Review of composite sentences

A composite sentence is built from two or more grammatical bases. By how its parts are joined it falls into three types. In a linked composite sentence the parts are joined as equals by coordinating conjunctions (ammo, lekin, yoki and the like) or by the words bo‘lsa, esa and the particles -u (-yu), -da. A subordinate composite sentence has a main clause and a subordinate clause; the subordinate clause is joined to the main clause by a conjunction, a postpositional construction, -ki, a correlative word, deb, or the conditional mood -sa. In a composite sentence without a conjunction the parts are joined only by intonation, so punctuation matters most: an explanation takes a colon, a contrast a dash, a sequence a comma.
