9 如果有兩個或更多“小”句子由and, but, or, so這類并列連詞連接，這個“大”句子就稱為并列句 (Compound Sentence)，“小”句子就稱為分句 (Coordinate Clause)。例如：

I walked along, and he followed me.

I talked to him, but he wouldn’t listen to me.

I must work, or I shall be starved, but I am so ill.

She loves me, so I love her, but John loves her, too.

10 如果分句起形容詞的作用，修飾一名詞或代詞，這種分句就稱為形容詞從句 (或定語從句), 句子的其他部分稱為主句 (Main Clause或Principal Clause)。例如：

I know the man who killed the woman. (形容詞從句，修飾man, I know the man為主句)

He entered the room where many of his friends were waiting.

 (He entered the room 為主句，where引帶的為形容詞從句，從句修飾room)

如果從句起副詞的作用，修飾句子中的另一動詞，這種分句稱為副詞從句 (或狀語從句), 句子的另一部分稱為主句。

He stayed at home because he was ill. (副詞從句，修飾stayed, He stayed at home為主句)

He will come here if it doesn’t rain. (副詞從句，修飾動詞come, He will come here為主句)

如果整個分句起名詞的作用 (用作主語、賓語、表語或同位語), 這種從句稱名詞從句。

That he has resigned (主語從句) is true.

I know that he is honest. (賓語從句，作動詞know的賓語)

That depends on how he did it. (賓語從句，作介詞on的賓語)

11 形容詞從句、副詞從句、名詞從句，統稱為從屬句 (Subordinate Clauses), 簡稱從句。通常它都由從屬連詞 (Subordinate Conjunctions) 引帶。凡包含從句的句子都稱為復合句 (Complex Sentences)。

12 不包含從句或分句的句子稱為簡單句 (Simple Sentences), 如John came yesterday. He does not know anything about her death.
