How to replace union proposals with unionless ones

In our language, thoughts can be transmitted using different constructions of sentences. Union and union-free complex sentences are able to replace each other in speech: with a change in structure, the semantic content remains the same. Omit the union - and you have a union-free offer. Do not distort the meaning and correctly place punctuation marks!

A complex sentence expresses a complex idea; its composition combines at least two simple sentences. The components included in the structure outside the complex structure do not have the intonation of completeness. The combination of simple sentences into a syntactic whole does not occur mechanically, but according to semantic unity. In allied sentences, the establishment of semantic relationships helps the presence of alliances and allied words. If the sentence is unionless, the content indicates the semantic connection of the parts. Replacing unionless constructions of complex sentences with union ones and vice versa is necessary to determine the nature of semantic relationships, the correct placement of punctuation marks.

In an allied sentence for alliances and allied words, determine whether it is complex or complex. The possibility of replacing the union-free will depend on the value of the parts included in the structure of the proposal.

Complicated sentences with connecting and opposing unions can be rebuilt into unionless ones. The transmission of simultaneous or sequential events, the opposition make up the semantic content of such language constructions. For example, “The end of May, (and) the field is still cool”, “The sun has set, (and) it has begun to get dark”, “In December it’s getting dark, (yes) it is getting dark early”. The value of the enumeration requires the setting of a comma (semicolon) in the union-free sentence, in contrast, a dash.

Complicated sentences with subordinate causes, explanatory, conditions, time, and consequences can also be changed to non-union ones. Often, the type of subordinate clause helps determine the unions, which clearly indicate the semantic relations expressed in the sentence. Observe the examples: “Passengers were in a hurry, because (causality) there were five minutes left before the train departed” - “Passengers were in a hurry: five minutes were left before the train departed”; "I understand that (addition) it is impossible to catch the boat" - "I understand: it is impossible to catch the boat"; “If (condition) you say a word, then add ten” - “Say a word - add ten”; When (time) the finches arrived, the forest came to life "-" Finches arrived - the forest came to life ";" Firewood came out, so there is nothing to heat (consequence) "-" Firewood came out - there is nothing to heat. "In such non-union constructions of sentences, the main punctuation marks are the colon and dashes.

Simple sentences that are part of the union-free complex, usually can not be interchanged: this will distort the meaning or entail its change. Replacement is possible in sentences with the meaning of the enumeration of simultaneously occurring phenomena: "Orioles shout, cuckoos count years not lived by someone" - "Cuckoos count years not lived by someone, shriek Orioles."

note

Punctuation is more complicated in an all-union sentence than in a complex subdivision and a complex one: here it is necessary to solve the question of setting a point, semicolon, dash or colon. In order not to make a mistake, think about the meaning that unites several parts into one whole.
