1) 并列关系：两个分句之间同等重要，没有主从之分。表示分句之间并列逻辑关系的连词: and, or, either…or, neither…nor…, but, so, not only…but also…, yet等(注意：either…or…, neither…nor…, not only…but also…是一个整体，视作一个连词)。如：He came out and (he) saw the baby in the basket. Not only will they invest in the major towns, but also they will expand their business kingdom to the countryside. They found me out, so I had to escape quickly.
2) 主从关系：一个分句为主，叫主句;另一个分句为从，是主句的成分，如从句是主句中一个名词的定语，则后者叫定语从句。连接从句和主句的连词又叫从句的引导词。如：They didn’t tell me why I couldn’t enter the race.下一章详细处理主从关系。
但一个复杂句可能里面包含两个以上的分句，也就可能有多层不同性质的逻辑关系。如：They thought for a while and (they) refused to show up at the meeting because they knew that nothing would be achieved even if they did. 其中分句They thought for a while 和(they) refused to show up at the meeting是并列关系，连词是and;because they knew…是主句的原因状语从句，连词是because;that nothing would be achieved是knew的宾语从句，连词是that;even if they did是分句nothing would be ahieved的让步状语从句，连词是even if。
3. 练习：
1) 改正下列复杂句的错误。
(1) Although the panda is generally a gentle animal, but it can bite sometimes. (The panda is / …it can)
(2) Because the bad experences in the school upset me, so I was determined not to attend it any more. (The bad / …I was)
