một hoặc nhiều hơn một mệnh đề phụ thuộc (dependent clause)

Một số dạng câu phức thông dụng:
Câu phức có chứa mệnh đề trạng ngữ/ phó từ (adverbial clause).
- Mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ sự tương phản bắt đầu bởi liên từ although, though, hoặc
even though. Mệnh đề này thể hiện những kết quả không mong muốn.
Ví dụ:
Although she was tired, she finished knitting the scarf for her dad.
Mặc dù mệt nhưng cô ây vẫn hoàn thành việc đan khăn cho bố mình.
- Mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ mục đích bắt đầu bằng liền từ so that hoặc in order that. Mệnh
đề này thể hiện mục đích của hành động trong mệnh đề độc lập.
Ví dụ:
The artisan moulded the clay so that he could make a mask.
Người thợ thủ công nặn đất sét để có thể tạo ra một cái mặt nạ.
- Mệnh đề trạng ngữ để chỉ ra nguyên nhân của vấn đề bắt đầu bởi liên từ because;
since hoặc as. Mệnh đề này trả lời cho câu hỏi “Tại sao”.
Ví dụ:
Because/Since the water is polluted, the fish are dead.
Cá chết vì nước bị ô nhiễm.

Chú ý:
Câu phức có chứa dạng “mệnh đề rút gọn” (incomplete/ elliptical clauses).

Ví dụ:
Ví dụ 1: The coach could see the game was lost.
Ví dụ 2: After studying for his test, he watched television.

Trong ví dụ đầu tiên, “that” - là dấu hiệu của mệnh đề danh từ đã bị lược bỏ, mệnh
đề đầy đủ là: “that the game was lost”.
Trong ví dụ thứ hai chúng ta có thể hiểu { đầy đủ là : “After he studied for his test.”

Câu phức có chứa dạng mệnh đề quan hệ (relative clause) (xem thêm phần: mệnh đề
quan hệ)
Chú ý:
Đặt dấu phẩy câu trong câu phức:

Câu phức phải có một mệnh đề độc lập và ít nhất một mệnh đề phụ thuộc. Mệnh đề
phụ thuộc này có thể ở đầu câu, giữa câu hoặc cuối câu. Nếu mệnh đề phụ thuộc
đứng đầu câu (trước mệnh đề độc lập) thì dấu phẩy được đặt giữa hai mệnh đề, nếu
ngược lại thì không có dấu phẩy giữa hai mệnh đề.

Exercise 5: Read the text and do the task below.
Last year I visited the Somerset Levels, a coastal plain and wetland area in Somerset,
South West England. This area is home to one of Somerset’s oldest traditional crafts willow basket making. Basket making began in the area a long time ago. At the
beginning of the 19th century, more than three thousand acres of willow trees were
planted commercially there because the area provided an excellent natural habitat for
their cultivation.

I’d seen willow baskets before I visited the Levels, but I was still amazed at the
numerous products created by the basket makers there. They make lobster pots, bread
trays, and even passenger baskets for hot air balloons.
Although the arrival of plastics in the 1950s caused the basket making industry to
decline, willow growing and basket making have continued to play a significant role in
Somerset’s rural economy. Willow growers and basket makers have dealt with this
challenge by finding new markets and innovative ways of using willow. They make
willow charcoal for artists and bower seats for gardens. Some even weave willow
coffins. Therefore, people here can still live on the craft that their great-grandparents
passed down to them.
