Sentences can be divided into single sentences and complex sentences according to their internal structure. A single sentence is a linguistic unit that is acted as a phrase or word, has a specific intonation, and can independently express a certain meaning. A complex sentence is composed of two or more clauses that are related in meaning and do not constitute each other in terms of structure. There is usually a pause between each clause in a compound sentence, which is indicated by a comma, semicolon or colon in writing; there are isolated phonetic pauses before and after the compound sentence, which is indicated by a period, question mark, or exclamation mark in writing.
句型一般指单句句型。Sentence patterns generally refer to single sentence patterns.
句型是根据句子的结构(句法成分的配置格局)对不同的单句进行分类,从而划分出的类型。Sentence pattern is the classification of different single sentences according to the structure of the sentence (the configuration pattern of the syntactic components), and thus the types are divided.
