulders, beautiful back and stern eyes, Vorotov thought that she must be at least 23 years old, perhaps even all 25; but then again it began to seem that she was only 18. Her expression was cold, business-like, like that of a person who came to talk about money. She never smiled, did not frown, and only once did a flash of bewilderment flash across her face when she learned that she had been invited to teach not children, but an adult, fat person.
So, Alisa Osipovna, - Vorotov told her, - we will study daily from seven to eight in the evening. As for your desire to receive a ruble per lesson, I have nothing to object to. For the ruble - so for the ruble ...
And he also asked her if she wanted tea or coffee, if the weather was good outside, and, smiling good-naturedly, stroking the cloth on the table with his palm, he amiably inquired who she was, where she finished her course and how she lives.
Alisa Osipovna, with a cold, business-like expression, answered him that she had completed her course at a private boarding school and had the rights of a home teacher, that her father had recently died of scarlet fever, that her mother was alive and making flowers, that she, m lle Anket, studied at a private school until lunchtime. boarding house, and after dinner, until the evening, walks along good houses and gives lessons.
She left, leaving behind a light, very delicate smell of a woman's dress. Vorotov did not work for a long time afterwards, but sitting at the table, stroking the green cloth with his palms and meditating.
"It's very nice to see girls earning a piece of bread for themselves," he thought. - On the other hand, it is very unpleasant to see that need does not spare even such graceful and pretty girls as this Alisa Osipovna, and she also has to fight for existence. Trouble!.. "
He, who had never seen virtuous French women, also thought that this elegantly dressed Alisa Osipovna, with well-developed shoulders and an exaggeratedly thin waist, in all probability, was doing something else besides lessons.
The next day in the evening, when the clock showed five minutes to seven, Alisa Osipovna came in, pink from the cold; she opened the Margot she had brought with her and began without preamble:
French grammar has twenty-six letters. The first letter is A, the second B...
Guilty, ”Vorotov interrupted her, smiling. “I must warn you, mademoiselle, that for me personally you will have to change your method somewhat. The fact is that I know Russian, Latin and Greek... studied comparative linguistics, and, it seems to me, we can, bypassing Margot, directly start reading some author.
And he explained to the Frenchwoman how adults learn languages.
One of my acquaintances, he said, wanting to learn new languages, put the French, German and Latin gospels in front of him, read them in parallel, and painstakingly analyzed each word, and so what? He achieved his goal in less than one year. We will do so too. Let's take some author and we will read.
The Frenchwoman looked at him in bewilderment. Apparently, Vorotov's proposal seemed to her very naive and absurd. If this strange proposal had been made by a minor, she would probably have been angry and shouted, but since there was an adult and very fat person here, at whom it was impossible to shout, she only shrugged her shoulders barely perceptibly and said:
As you wish.
Vorotov rummaged through his bookcase and pulled out a tattered French book.
Is it good? - he asked.
Does not matter.
In that case, let's get started. God bless. Let's start with the title... Memoires.
Memories, - m-lle Anket translated.
Memories... repeated Vorotov. Smiling good-naturedly and breathing heavily, he fiddled with the word memoires for a quarter of an hour and the same with the word de, and this tired Alisa Osipovna. She answered questions languidly, confused, and apparently did not understand her student well and did not try to understand. Vorotov offered her questions, while he himself looked at her blond head and thought: “Her hair is not naturally curly, it curls. Marvelous! He works from morning to night and still manages to curl.
Exactly at eight o'clock she got up and, saying a dry, cold "au revoir, monsieur" (goodbye, sir - fr.), went out of the office, and all that remained after her was that delicate, delicate, exciting smell. The student again did nothing for a long time, sat at the table and thought.
In the days that followed, he became convinced that his teacher, the young lady, was sweet, serious and tidy, but that she was very uneducated and did not know how to teach adults; and he decided not to waste time, to part with her and invite another teacher. When she came for the seventh time, he took out an envelope with seven rubles from his pocket and, holding it in his hands, became very embarrassed and began like this:
Excuse me, Alisa Osipovna, but I must tell you... I have been placed in a dire need...
Glancing at the envelope, the Frenchwoman guessed what was the matter, and for the first time in all the lessons her face trembled, and the cold, businesslike expression disappeared. She blushed slightly and, lowering her eyes, began nervously fingering her thin skin. gold chain. And Vorotov, looking at her embarrassment, realized how dear the ruble was to her and how hard it would be for her to lose this income.
I have to tell you ... - he muttered, even more embarrassed, and something sank in his chest; he hurriedly thrust the envelope into his pocket and continued:
Excuse me, I... I'll leave you for ten minutes...
And pretending that he did not want to refuse her at all, but only asked permission to leave her for a while, he went into another room and sat there for ten minutes. And then came back even more confused; he realized that this departure of his a short time she could explain in her own way, and he was embarrassed.
The lessons started again.
Vorotov worked without any desire. Knowing that nothing would come of the lessons, he gave the Frenchwoman full rein, did not ask her about anything and did not interrupt. She translated as she wanted, ten pages in one lesson, but he did not listen, he breathed heavily, and, having nothing to do, looked at the curly head, then the neck, then the delicate white hands, inhaled the smell of her dress ...
He would catch himself thinking bad thoughts, and he would feel ashamed, or else he would be touched, and then he would feel chagrin and annoyance because she treated him so coldly, businesslike, as with a student, without smiling and as if afraid that he would touch her. to her by accident. He kept thinking: how to inspire confidence in her, get to know her better, then help her, let her know how badly she teaches, poor thing.
Alisa Osipovna once came to a lesson in a smart pink dress, with a small neckline, and such a fragrance came from her that it seemed as if she was shrouded in a cloud, as if one had only to blow on her, she would fly or dissipate like smoke. She apologized and said that she could only study for half an hour, as she would go straight from class to the ball.
He looked at her neck and at her back, bare near the neck, and seemed to understand why it was French women who enjoyed the reputation of frivolous and easily falling creatures; he was drowning in this cloud of aromas, beauty, nakedness, and she, not knowing his thoughts and probably not at all interested in them, quickly turned over the pages and translated at full speed:
- "He walked in the street and met the gentleman of his acquaintance and said:" Where are you rushing, seeing your face so pale, it hurts me.
The Memoires had long been finished, and now Alice was translating some other book. Once she came to the lesson an hour earlier, apologizing for the fact that at seven o'clock she had to go to the Maly Theater. After seeing her off after class, Vorotov got dressed and also went to the theatre. He went, as it seemed to him, only to rest, to have fun, and he had no thoughts about Alice. He could not allow a serious man, preparing for a scientific career, hard on his feet, to give up business and go to the theater only to meet there with an unfamiliar, not smart, little intelligent girl ...
But for some reason, during the intermissions, his heart was beating, he, without noticing it, how the boy ran along the foyer and along the corridors, impatiently looking for someone; and he grew bored when the intermission was over; and when he saw the familiar pink dress and beautiful shoulders under the tulle, his heart sank, as if from a premonition of happiness, he smiled joyfully and for the first time in his life experienced a jealous feeling.
Alice was walking with some two ugly students and an officer. She laughed, spoke loudly, evidently flirted; Vorotov had never seen her like this. Obviously, she was happy, satisfied, sincere, warm. From what? Why? Because, perhaps, these people were close to her, from the same circle as she... And Vorotov felt a terrible gulf between himself and this circle. He bowed to his teacher, but she nodded coldly to him and quickly passed by; she, apparently, did not want her gentlemen to know that she had students and that she gave lessons out of need.
After the meeting at the theater, Vorotov realized that he was in love... During the next lessons, devouring his graceful teacher with his eyes, he no longer struggled with himself, but gave full play to his pure and impure thoughts. Alisa Osipovna's face did not cease to be cold, at exactly eight o'clock every evening she calmly said "au revoir, monsieur", and he felt that she was indifferent to him and would be indifferent and that his position was hopeless.
Sometimes, in the middle of a lesson, he began to dream, hope, make plans, mentally compose a love explanation, recall that French women are frivolous and malleable, but all he had to do was look at the teacher’s face for his thoughts to instantly go out, like a candle goes out when it’s windy in the country take it out to the terrace. Once he, drunk, forgetting, as if in delirium, could not stand it and, blocking her way, when she went out of the office into the hall after the lesson, gasping and stuttering, began to declare his love:
You are dear to me! I... I love you! Let me speak!
And Alice turned pale - probably from fear, realizing that after this explanation it would no longer be possible for her to come here and receive a ruble for a lesson; she made frightened eyes and whispered loudly:
Oh, it's impossible! Don't speak, please! It is forbidden!
And then Vorotov did not sleep all night, was tormented by shame, scolded himself, thought hard. It seemed to him that with his explanation he had offended the girl, that she would no longer come to him.
He decided to find out her address in the address table in the morning and write her an apology letter. But Alice came without a letter. For the first minute she felt awkward, but then she opened the book and began to translate quickly and glibly, as always:
"Oh, young master, don't tear those flowers in my garden that I want to give to my sick daughter..."
She walks until today. Four books have already been translated, but Vorotov knows nothing but the word "memoires", and when asked about his scientific work, he waves his hand and, without answering the question, starts talking about the weather.

A complex sentence, which has more than two parts (see parallel subordination, sequential subordination) ... Dictionary of linguistic terms
Those with accessory elements are divided into several groups. There are three in total. In speech, there may be a complex expression with homogeneous subordination of subordinate clauses, heterogeneous (parallel) and sequential. Further in the article we will consider the features of one of these categories. What is a complex sentence with homogeneous subordination of subordinate clauses?
General information
Homogeneous subordination of subordinate clauses (examples of such constructions will be given below) is an expression in which each part refers to the main element or to a specific word in it. The last option occurs if the additional component distributes only a certain part of the main one. Sentences with homogeneous subordination of subordinate clauses have a number of features. So, the spreading elements are of the same type, that is, they answer the same question. Usually they are connected with each other by coordinating conjunctions. If they have an enumeration value, then the relationship is unionless, as is the case with homogeneous members. Here, in general, what does homogeneous subordination of subordinate clauses mean.
Communication in context
1. The hushed boys watched the car /1 until it left the intersection /2 until the dust it had raised dissipated /3 until it turned into a ball of dust /4.
Once in the hospital, he recalled how they were suddenly attacked by the Nazis, and how everyone was surrounded, and how the detachment managed to get to their own.
3. If the unions "whether ... or" are used as repeating constructions (in the example, you can change to whether), the homogeneous clauses associated with them are separated by a comma.
It was impossible to tell if it was a fire or if the moon was starting to rise. - It was impossible to understand whether it was a fire, whether the moon was beginning to rise.
Combined connection structures
A sentence with numerous homogeneous subordination of subordinate clauses occurs in several variants. So maybe together. For this reason, when parsing, it is not necessary to immediately draw up general scheme or rush to punctuate.
Context Analysis
Homogeneous subordination of subordinate clauses is parsed according to a certain scheme.
1. Highlighting grammar basics, consider the number of simple elements that make up the structure.
2. They designate all and allied words and, based on this, establish subordinate and main clauses.
3. The main element is defined for all additional ones. As a result, pairs are formed: main-subordinate.
4. Based on the construction of a vertical scheme, the nature of the subordination of subordinate structures is determined. It can be parallel, sequential, homogeneous, combined type.
5. A horizontal scheme is built, based on which punctuation marks are placed.
Analysis of the proposal
Example: The argument is that if your king is here for three days, then you are unconditionally obliged to do what I tell you, and if he does not stay, then I will carry out any order that you give me.
1. This complex sentence contains seven simple ones: The argument is /1 that /2 if your king will be here for three days /3 then you are unconditionally obliged to do /2 what I tell you /4 and / if he does not stay /5 then I will carry out any order /6 that you give me /7.
1) the dispute is;
2) if your king will be here for three days;
3) something ... that you are unconditionally obliged to do that;
4) what I will tell you;
5) if he does not stay;
6) then I will carry out any order;
7) which you will give me.
2. The main sentence is the first (the dispute is that), the rest are subordinate clauses. Only the sixth sentence raises a question (then I will carry out any order).
3. This complex sentence is divided into the following pairs:
1->2: the argument is that... then you are absolutely obligated to do that;
2->3: you are absolutely bound to do this if your king is here for three days;
2->4: you are absolutely bound to do what I tell you;
6->5: I will execute any order if it does not remain;
6->7: I will carry out any order you give me.
Possible difficulties
In the above example, it is somewhat difficult to understand what type the sixth sentence is. In this situation, you need to look at the coordinating conjunction "a". IN complex sentence it, unlike the subordinating connecting element, may not be located next to the sentence related to it. Based on this, it is necessary to understand what simple elements this union connects. For this, only sentences containing oppositions are left, and the rest are removed. Such parts are 2 and 6. But since sentence 2 refers to clauses, then 6 must also be like that, since it is connected with 2 by a coordinating union. It's easy to check. It is enough to insert a union that has sentence 2, and connect 6 with it with the main one related to 2. Example: The dispute is that I will carry out any order. Based on this, we can say that in both cases there is a homogeneous subordination of subordinate clauses, only in 6 the union "what" is omitted.
Output
It turns out that this sentence is complex with homogeneously related subordinate clauses (2 and 6 sentences), in parallel (3-4, 5-7) and sequentially (2-3, 2-4, 6-5, 6-7). To punctuate, you need to define the boundaries of simple elements. This takes into account the possible combination of proposals of several unions at the border.
