more complicated information on word order

for Advanced learners

sentence structure in complicated sentences

Word Order in Complex Sentences
Порядок слов в сложноподчиненных предложениях

There are five parts of a sentence: the subject, the predicate, the attribute, the object, and the adverbial modifier. Accordingly, there are five types of subordinate clauses:
the subject clause,
the predicative clause,
the attributive clause,
the object clause, and
the adverbial clause.

Word order in subordinate clauses is first the subject, then the verb.

In complex sentences with subordinate clauses, the clauses stand in the place of the part of the sentence that they represent.
