Question
Read the following sentence:
(i) She muttered in reply and we looked at Jeevan for a quick interpretation.
(ii) These are two complete sentences underlying the above sentence.
- She muttered in reply.
- We looked at Jeevan for a quick interpretation.
These two sentences are put together by using the coordinating conjunction ‘and’.
Such sentences are joined by coordinating conjunctions (and/ but/ either...or; neither...nor) are called compound sentences.
Sentence ‘a’ and ‘b’ are Simple Sentences.
Each of them has only one subject and one predicate.
Sentence ‘a’ and ‘b’ can be written in another way.
As she muttered in reply, we looked at Jeevan for a quick interpretation.
This sentence begins with a subordinating conjunction ‘As’.
This is a complex sentence.
Two simple sentences joined by subordinate conjunctions are called complex sentences. The subordinate conjunction need not always be at the beginning of the sentence.
Prepare a list of subordinating conjunctions.
