Modification:

Modification is a syntactic construction in which one grammatical element (e.g., a noun)

is accompanied (or modified) by another (e.g., an adjective). This accompanying element
is called a modifier.

Modifiers that appear before the headword are called premodifiers. Modifiers that
appear after the headword are called postmodifiers.

Example:

 She was wearing a purple scarf.

 The scarf that she bought was purple.

Coordination:

In linguistics, coordination is a frequently occurring complex syntactic structure that links

together two or more elements. We can use coordinating conjunctions or punctuation to
combine independent clauses into a sentence.

Example:

 It was raining. The basketball match got postponed.

 It was raining so the basketball match got postponed.

Subordination:

Syntactic structure that transforms independent clauses into dependent clauses.

Example:

 She was late. She missed the meeting.

 Because she was late, she missed the meeting.
  She missed the meeting because she was late.

Complementation:

Complement (linguistics) in grammar, is a word, phrase or clause that is necessary to

complete the meaning of a given expression. It gives more information about either the
subject or the object.

Example:

 She was ill. (Subject Complement)

 Everybody at the party knew that she was ill. (Object Complement)
