Nouns in the plural of the genitive case. Null ending genitive plural
Difficult forms plural nouns
Among the forms of nouns, the formation of which may be associated with certain difficulties, one should include the plural forms nominative case (directors or directors, valves or valve?) and the genitive plural form of some nouns ( five grams and five grams, five oranges or five orange?)
1. Plural forms of the nominative case of nouns: directors or directors?
The nominative plural form of nouns is checked in dictionary order (according to the dictionary). See rubric "Word Check" on our portal. Please note: the search for a word in dictionaries is carried out by initial form(nominative case, singular)!
A dictionary entry reads as follows: if the entry does not contain special instructions into the plural form (litter pl.), then the ending is used to form the nominative plural -and or -s. If a different ending is required (or options are acceptable), then a litter is put: pl. -a. For example:
In the modern Russian literary language, options that fluctuate in the form of them. n. pl. h., have over 300 words. The focus of distribution of flexion -and I) are the spheres of vernacular and professional language. For this reason, the forms -and I) often have a colloquial or professional coloring: contracts, locksmith, turner. The forms on -s(s) more neutral and for most words meet traditional norms literary language. However, in some cases the forms -and I) have already supplanted the forms on -s(s).
In addition, you can remember a number of patterns that facilitate the choice of inflection (ending) of the nominative plural:
Declinable neuter nouns, the initial form of which ends in -KO, have unstressed plural inflection. h. im. P. -and (faces, feathers, apples). The exception is nouns with stressed plural endings. hours: troops and clouds.
Other neuter nouns in plural form. h take the ending -and I): swamps, fields, seas, windows.
Form on -and I some words may be singular or predominant: side - sides (sides only in phraseological combination hands to the sides); century - century (eyelids only in phraseological combinations for once, forever and ever, forever and ever), eye - eyes, meadow - meadows, fur - furs, snow - snow, stack - stacks, silk - silk.
Forms may have different meaning: tones(about color) and tones(about sound) of bread(about cereals) and loaves(about baked bread) workshops and workshops(at the enterprise) and workshops(medieval organizations of artisans).
Noun forms can differ in stylistic coloring: sides and outdated. sides; at home and outdated. houses; stern and outdated. stern; horns and outdated. and a poet. horns; varieties and outdated. varieties; volumes and outdated. then we, as well as thunders and a poet. thunder; coffins and a poet. coffin.
Finally, noun forms can be equal and interchangeable: of the year and years(but: years of youth, severe deprivation; nineties, zero years), workshops and workshops(at the enterprise), storm and storms.
In order to resolve the issue of the status of the "controversial" form of the word (non-normative, variant, stylistically colored, etc.), in any case, you need to refer to the dictionary.
Non-standard plurals are formed in words child - children, man - people, bottom - bottom and some others.
2. Plural forms of the genitive case of nouns: five grams or five grams?
For most nouns male, in the initial form ending in a hard consonant ( orange, tomato, fly agaric, computer, sock), characteristically ending -ov in the genitive plural form: oranges, tomatoes, fly agarics, computers, socks etc. An extensive number of exceptions can be distinguished from this rule - similar nouns, but having a zero ending in the genitive plural: one stocking - no stockings, one Ossetian - five Ossetians, one gram - five grams and five grams etc. These words include:
Names of people by nationality and by belonging to military formations, mainly used in plural forms in a collective meaning: Magyars - Magyars, Turkmens - Turkmens, midshipmen - midshipmen and midshipmen, partisans - partisans, soldiers - soldiers; this also includes the form r. n. pl. h. human.
Names of paired items: boots - boot, eyes - eyes, cuffs - cuffs, shoulder straps - shoulder strap, stockings - stocking, epaulettes - epaulette, boots - boots.
Names of measures and units of measurement: 220 volts, 1000 watts, 5 amps, 500 gigabytes. If such names are used outside the "measuring" context (in other words, the genitive case form is not countable), then the ending is used -ov: live without excess kilograms, not enough gigabytes.
It should be noted that the names of fruits, fruits and vegetables, which are masculine nouns, in the initial form ending in a solid consonant ( orange, eggplant, tomato, tangerine), in the genitive plural form. hours have an ending -ov: five oranges, a kilogram of eggplant, New Year without tangerines, tomato salad.
For some nouns, the formation of plural forms. h. n. difficult; these are the words dream, prayer, head. On the contrary, words cheek and woodworker do not have other forms, except for the plural form. h. case.

Numeral Cardinal numbers When using compound quantitative numbers in speech, it should be remembered that 1) they must be in the same case as the noun denoting the object; 2) by cases, all the components forming the numeral change. For example:
Numerals 40, 90, 100 Numerals forty, ninety and one hundred differ from others in that in all indirect cases, except for the accusative, they have the ending -a:
We decline the cardinal number 5348, containing word "fourty":
§2.3. Fractional numbers When using numerals denoting fractional numbers, the noun always stands in the genitive case of the singular, and all parts of the numeral change in cases: im. - three whole and six tenths of a percent, genus. - three point six percent etc. (not properly: * percent). For example:
Numerals one and a half and one and a half hundred:
Ordinals Remember the following rule! In compound ordinal numbers, only the last word changes in cases, and all previous words are used in the initial form (nominative singular). For example:
In accordance with this rule, the numeral denoting the year changes as follows:
Collective numbers How to say correctly: two girls or two girls? about three days or about three days? about both rivers or about both rivers? Numerals two, three, four, five, six, seven, as well as infrequent eight, nine, ten can only be used in certain cases: 1) with nouns that call people and do not belong to the feminine grammatical gender ( two people, seven children, five students, three unknowns, two colleagues); 2) with personal pronouns we you they (there are four of us, two of them); 3) with nouns that do not have a singular form ( two scissors, four collars, three jeans, two days). It is a violation of the norm to use these numerals with feminine nouns (* three girls * five schoolgirls), as well as with the names of inanimate objects (* two tables, three windows). Collective declension
Declension of numerals both / both

Verb
Features of the conjugation of some verbs
From many verbs it is impossible to form the form of the 1st person (I): dare, eclipse, win, convince, find oneself, be weird etc. However, this phenomenon is overcome in common speech, and personal forms of the verb that are unusual for hearing are sometimes used * I dare *I will find myself and others. Cf. also in the playful song of V. Vysotsky: Miracle-Yudu I will win anyway.
Verbs that have an infinitive -ch: burn, flow, bake(total 16 word forms), form variant forms of the 3rd person singular: along with the literary ones: burns, flows, bakes- colloquial burns, flows, bakes.
Features of the formation of the imperative mood of some verbs.
Some verbs do not have imperative forms: want, be able, see, hear, go, crave, rot and others. Used in the XIX century. Old Church Slavonic forms see, listen became archaisms; colloquial options * can't, *go, *go, *ride remain outside the literary norm, form drive is conversational. Only the form is literary go (those).
At practical application nominative plural of nouns, students often face the problem correct spelling endings. The article provides the basic rules, exceptions to them and examples of spelling endings in such a case.
