Punctuation marks in a non-union complex sentence.

In this task it is necessary to distinguish between:

1) a simple sentence with homogeneous members of the sentence and a generalizing word with them;

Clue. If you do not remember how to distinguish a simple sentence from a complex one, look at task A19.

2) punctuation marks in a non-union complex sentence.

Rule.

A generalizing word with homogeneous members of a sentence.

generalizing word- this is a word that is common in relation to homogeneous members of the sentence. Homogeneous members of the sentence clarify, concretize the generalizing word.

The generalizing word can be definitive pronouns and adverbs ( all, always, everywhere, everywhere), as well as other members of the sentence and whole phrases.

Generalizing words are the same member of the sentence as homogeneous members.

Depending on the position, there are three types of structures (with examples):

Associative compound sentence.

Parts of an asyndetic complex sentence are connected only with the help of intonation. UNION between grammatical bases NO.

Between parts of the non-union sentence can be used
semicolon colon dash
;

parts are far from meaning

The air was warm and clear; the stars twinkled strongly; smelled of hay and dust.

there are commas inside parts

The sky was covered with clouds; wind, intensifying; drove them away.

: [reason]

Because, since

Not a single bird was heard: everyone took shelter and fell silent.

: [explanation]

Namely, that is

Dogs have a chivalrous rule: do not touch a dog on a leash or lying down.

: [addition]

Looking at the windows, it is difficult to understand whether the moon is still shining or not.

opposition (comparison)

Measure seven times, cut once.

[Time, condition] –

When...then, if...then

The sun has risen and the day has begun.

- [conclusion, consequence]

So

The strongest thunder struck - all the windows trembled.

Fast change of events

At full speed on the side of the sled - Sasha in the snow.

comparison

As if, as if

It will pass - as if the sun will illuminate, look - it will give a ruble.

1. Highlight grammatical foundations.

2. Determine what the punctuation mark separates: a generalizing word and homogeneous members of a sentence or parts of a complex sentence.

3. If the sentence is with a generalizing word, then find out the position of the generalizing word and homogeneous members.

4. If the sentence is complex, try to determine the semantic connection of grammatical foundations by inserting a suitable union in place of the punctuation mark.

5. By union, determine the answer.

Parsing the task.

How do you explain the use of a colon in this sentence?

Closer to sunset, the frost returned stealthily: at night it was still lord.

1) The generalizing word stands before the homogeneous members of the sentence.

2) The second part of the sentence indicates the reason for what is said in the first.

3) The first part of the non-union sentence indicates the condition of what is said in the second part.

Finding the grammatical basis: the frost was returning and he was the lord. The colon is between parts of a complex sentence.

Answer option number 1.

This option disappears, since it characterizes the relationship between the generalizing word and the homogeneous members of the sentence.

Answer option number 2.

The meaning of the cause is transmitted through the conjunction why. Revising the offer:

Closer to sunset, the frost was creeping back , because at night he was still king.

Union really fits.

Answer options #3 and 4.

They characterize a non-union sentence in which a dash is used between grammatical bases.

Thus the correct answer is #2.
