独立子句(independent clause)是指本身即为简单句的子句,独立子句中会包括主语和谓语,而且可透过主语和谓语表达其概念。像以下的句子就是独立子句
- My favourite flavour is chocolate
此条目需要精通或熟悉语言学的编者参与及协助编辑。 (2021年9月25日) |
其中的My favourite flavour是主语,而后面的is chocolate是谓语。
英文中的独立子句,若要再连接其他独立子句,可以再加上分号,或是加上逗号以及连词(例如and, but, for, or, nor, so, 等)。
从属子句(dependent clause)和独立子句不同,从属子句是嵌入一个复合句中的子句,本身不是独立的句子。例如,在英语句子 "I know that Bette is a dolphin "中,从属子句 "that Bette is a dolphin "是动词 "know "的补语,它并不是一个独立的句子。
例子
以下是一些英文语句的例子,其中底线部份是独立子句,连词用粗体表示。
简单句(一个独立子句):
- I have enough money to buy an ice cream cone.
- My favourite flavour is chocolate.
- Let's go to the shop.
多个独立子句:
- I have enough money to buy an ice cream cone; my favourite flavour is chocolate.
- I have enough money to buy an ice cream cone, so let's go to the shop.
