Explanation

A subordinate composite sentence whose main clause has a demonstrative pronoun (u, shu, o‘sha, shunga) can often be replaced by a simple sentence with the same meaning. We put the content of the subordinate clause where the pronoun stands: the predicate of the clause becomes a participle (-gan) or a verbal noun (-ish), and the whole clause turns into one sentence part. For example: “Kim tinmay mashq qilsa, u g‘olib bo‘ladi” – “Tinmay mashq qilgan g‘olib bo‘ladi”. “Shuni bilamanki, u halol” – “Men uning halolligini bilaman”. The meaning of both is the same but the style differs: the composite sentence is freer and more expressive, the simple one more compact. When changing, the endings must agree and the meaning must not be broken.

Worked examples
Qancha ko‘p yursang, shuncha ko‘p ko‘rasan. → Ko‘p yurgan ko‘p ko‘radi.
Shunga xursandmanki, jamoa g‘olib bo‘ldi. → Men jamoaning g‘olib bo‘lganiga xursandman.
Class activity

“From composite to simple”: in pairs one pupil says a composite sentence and the other turns it into a simple one; then they swap.
