מהו משפט מורכב (Complex Sentence)?

משפט מורכב באנגלית הוא משפט המורכב מ:

  1. Main Clause (פסוק ראשי): פסוק שיכול לעמוד בפני עצמו וליצור משפט שלם.
  2. Subordinate Clause (פסוק כפוף): פסוק שאינו יכול לעמוד בפני עצמו ותלוי בפסוק הראשי כדי ליצור משפט שלם.

הפסוקים הכפופים מתחברים לפסוק הראשי באמצעות מילות קישור (Subordinating Conjunctions), כמו:

  • because, although, while, if, when, since, after, before, unless, etc.

מבנה משפט מורכב

Main Clause + Subordinating Conjunction + Subordinate Clause

לדוגמה:

  • I stayed home (Main Clause) because it was raining (Subordinate Clause).

ניתן גם להתחיל בפסוק הכפוף:

  • Because it was raining (Subordinate Clause), I stayed home (Main Clause).
