复合句
Complex Sentences
复合句(Complex Sentence)是由一个主句(independent clause)和一个或多个从句(dependent clause)构成的句子。从句不能单独成句,必须依附主句表达完整意义。复合句常用于解释原因、表达让步、说明条件、限定名词、补充背景信息或呈现逻辑关系。在PTE Academic和IELTS写作、口语及阅读中,准确使用复合句能够提升句子多样性、逻辑连贯性和语法复杂度,是获得较高语法分数的重要能力。

Independent Clause + Dependent Clause / Dependent Clause + Independent Clause
复合句的核心结构是“主句 + 从句”。主句本身意思完整,例如“Students can improve their writing skills”;从句由从属连词(subordinating conjunction)、关系代词(relative pronoun)或疑问词引导,例如“because they receive regular feedback”。当从句放在句首时,通常需要在从句后加逗号;当从句放在句尾时,一般不需要逗号。常见从句包括状语从句(adverbial clause)、定语从句(relative clause)和名词性从句(noun clause)。
Students can improve their writing skills because they receive regular feedback.
学生能够提高写作能力,因为他们会得到定期反馈。
Because online courses are flexible, many adults choose them over traditional classes.
由于在线课程很灵活,许多成年人选择在线课程而不是传统课堂。
The policy that the government introduced last year has reduced traffic congestion.
政府去年推出的政策已经减少了交通拥堵。
It is widely believed that technology has transformed the way people communicate.
人们普遍认为,科技已经改变了人们交流的方式。
使用场景
Usage Scenarios
表达原因与结果
使用because, since, as, so that等引导从句,可以清楚说明事件发生的原因、目的或结果。在学术写作中,这类复合句有助于建立逻辑链条,避免简单句堆砌。
Many students prefer digital textbooks because they are cheaper and easier to update.
许多学生更喜欢电子教材,因为它们更便宜,也更容易更新。
Since public transport has become more reliable, fewer people need to drive to work.
由于公共交通变得更加可靠,较少的人需要开车上班。
表达让步与对比
使用although, even though, while, whereas等引导让步或对比从句,可以体现更成熟的论证能力。IELTS Task 2和PTE Write Essay中常用这类结构呈现平衡观点。
Although social media helps people stay connected, it may also reduce face-to-face interaction.
尽管社交媒体帮助人们保持联系,但它也可能减少面对面交流。
Whereas some people support strict environmental regulations, others worry about their economic impact.
有些人支持严格的环保法规,而另一些人则担心其经济影响。
限定或补充名词信息
使用定语从句(relative clause)可以对名词进行限定或补充说明,使表达更加精确。常见关系词包括who, which, that, whose, where和when。
People who have access to quality education are more likely to find stable employment.
能够接受优质教育的人更有可能找到稳定的工作。
The city, which has invested heavily in public transport, has seen a decline in car use.
这座城市在公共交通上投入巨大,汽车使用量已经下降。
表达条件与假设
使用if, unless, provided that, as long as等引导条件从句,可以表达某一结果发生的前提。PTE和IELTS议论文中经常需要用条件结构讨论政策、教育、科技或环境问题。
If governments invest more in renewable energy, carbon emissions may decrease significantly.
如果政府在可再生能源方面投入更多,碳排放可能会显著下降。
Students can achieve better results as long as they develop effective study habits.
只要学生养成有效的学习习惯,他们就能取得更好的成绩。
表达观点、事实或发现
名词性从句常用于引出观点、研究发现、事实或判断,如that-clause, whether-clause和wh-clause。这类结构在学术英语中非常常见。
Research suggests that regular exercise can improve cognitive performance.
研究表明,规律运动能够提升认知表现。
It remains unclear whether remote work will become the dominant model in the future.
远程办公是否会在未来成为主导模式仍不清楚。
常见错误
Common Mistakes
Incorrect
❌ Because the cost of living is high. Many young people delay marriage.
Correct
✅ Because the cost of living is high, many young people delay marriage.
because引导的是从句,不能单独作为完整句子使用。中文学习者常把原因从句当作独立句。正确做法是把原因从句和主句连接起来;如果从句在句首,从句后通常加逗号。
Incorrect
❌ Although public transport is convenient, but many people still prefer driving.
Correct
✅ Although public transport is convenient, many people still prefer driving.
although已经表示“虽然”,英语中不能再用but连接同一个主句。中文“虽然……但是……”可以成对出现,但英文通常只保留although或but其中一个。
Incorrect
❌ The students which study abroad often become more independent.
Correct
✅ The students who study abroad often become more independent.
当先行词是人时,定语从句通常使用who或that,而不是which。which主要指物或概念。
Incorrect
❌ If governments will reduce pollution, they should invest in clean energy.
Correct
✅ If governments want to reduce pollution, they should invest in clean energy.
条件从句中通常不用will表示将来,常用一般现在时表达将来条件。原句还存在逻辑不清的问题,应表达“如果政府想减少污染”。
Incorrect
❌ The reason why people move to cities is because they can find better jobs.
Correct
✅ The reason why people move to cities is that they can find better jobs.
The reason is that是更规范的学术表达。because在此结构中容易造成重复表达,尤其在正式写作中应避免。
Incorrect
❌ I think that studying overseas which is beneficial for students.
Correct
✅ I think that studying overseas is beneficial for students.
that引导宾语从句后,需要一个完整的从句结构。which不能随意插入句中。中文学习者常误把“这件事”翻译成which,但英语中不需要该关系代词。
Incorrect
❌ People live in rural areas have fewer job opportunities.
Correct
✅ People who live in rural areas have fewer job opportunities.
当一个名词后面直接接一个带谓语的说明部分时,需要使用定语从句引导词。People live in rural areas不能直接修饰people。
Incorrect
❌ When students use AI tools, can improve their efficiency.
Correct
✅ When students use AI tools, they can improve their efficiency.
主句必须有明确主语。中文中可以省略主语,但英语主句通常不能省略。when从句不能充当主句主语。

AI 学习建议
AI Learning Tips
写PTE Write Essay时,每段至少使用一个清晰的复合句,但不要为了复杂而写过长的句子。准确性比长度更重要。
如果从句放在句首,例如Although, Because, If引导的部分,通常在从句结束后加逗号,再写主句。
中文中的“虽然……但是……”翻译成英文时,不要同时使用although和but;二者选择一个即可。
在Summarize Written Text中,可以用定语从句和that从句整合信息,但必须确保整句只有一个完整的句号结尾。
口语中使用复合句时,应优先选择because, although, if, which等高频连接方式,避免因结构过度复杂影响流利度。
