Complex sentence and errors in it. Errors in the construction of a complex sentence

Sentences consisting of two or more parts, each of which has its own grammatical basis (subject and predicate or one of the main members), are called complex. Parts can be connected with the help of unions or only with the help of intonation. In the written text of the part complex sentence usually separated by a comma or other punctuation marks.

Mistakes in compound sentences

1. Violation of the logical and grammatical connection between parts of a compound sentence: "My father did not forget this story for a long time, but he died."

2. The use of a pronoun in the second part of a compound sentence leading to ambiguity: "May hopes come true and they will return."

Errors in the use of compound unions:

a) connecting - to connect the parts of a compound sentence in the absence of adversarial relations between them: "Yesterday there was a storm, and today everything was calm around."

b) adversative - to connect the parts of a compound sentence in the absence of adversarial relations between them: "A birch grows in our yard, but buds also swell on it."

c) double and repeating: “It’s not like a bird has landed on the water, or the wreckage of a broken boat is floating on the sea.”

d) unjustified repetition of unions: "And suddenly the girls saw a small black dot, and they had hope."

e) an unsuccessful choice of unions: "Mitrasha was ten years old with a ponytail, but her sister was older."

Errors in complex sentences

1. Inconsistency of the type of the subordinate clause with the meaning of the main one: "But they will still wait for their father, since the fishermen must be expected on the shore."

2. Using composition and subordination to connect parts in a complex sentence: "If a person does not play sports, and he is aging quickly."

3. Weighting structures due to the “stringing” of subordinate clauses: “The sail appeared in the sea as happy news that everything is in order with the fishermen and that the girls will soon be able to hug their parents, who were delayed at sea because there was a strong storm.”

4. Omitting the necessary index word: "Mom always scolds me for throwing my things."

5. Unjustified use of the index word: "I have such an assumption that the fishermen were delayed by a storm."

6. Incorrect use of unions and allied words with the right choice:

a) the use of unions and allied words in the middle of a subordinate clause: “There is a TV in the room on the bedside table, after school I watch entertainment programs on it.”

b) violation of the agreement of the allied word in the subordinate clause with the replaced or attributive word in the main sentence: "On two shelves - fiction, which I use in preparing for lessons."

7. The use of the same type of subordinate clauses with sequential submission: "Walking along the shore, I saw two girls who were sitting on an overturned boat, which lay on top of the keel near the shore."

8. Using a subordinate clause as an independent one: “Girls are worried about their relatives. Therefore, they look so sadly into the distance.

Mistakes in non-union complex sentence

1. Violation of the unity of the constructions of homogeneous parts as part of a non-union complex sentence: "The picture shows: early morning, the sun is just rising."

2. Decomposition of parts of an allied complex sentence into independent sentences: “The girls are dressed simply. They are wearing summer cotton dresses. On the head of the elder is a scarf.

3. Simultaneous use of non-union and allied communication: “The clothes on the girls are simple: the older one with a scarf on her head, in a blue skirt and a gray jacket, the younger one without a scarf, in a purple dress and a dark blue jacket.”

Mistakes in a complex sentence with different types of connection

1. Violation of the order of the parts of the sentence: “The waves are still foaming, but they calm down near the shore; the closer to the horizon, the darker the sea; and so the girls have hope that their father will return.”

2. Use of pronouns that lead to ambiguity: "We see that the girl's bed is not made, and she confirms that the girl just got up."

Use a large number complex sentences in business legal speech is caused primarily by the requirement of utmost accuracy, objectivity, the need to specifically present all the circumstances of the case in their interconnectedness, to establish temporary, causal relationships between the actions of the accused, between the participants in the criminal case.

Pronounced syntactic link in complex sentences contributes to the logical presentation.

When a writer loses logical threads, it leads to clutter of sentences. accessory parts and superfluous, unnecessary information, and as a result - to violation of the boundaries of the proposal.

Errors in the construction of a complex sentence

When constructing complex sentences, it should be borne in mind that the most common are complex sentences with conjunctions “what; which the; if; due to the fact that; on condition; to; where; how".

Often, the compilers of business letters unnecessarily complicate the text. Letters appear saturated with complex sentences with the same type of subordinate clauses, long enumerations, intricately constructed plug-in constructions, extended quotations (for example, from a preliminary business conversation or telephone conversation) etc.

Among the errors and shortcomings associated with the use of complex sentences, direct and indirect speech, the most common are the following: incorrect construction of the sentence structure itself, the use of unnecessarily cumbersome structures.

1. One of the most common shortcomings is the clutter of a complex sentence with subordinate clauses.

Wed: The statement of representatives of foreign circles, ignoring the fact that trade relations, which in recent years have been steadily developing and showing a trend of further growth, indicates that someone is still interested in preserving the atmosphere " cold war and the elimination of the mass desire for friendship that has gripped the peoples of Europe and America, and this cannot but affect the actions of our state, which continues to count on the success of negotiations, although it understands that it will not be easy to achieve progress in such negotiations, but we are used to overcoming difficulties .

2 . In a complex sentence, structures are weighted due to the "stringing" of subordinate clauses: "The sail appeared in the sea as happy news that everything is in order with the fishermen and that the girls will soon be able to hug their parents, who were delayed at sea because there was a strong storm ".

3. The use of the same type of subordinate clauses in sequential submission: "Walking along the shore, I saw two girls who were sitting on an overturned boat, which was lying on the shore with a keel."

4. In a number of cases, the same situation can be expressed using both complex and complex sentences.

Wed: He entered and we got up; When he came in, we got up.

At the same time, cases of “structural failure” are often observed in speech: a sentence that begins as a complex sentence ends as a complex one, and vice versa. It is unacceptable!

Wed: When Murka was tired of messing with kittens, and she went somewhere to sleep.

General conclusion on the topic: Employee law enforcement on duty you have to deal with people different professions and different cultural levels. And in each case, it is necessary to find the right tone and words that argue and correctly express thoughts. Violation of language (including syntactic) norms can cause a negative reaction or distrust on the part of listeners. Respect for the speaker is lost, uncertainty in his knowledge appears.

Task number 8. Syntactic norms.

Errors in the construction of complex sentences.

Today, guys, let's figure out what mistakes in building a complex sentence can be in task number 7 how to find them and how to fix them.

Let me remind you that a complex sentence is a sentence that consists of several simple ones. By type of complex are:

• compound
• complex subordinate
• unionless.

AT task number 7 you are prompted to find errors in the construction complex sentences.

Let me remind you that a complex sentence (CSS) is a sentence consisting of two or more simple ones, one of which is MAIN, and the other (or others) - ADDITIONAL.

A question is asked from the main to the subordinate clause, the subordinate clause depends on the main one, the connection in the sentence is subordinating.

Now let's get to the heart of question #8.

Let's take a look typical mistakes. There are quite a lot of them, so I grouped all the errors by micro topics.

Typical mistakes in the construction of complex sentences (CPP).

Errors in the use of subordinating conjunctions.

• Incorrectly chosen subordinating conjunction.

Each type of subordinate clause has its own subordinating conjunctions or allied words. The use of a conjunction specific to another type of subordinate clause is a mistake.

Example.

where the appropriate decision was made.

Right.

The issue was discussed at the meeting on which a decision was made (at what meeting?)

• The use of two subordinating conjunctions or allied words at once in a subordinate clause . Remember that there should always be only one union.

Example.

how much.

Right.

Reading the pages of Leo Tolstoy's novel "War and Peace", you understand how much the author skillfully portrayed the characters of the characters .

• Remember what particle LI used in the subordinate clause as a subordinating conjunction. Therefore, you cannot use the LI particle and the subordinating union at once.

Example.

We asked about , what Can whether

Right.

We asked about , Can whether prepare one presentation together.

• You cannot use coordinating and subordinating conjunctions at the same time. to connect two simple sentences in one complex

Example.

How the show just started but suddenly my phone rang.

Right.

How The performance had just begun when my phone rang.

• If in complex sentence there are several adjuncts which are in sequential subordination, then the repeated use of the same union is a mistake .

Example.

I asked a friend to he reminded me to I did not forget the prepared message for the lessons.

Right.

I asked a friend to he reminded me to bring a prepared message to class.

Errors associated with the use of demonstrative words in the main sentence.

• Omitting a required index word.

Example.

My mother constantly scolds me that I am constantly late for lessons. (Missed a demonstrative word with the preposition "for that")

Right.

Mom always scolds me for that that I'm always late for class.

OR

Mom always scolds me because I am constantly late for classes.

• Unjustified use of a demonstrative word.

Example.

I have such guess he just wasn't prepared .

Right.

My guess is that he just wasn't prepared. .

• Using a demonstrative word in the wrong case.

Example.

The teacher pointed out About

Right.

The teacher pointed out for that that there are errors in the essay.

Incorrect construction of a complex sentence.

• Incorrect addition of a subordinate clause , which creates ambiguity in the perception of the meaning of the sentence.

Example.

The letter said that an auditor was going to the city, which was managed by the mayor. (The mayor manages the auditor or the city?)

Right.

The letter said that an auditor was going to the city, which was run by the mayor.

• Incorrect use as homogeneous members sentences of attributive clause and participial turnover.

Example.

Test, scheduled for Monday

And to which I was preparing, was suddenly cancelled.

Right.

The test, which was scheduled for Monday and for which I was preparing, was suddenly cancelled.

• The use of the wrong form of the allied word "which".

Example.

She is was that hero , which has always fascinated me.

(What kind of hero? - which)

Right.

She is was that hero , which the has always fascinated me.

Algorithm for completing task number 8.

Mistakes in complex sentences.

• Find grammar basics , prove that this is a complex sentence.
• Prove it's complex sentence sentence (it has a main clause and a subordinate clause).
• Look at union or allied sl ovo: does it make sense for this type of NGN? Are there two unions (including LI particles). Is it illegally used in the main clause coordinative conjunction? If the conjunctions do not fit, or if there are two subordinating conjunctions, or a coordinating conjunction is incorrectly used, then this error.
• pay attention to index word in the main: is its use justified, or, conversely, is it not, although it should be). If there are violations in the use of the index word, then this error.
• note to build a proposal: there should not be two identical unions related to different simple ones; There should be no ambiguity when using the word "which". If data is found mistakes, the sentence is incorrect.
• Please note not used whether the participial turnover and the relative attributive as homogeneous members. If yes, then this is a mistake.

Clause right-vi-la 7.1.1

7.1. USE OF PARTICIPIAL TERMS

INTRODUCTION

Participle turnover is a participle with dependent words. For example, in the sentence Graduates who successfully pass the exam become applicants

word Graduates- main word

surrendered - communion,

those who passed (how?) successfully and passed (what?) the exam are participle dependent words.

Thus, the participle turnover in this proposal - successfully passed the exam. If you change the word order and write the same sentence differently by placing a turnover before main word ( Successfully passed the exam Graduates become applicants), only the punctuation will change, and the turnover remains unchanged.

Very important: before starting work with task 7 for finding errors in a sentence with a participle, we advise you to solve and study task 16, which tests the ability to put commas with correctly constructed participial and adverbial phrases.

The purpose of the task is to find one such sentence in which grammatical norms are violated when using participle turnover. Of course, the search must begin with finding the sacrament. Remember that the sacrament you are looking for must certainly be in full form: short form never forms a participial turnover, but is a predicate.

To successfully complete this task, you need to know:

• rules for coordinating the participle and the main (or defined) word;
• the rules for the location of the participial turnover in relation to the main word;
• tense and type of participles (present, past; perfect, imperfect);
• participle pledge (active or passive)

We draw attention to that that in a sentence with a participial turnover, not one, but two or even three errors can be made.

Note for teachers: keep in mind that the authors of various manuals have different points of view on the classification, as well as on the types of errors that can be attributed to a certain type. The classification adopted at RESHU is based on the classification of I.P. Tsybulko.

We classify all types of possible grammatical errors when using participial turnover.

7.1.1 Violation of the agreement of the participle with the word being defined

The rule according to which single participles (as well as those included in the participle) are consistent with the main (= defined) word, requires setting the participle in the same gender, number and case as the main word:

About children (what?) returning from a trip; for the exhibition (what?) being prepared in the museum.

Therefore, we simply find a sentence in which there is a full participle, and its ending does not correspond to (or) gender, (or) case, (or) the number of the main word.

Type 1, the lightest

I got to chat with the guests present at the opening of the exhibition.

What is the reason for the error? The participle is not consistent with the word to which it must obey, that is, the ending must be different. We put the question from the noun and change the ending of the participle, that is, we agree on the words.

I had a chance to chat with guests(what IMI?), those present at the opening of the exhibition.

In these examples, the noun and its participle stand side by side, the error is easily seen. But this is not always the case.

type 2, harder

Consider sentences with a grammatical error.

I want to find the words to the song heard recently.

These sentences contain two nouns: author, books; lyrics. Which of them has a participle turnover attached to it? We think about meaning. What was published, the author or his book? What do you want to find, words or a song?

Here's the corrected version:

I want to find the lyrics of the song (which one?), heard recently.

Type 3, even harder

The endings of participles sometimes perform a very large semantic mission. We think about the meaning!

Let's compare two sentences:

The noise of the sea (which one?), which woke me up, was very strong. What woke up? It turns out that the sea. The sea cannot wake up.

The noise (what?) of the sea that woke me up was very strong. What woke up? Turns out it's noise. And the noise can wake up. This is the correct option.

I heard the heavy steps (what?) of a bear, chasing me. Footsteps cannot pursue.

I heard the heavy steps of a bear (what?), haunting me. The bear can chase. This is the correct option.

Children of employees (which ones?), having any diseases receive preferential vouchers to the sanatorium. The participle “having” refers to the word “employees”. It turns out that employees will have diseases, and the children of sick employees will receive vouchers. This is not the right option.

Children (what?) of employees, having any disease receive preferential vouchers to the sanatorium. The participle "having" refers to the word "children", and we understand that it is the children who have diseases and they need vouchers.

4 type, variant

Often there are sentences in which there are phrases of two words, the first of which is part of the whole, indicated by the second, for example: each of their participants, one of all, any of those named, some of them, some of the gifts.. Each of the nouns can be attached to a participle, depending on the meaning: in such phrases, the participle (participial) can be agreed with any word. It will be a mistake if the sacrament "hangs" and has no connection with any of the words.

Consider sentences with a grammatical error.

Each of the participants who received the maximum number of points was given the right to perform one more number.

The sacrament can be agreed with both the word "to each" and the word "participants".

To each (what?) of the participants, who received the maximum number of points, was granted the right to perform one more number

Each of the participants (which THEM?), who received the maximum number of points, was granted the right to perform one more number.

We draw attention to the fact that it will be a mistake to disagree with OR with the first word, OR with the second:

Incorrect: Each of the participants who received ... or Each of the participants who received ... This is not possible.

In explanations on DECIDE, the option of agreement with the ending THEM is more often used.

Similarly true: Part of the books (which THEM?), received as a gift will go as a gift.

Or Part (what) of books, received as a gift will go as a gift.

Incorrect: Part of the books received as a gift will go as a gift.

NOTE : this type of error when checking essays is considered a matching error.

7.1.2 Participle construction and place of the main word

In well-formed sentences with participial turnover the main (or defined word) cannot be inside the participial turnover. His place is either before or after him. Remember that this depends on the placement of punctuation marks !!!

Consider sentences with a grammatical error.

Submissions must be carefully checked the documents for examination.

We walked through the littered alley fallen leaves.

presenter the outside the city was free.

Created novel young author caused lively controversy.

note: with this construction of the sentence, it is completely incomprehensible whether to put a comma.

Here's the corrected version:

Must be carefully checked the documents, submitted for examination. Or: You need to carefully check submitted for examination the documents.

We walked along alley, strewn with fallen leaves. Or: We walked along strewn with fallen leaves alley.

The outside leading to the city was free. Or: Leading to the city the outside was free.

7.1.3. Participle turnovers, including irregular forms of participles

In accordance with the norms of the formation of participles, in modern Russian literary language participle forms are not used in -sch, formed from perfective verbs with the meaning of the future tense: there are no words pleasing, helping, reading, able. In the opinion of the editors of DECIDE, such erroneous forms should be presented in task 6, but, since I.P. Tsybulko has similar examples, we consider it important to note this type too.

Consider sentences with a grammatical error.

Until I found human, able to help me.

A valuable prize awaits participant, finding the answer to this question.

These sentences need to be corrected, because future participles are not formed from perfective verbs. Participles do not have a future tense..

Here's the corrected version:

We replace the non-existent participle with a verb in the conditional mood.

Until I found someone who can help me.

A valuable prize awaits the person who finds the answer to this question.

7.1.4. Participle turnovers, including irregular forms of pledge of participles

This type of error was USE assignments past years (until 2015). In the books of I.P. Tsybulko 2015-2017 there are no such tasks. This type is the most difficult to recognize, and the error is due to the fact that the participle is used in the wrong voice, in other words, the real is used instead of the passive.

Consider sentences with a grammatical error.

The documents, sent for examination

Competition, hosted by the organizers

Foam, pouring into the bath, has a pleasant aroma.

Here's the corrected version:

The documents, sent for examination must be carefully checked.

Competition, organized by the organizers very much liked by the participants.

The foam that we pour into the bath has a pleasant aroma.

B) an error in the order of the preposition with one-but-kind-members in the preposition 4 for the key-cha- et-Xia in the fact that with one-native members there was a attempt to use a double union, while to the part NOT SO osha -boch-but before-bav-le-but AND ALSO. Parts of double co-y-call in a hundred-yang-na: NOT SO MUCH, AS MUCH.

Let's bring the right to-pi-sa-nie: the Egyptian bridge in St. len-nym on it the sphinx-himself, how-to mi-sti-che-sky is-to-rii, pro-iso-walked in 1905.

Clause right-vi-la 7.6.2

7.6. MISTAKE IN CONSTRUCTING A SENTENCE WITH HOMOGENEOUS MEMBERS

INTRODUCTION

Homogeneous are members of a sentence that perform the same syntactic function, are united by the same relationship to the same member of the sentence, and are interconnected by a coordinating link. Homogeneous can be both main and secondary members: subjects, predicates, additions, definitions, circumstances. For example, the definitions of "new, super-powerful computer" in relation to the word "computer" will be homogeneous; circumstances "depicted colorfully, but indistinctly" in relation to "depicted".

TYPES OF ERRORS MADE WHEN USING HOMOGENEOUS MEMBERS

7.6.1 Homogeneous predicates have the same dependent object.

Rule: With a normal, correct sentence structure, from each of the two homogeneous predicates (first and second), ONE GENERAL question is posed to the general addition, for example:

Guys addicted to (what?) and doing (what?) sports; Heroes of the story remember (about what?) and share their impressions (about what?) about the years of youth.

An error occurs if each of the predicates asks a DIFFERENT question to the GENERAL addition.

Example 1: I love (who? what?) and admire (who? what) my father.

The predicates “I love” and “I admire” have one dependent word “father”, which is in the instrumental case. It turned out that the addition of “father” correctly obeyed only the second predicate, since the verb “love” requires an accusative from the addition (I love whom? What? Father), therefore, this sentence is constructed incorrectly. To correctly express a thought, you need to change the sentence so that each predicate has a separate, case-appropriate addition, for example, like this: I love my father and admire him.

Example 2: The hero of the story believed (in what? what?) and strove (for what?) to his dream. Each of the verbs requires its own form of complement, it is impossible to pick up a common word, so we change the sentence again so that each predicate has a separate complement that matches the case, for example, like this: The hero of the story believed in his dream and strove for it.

Note for teachers: This type of error refers to control errors. AT written works such a mistake is usually made by students due to inattention: the first predicate is simply overlooked, and the mistake (when pointing to it) is easily corrected. A much more serious problem arises where the student does not realize that this or that case question cannot be raised from a given verb in principle.

7.6.2 Homogeneous members are connected by double unions not only ..., but also ...; if not ... then ... and others

Rule 1 In such proposals, attention should be paid to that parts of a double union must connect homogeneous members of the same series, for example: We were inspired not so much colorful places of this quiet city, How many the spirit of its inhabitants. Let's make a proposal: not so much O , How many O . The first part of the double union: not so much, is before the first EP, subject to “places” (we do not take into account the word “colorful”), the second part How many stands before the second subject "soulfulness".

Now let's break the sentence. Us not so much inspired by the colorful places of this quiet city, How many the spirit of its inhabitants. The first part of the union now refers to the predicate, and the second to the subject. This is where this type of error lies.

Let's look at some more examples:

Example 1: It can be argued that the mood was the main Not only for the creator of the poem, but also for his readers. That's right: each part comes before the OC, in this example, before the additions. Compare with an incorrectly constructed sentence: It can be argued that the mood was Not only the main thing for the creator of the poem, but also for his readers. The parts of the union are connected not by homogeneous members, but by the predicate and the addition.

Rule 2 It must also be remembered that the parts of a double union are permanent, they cannot be replaced by other words. Yes, the suggestion would be wrong. Merchants Stroganovs Not only boiled salt, as well as , since the union not only.. but also no. The union "not only" has the second part "but" and not "also". The correct version of this sentence would be: Merchants Stroganovs Not only boiled salt, but also mined iron and copper in their lands

This is how you can: (variants of the second part are given in brackets).

1) not only ... but also (and and; but even; and yet; and besides); not only not ... but (but rather, rather; on the contrary, on the contrary); not only; 2) not that ... but (a; simply; even, not even); even ... not that; not even ... not that; not even ... especially not;

3) moreover ... also; not only that ... also; little of; moreover, more than that; worse than that; and even.

7.6.3 In sentences with homogeneous members there is a generalizing word.

It must be taken into account that all homogeneous members must be in the same case as the generalizing word.

The grammatically correct sentence would be: I forgot about everything: about anxieties and sorrows, about sleepless nights, about sadness and longing. . The word [about] "everything" is generalizing, it is in the prepositional case. All OCs are in the same case.

Failure to comply with this rule is a gross violation. syntactic norm: gifts:crossbows, sables and ornaments.

In this sentence, the generalizing word “gifts” is in the genitive case, and all homogeneous members (“crossbows, sable and jewelry”) are in the nominative case. Therefore, this sentence is incorrect. Correct option: Soon the nobleman began to inspect the brought gifts: crossbows, sables and ornaments.

7.6.5 Using different syntactic elements of a sentence as homogeneous members

There is a strict grammatical norm, prescribing which elements can and cannot be combined into homogeneous members.

We list the cases in which this rule is violated.

If the proposal is combined into homogeneous

- form of the noun and the infinitive form of the verb: I love chess and swimming, I like to embroider and needlework, I'm afraid of the dark and being alone and similar;

- different forms of the nominal part of the predicate: sister was upset and worried, she was younger and kinder and similar;

- participial phrase and subordinate clause: The main characters of the story are people who are not afraid of difficulties and who are always true to their word.; I do not like people who change their attitude and who do not hide it. and similar;

Participle and participle turnover: Loving their work and striving to do it well, the builders have achieved excellent results and similar;

that is - grammar mistake. Note that such violations are very common in written work, therefore, like the entire task 7, this part is of great practical importance.

The following types of errors occurred in assignments prior to 2015.

7.6.4 Different prepositions may be used for homogeneous terms.

In one row of OC, when listing, it is possible to use prepositions, for example: in theatre, and on the exhibition VDNKh, and on theRed Square. As you can see, this sentence uses prepositions in and on the, and that's right. It would be a mistake to use the same preposition for all the words in this series: During my three stays in Moscow, I visited and in theater, and exhibition VDNH, and Red Square. You can't be "in VDNKh" and "in Red Square." So the rule is: you cannot use a common preposition for all members of the series if, in terms of meaning, this preposition does not fit at least one of the SPs.

Example with an error: Crowds of people were everywhere: on the streets, squares, squares. Before the word "squares" it is necessary to add the preposition "in," since this word is not used with the preposition "on". Correct option: Crowds of people were everywhere: in the streets, squares, squares.

7.6.6 Connection in one row of specific and generic concepts

For example, in a sentence: The package contained oranges, juice, bananas, fruits a logical error has been made. "Oranges" and "bananas" are specific concepts in relation to the word "fruit" (that is, common), therefore, they cannot stand with it in the same row of homogeneous members. Correct option: The package contained juice and fruits: bananas, oranges.

Another error example: Adults, children and schoolchildren came to the meeting with the famous artist. The words "children" and "schoolchildren" cannot be made homogeneous.

7.6.7 The use of logically incompatible concepts in one series of homogeneous terms

For example, in a sentence The mourners walked with bags and sad faces a mistake is felt: “faces” and “bags” cannot be homogeneous.

Such intentional violation can act as a stylistic device: Only Masha, heating and winter did not sleep(K. G. Paustovsky). When the frost and mother allowed him to stick his nose out of the house, Nikita went to wander around the yard alone.(A.N. Tolstoy). Only if this is acceptable for a work of art of the level of Tolstoy or Chekhov (they are not on the exam, they can joke, play with words!), Then such humor will not be appreciated either in written works or in task 7.

C) not-right-vill-noe in-string-e-preposition with oblique speech in preposition 1 for-key-cha-is-sya in that that mixed direct speech with oblique vein. For direct, unions “like, what” and place-name “he” are not needed; for cos-ven-noy - superfluous "how"

Since we don’t know if this qi-ta-ta is accurate, we will use it as a true-on-pi-sa-niya only indirectly speech, leaving in quotes the very you-say-zy-va-nie.

Let's bring the correct pi-sa-nie: M. Gorky wrote about A.S. Push-ki-not that __ he “stole the strength for a native song and a fairy tale with the brilliance of his ta-lan-ta!”.

7.9 INCORRECT SENTENCE CONSTRUCTION WITH ANOTHER SPEECH

In this task, students' ability to correctly build sentences with quotations and indirect speech is checked: out of 9 sentences on the right, you need to find one that contains an error.

The rules below will deal with quoting and indirect speech, these are very close, but not the same units.

In everyday life, especially often in oral speech, we often use the transfer of someone's words on our own behalf, the so-called indirect speech.

Sentences with indirect speech are complex sentences consisting of two parts (the words of the author and indirect speech), which are connected by conjunctions what, as if to, or pronouns and adverbs who, what, what, how, where, when, why etc., or a particle whether.

For example: I was told that it was my brother. She demanded that I look into her eyes and asked if I remembered minnows, our little quarrels, picnics. We talked about how the birds I caught live.

Sentences with indirect speech serve to convey someone else's speech on behalf of the speaker, and not the one who actually said it. Unlike sentences with direct speech, they convey only the content of someone else's speech, but cannot convey all the features of its form and intonation.

Let's try to restore sentences: from indirect speech we will translate into sentences with direct speech:

I was told that it was my brother. - They told me: "It was your brother."

She demanded that I look into her eyes and asked if I remembered minnows, our little quarrels, picnics. - She said: "Look into my eyes!" And then she demanded: “Do you remember minnows, our meetings, our quarrels, picnics? Do you remember?

A friend asked: “How do the birds you caught live?”

As can be seen from the examples, the sentences coincide only in meaning, but the verbs, pronouns, and conjunctions change. Let us consider in detail the rules for translating direct speech into indirect speech: this is very important both for writing an essay and for completing task 7.

7.9.1 Basic rule:

when replacing sentences with direct speech with sentences with indirect speech, special attention should be paid to the correct use of personal and possessive pronouns, as well as related verbs, since in indirect speech we convey other people's words on our own behalf.

7.9.2 There are a number of additional rules

a) If direct speech is a declarative sentence,

what. Example: The secretary replied: "I complied with the request." – The secretary replied that he complied with the request. Pronoun changed!

b) If direct speech is an interrogative sentence,

then when replacing it with a subordinate clause, the role of subordinating conjunctions is performed interrogative pronouns, adverbs, particles who stood in direct question. A question mark is not used after an indirect question. Example: "What did you manage to accomplish?" the teacher asked the students. The teacher asked the students what they managed to do. Pronoun changed!

c) When in direct speech - an interrogative sentence there are no interrogative pronouns, adverbs, particles,

when replacing it with an indirect one, a particle is used for communication whether. Example: "Are you correcting the text?" the secretary asked impatiently. The secretary asked impatiently if we were correcting the text. Pronoun changed!

d) If direct speech is an exclamatory sentence with a call to action,

e) Particles and words that are not grammatically related to the members of the sentence

(addresses, interjections, introductory words, complex sentences) and contained in direct speech, are omitted when replacing it with indirect speech. Example: “Ivan Petrovich, make an estimate for the next quarter,” the director asked the chief accountant. The director asked the chief accountant to draw up an estimate for the next quarter.

7.9.3. Special citation rules.

When writing essays, it often becomes necessary to quote either the desired fragment of the source text, or to quote the statement from memory, organically including the quote in the sentence. There are three ways to introduce a quote into your speech:

1) using direct speech, in compliance with all punctuation marks, for example: Pushkin said: “All ages are submissive to love” or “All ages are submissive to love,” Pushkin said.. This is the easiest way, but it is not always convenient. Such proposals will meet as true!

2) using subordinate clause, that is, using unions, for example: Pushkin said that "all ages are submissive to love". Pay attention to the changed punctuation marks. This way no different from the transmission of indirect speech.

3) a quote can be included in your text using introductory words, for example: As Pushkin said, "all ages are submissive to love".

Note that in Quote can't be changed.: what is enclosed in quotation marks is transmitted absolutely exactly, without any distortion. If necessary, include in your text only part of the quotation are used special characters(ellipsis, different kind brackets), but this is not relevant to this task, since there are no punctuation errors in task 7.

Let's consider some features of quoting.

a) How to avoid an error if there is a quote with a pronoun?

On the one hand, quotes cannot be changed, on the other hand, a pronoun cannot be left. If you just insert a quote, there will be errors: Napoleon once remarked that " I I can lose this battle, but I can't lose a minute". Or like this: In his memoirs, Korolenko wrote that he always " I I saw undoubted intelligence in the face of Chekhov.

Both proposals require:

firstly, replace the pronoun I with OH, exclude the pronoun from the quote:

secondly, to change the verbs, connecting them with new pronouns and also to exclude from the quote, so we know that nothing can be changed.

With such changes, quotes will certainly “suffer”, and if we can keep the second sentence in this form: Korolenko wrote that he always "saw in the face of Chekhov undoubted intelligence", then Napoleon's statement cannot be saved. Therefore, we boldly remove the quotes and replace the quote with indirect speech: Napoleon once remarked that he can lose this battle, but not maybe lose a minute.

b) Of particular note are cases of erroneous combination of two ways of introducing a quote into a sentence,

which causes a grammatical error. As we already know, a quotation can be entered either as a subordinate clause or with the help of introductory words. Here's what happens when two methods are combined:

Wrong: According to Maupassant, what"Love is as strong as death, but as fragile as glass".

Right: According to Maupassant, "love is as strong as death, but as fragile as glass."

Wrong: As P. I. Tchaikovsky stated, what"Inspiration is born only from work and during work".

Right: As P. I. Tchaikovsky stated, “inspiration is born only from labor and during labor.”

Thus, we formulate the rule: when using introductory words, the union is not used.

c) In the works of students there are also cases when a quote is introduced using introductory words,

Wrong: According to Antoine de Saint-Exupery: “Only the heart is vigilant: you cannot see the most important thing with your eyes.”

Right: According to Antoine de Saint-Exupery, “only the heart is vigilant: you cannot see the most important thing with your eyes.”

Wrong: According to L. N. Tolstoy: “Art is highest manifestation power in man.

Right: According to Leo Tolstoy, "art is the highest manifestation of power in man."

D) on-ru-she-ing the connection between the sub-le-zha-shchim and the say-zu-e-my in preposition 6 is in the fact that I say-zu-e- my “ude-la-li” is in the plural, although the sub-le-zha-schee “ad-mi-ni-stra-tion” is in the singular. With a sub-le-zha-schema, there are clarifying members (you-de-le-na kur-si-vom), but they do not affect the number of say-zu-e-mo- go.

Let's bring the faithful to the pi-sa-nie: Ad-mi-ni-stra-tion of the school, first of all, director and head teacher.

7.3. Agreement of the predicate with the subject

INTRODUCTION

Subject - main member suggestions, which is consistent with its predicate according to the laws of grammar.

The subject and predicate usually have the same grammatical forms of number, gender, person, for example: Clouds are rushing, clouds are winding; Invisible moon Illuminates the flying snow; The sky is cloudy, the night is cloudy.

In such cases, we can talk about the agreement of the predicate with the subject. However, the correspondence of the grammatical forms of the main members of the sentence is not necessary, there may be an incomplete correspondence of the grammatical forms of the main members: My whole life has been a guarantee of a faithful date with you.- correspondence of number forms, but different forms of gender; Your destiny is endless chores- inconsistency of number forms.

The grammatical connection of the main members of the sentence is considered as coordination. This grammatical connection is wider and freer than agreement. It can be entered different words, their morphological properties do not have to match each other.

When coordinating the main members of the sentence, the problem arises of choosing the forms of the number of the predicate, when the gender / number of the subject is difficult to determine. This section of the "Reference" is devoted to consideration of these issues.

7.3.1. In a complex sentence, pronouns act as subjects

If in a sentence (and not necessarily in NGN!) a pronoun is used as a subject, then you need to know a number of rules that prescribe how to correctly coordinate the predicate with it.

A) If the subject is expressed by the pronouns WHO, WHAT, NOBODY, NOTHING, SOMEONE, SOMEONE, WHOEVER, then the predicate is put in the singular form: For example: [Those ( who neglect the opinions of others) risk being left alone].

EXAMPLE 1 (Whoever comes), [everyone will know].

EXAMPLE 2 [No one knew (that the lesson was postponed).]

EXAMPLE 1 (Whoever comes, [everyone will know].

EXAMPLE 2 [No one knew (that the lesson was postponed).]

B) If the subject is expressed by a pronoun in plural TE, ALL, the predicate is put in the plural form. If the subject is expressed by pronouns in singular THAT, TA, TO, the predicate is put in the singular form. For example: [ THOSE (who graduated with honors) are more likely to enter a university free of charge].

This proposal is built on the following model:

[Those (who + the predicate), ... the predicate ...]. And this is the most common model in which it is proposed to find an error. Let's analyze the structure of a complex sentence: in the main sentence, the pronoun “those” is the subject, pl. h; "have" -predicate, pl. This is in line with rule B.

Now attention to the subordinate clause: “who” is the subject, “finished” is the predicate in the singular. This is in accordance with rule A.

Consider sentences with a grammatical error:

EXAMPLE 1 [Everyone (who purchased tickets at the box office) must independently check in for the flight].

EXAMPLE 2. [Those (who have seen the northern lights at least once) will no longer be able to forget this extraordinary phenomenon].

EXAMPLE 3. [Those (who are planning a vacation for the summer) buy tickets in the spring].

Here are the corrected versions:

EXAMPLE 1 [Everyone (who purchased tickets at the box office) MUST check in for the flight on their own].

EXAMPLE 2. [Those (who have seen the northern lights at least once) will no longer be able to forget this extraordinary phenomenon].

In examples 1 and 2, the error is easy to see: it is enough to throw out the subordinate clause. In the following example, the error often goes unnoticed.

EXAMPLE 3. [Those ( who are planning a vacation for the summer) buy tickets in the spring].

C) If the subject is expressed by the phrase ONE OF .., EACH OF ..., NONE OF .. then the predicate is put in the singular form. If the subject is expressed by the phrase MANY FROM ..., SOME FROM ..., ALL FROM .. then the predicate is put in the plural form. For example: [None of those (who won a prize) wanted to go to the republican competition].

Consider sentences with a grammatical error:

EXAMPLE 4 [Many of those (who have been to Mikhailovsky Park) were amazed at the size of the old estate trees].

EXAMPLE 5 [Each of us (who has been to similar situation), certainly thought about ways out of it].

EXAMPLE 6 [Each of the parties (which presented its project) defended its advantages over other projects].

Here are the corrected versions:

EXAMPLE 4 [Many of those (who have been to Mikhailovsky Park) were amazed at the size of the old manor trees].

EXAMPLE 5 [Each of us (who has been in a similar situation) certainly thought about ways out of it].

EXAMPLE 6 [Each side, (who presented her project), defended its advantages over other projects].

D) If the sentence has a turnover of WHO, AS NOT .., the predicate is put in the singular form male. For example: Who, if not parents, SHOULD teach children the ability to communicate?

This turnover can be considered as clarifying, see other examples in clause 7.3.3, part B.

Consider sentences with a grammatical error:

EXAMPLE 7 Who, if not we, should worry about the cleanliness of our cities?

EXAMPLE 8 Who, if not your mother, taught you a model of endurance and love of life?

Here are the corrected versions:

EXAMPLE 7 Who, if not us, should worry about the cleanliness of their cities?

EXAMPLE 8 Who, if not your mother, taught you a model of endurance and love of life?

7.3.2 Predicate coordination with subject, expressed word or combination of words with the meaning of quantity

When coordinating the main members of the sentence, the problem arises of choosing the forms of the number of the predicate, when the subject points to many objects, but appears in the singular.

A) The role of the subject is the collective name of nouns and words close to them in meaning.

Collective nouns designate a set of homogeneous objects or living beings as an indivisible whole: FOLIAGE, DUBNYAK, ASPEN, CHILDREN, STUDENTS, TEACHER, PROFESSORIES, PEASANTS. They have the form of only the singular, are not combined with quantitative numbers and with words denoting units of measure, but can be combined with the words a lot / little or how much: LITTLE RELATIONS, A LITTLE LEAVES, A LOT OF MOSHKORA.

The words PEOPLE, PACK, ARMY, GROUP, CROWD can also be attributed to them in terms of the meaning of collectiveness; THOUSAND, MILLION, HUNDRED; TROIKA, PAIR; DARKNESS, DEEP, LOTS AND OTHERS

The subject, expressed by a collective noun, requires the predicate to be set only in the singular form:

For example: The children frolicked in the courtyard of the house; young people often take the initiative.

The subject expressed by a noun like GROUP, CROWD also requires setting the predicate only in the singular form:

For example: A group of festival participants shared their impressions; a trio of horses rushed under the windows

Consider sentences with a grammatical error:

EXAMPLE 1. Within three recent years the leadership of the Central and regional markets have repeatedly filed complaints with higher organizations.

EXAMPLE 3. A couple of lovers were sitting on a bench.

Here are the corrected versions: 

EXAMPLE 1. Over the past three years, the leadership of the Central and regional markets have repeatedly filed complaints with higher organizations.

EXAMPLE 3. A couple of lovers were sitting on a bench.

B) The subject is a collective noun with a quantitative meaning

The nouns MOST, MINORITY, PLENTY, SERIES, PART, despite the grammatical form of the singular, denote not one object, but many, and therefore the predicate can take not only the form of the singular, but also the plural. For example: On this pond ... an innumerable number of ducks were hatched and kept; Many hands are knocking on all the windows from the street, and someone is breaking on the door. Which form would you prefer?

The subject, which has in its composition the collective nouns MOST, MINORITY, MULTIPLE, ROW, PART, requires the predicate to be set only in the singular form, if:

a) there are no dependent words from the collective noun

Part went on vacation, and part remained; many scatteredAxis, a minority remainedAxis

b) the collective noun has a singular dependent word

With a subject that has in its composition the words MOST, MINORITY, PLENTY, SERIES, PART, you can put the predicate both in the plural form and in the plural, if the noun has a dependent word in the plural:

Most students passed the test; a number of participants demonstrated excellent knowledge.

Some of the books were purchased for the library; a number of objects delivered ahead of schedule

The plural of the predicate in such constructions usually indicates the activity of the actors.

Consider the cases in which the use of the plural of the predicate is allowed and permissible.

Nevertheless, it must be taken into account that the singular form of the predicate is more in line with the tradition of book-writing styles and the use of the plural form of the predicate must be clearly justified. An error in the tasks of the exam will be the unreasonable setting of the predicate in the plural.

Consider sentences with a grammatical error:

EXAMPLE 4 Most of the tasks were not done correctly enough.

EXAMPLE 5 A number of events will be held in Yelets, Voronezh, Orel.

EXAMPLE 6 A lot of poems by this author were published in the series "Children's Library"

Here are the corrected versions: 

EXAMPLE 4 Most of the tasks were not completed correctly. Predicate in the form passive communion indicates passivity. actor.

EXAMPLE 5 A number of events will be held in Yelets, Voronezh, Orel. Events cannot act on their own, so the predicate must be used in the singular.

EXAMPLE 6 Many poems by this author were published in the Children's Library series.. The predicate in the form of a passive participle indicates the passivity of the actor.

C) The combination of a numeral with a noun acts as a subject

With a subject expressed by a quantitative-nominal combination, the same problem arises: in what number is it better to use the predicate. In Chekhov we find: Some three soldiers stood side by side at the very descent and were silent; He had two sons. L. Tolstoy preferred the following forms: Three peasants and a woman sat in the sleigh; Two feelings fought in his soul - good and evil.

Note: In the USE assignments, such cases do not occur, since there is a high possibility of incorrect classification of the type of error - such cases can be attributed to an error in the use of a numeral. Therefore, we confine ourselves to remarks general and note the most serious mistakes made in written works.

With a subject that has in its composition a numeral or a word with the meaning of quantity, you can put the predicate both in the plural form and in the singular:

Five years have passed; ten graduates have chosen our institute

Use different forms depends on the meaning that the predicate brings to the sentence, activity and generality of action is emphasized by the plural. number.

The predicate is usually put in the singular if

In the subject, a numeral ending in "one":

Twenty-one students of our institute are included in the city's volleyball team, but Twenty-two (three, four, five...) students of our institute are members of the city's volleyball team

If the message fixes this or that fact, the result, or when the message is given an impersonal character:

Twenty-two suits sold; Three or four students will be transferred to another class.

The predicate is expressed by a verb with the meaning of being, presence, existence, position in space:

Three kingdoms stood before her. The room had two windows with wide window sills. Three windows of the room faced north

Wrong: Three kingdoms stood. There were two windows with wide window sills in the room. Three windows of the room faced north.

A single number, which creates an idea of ​​a single whole, is used to designate a measure of weight, space, time:

Thirty-four kilograms of drying oil will be required to paint the roof. Twenty-five kilometers remained until the end of the journey. A hundred years have passed. However, already, it seems, eleven o'clock struck. Five months have elapsed since

Wrong: Thirty-four kilograms of drying oil will be required to paint the roof; Twenty-five kilometers remained until the end of the journey. A hundred years have passed. However, already, it seems, eleven o'clock has struck. Five months have elapsed since then.

With a subject expressed by a complex noun, the first part of which is the numeral sex-, the predicate is usually put in the singular, and in the past tense - in the middle gender, for example: half an hour will pass, half a year has flown by, half the city participated in the demonstration.

Wrong: half the class participated in the competition, half an hour will pass

7.3.3 Coordination between subject and verb separated from each other

Between the subject and the predicate there may be secondary separate members sentences specifying members, subordinate clauses. In these cases, it is necessary to strictly observe general rule: the predicate and the subject must agree.

Let's consider special cases.

A) Coordination of the subject and the compound nominal predicate in a sentence built according to the “noun. is a noun.”

Note for the teacher: this type of error in the SPP is noted in his manual "How to get 100 USE points" (2015) by I.P. Tsybulko, while in the "Handbook of Spelling and Literary Editing" by D. Rosenthal, such an error is called a construction shift in a complex sentence.

The nominal part of the predicate in a sentence built according to the noun + noun model should be in nominative case.

For example: [First, (what you should learn) is highlighting the basis of the sentence].

The grammatical basis of the main clause consists of the subject first and predicate selection. Both words are in the nominative case.

And this is what it looks like proposal with an error: [The first (what should be learned) is the selection of the basis of the sentence]. Under the influence of the subordinate clause, the predicate received Genitive, which is an error.

Consider sentences with a grammatical error:

EXAMPLE 1 [The main thing (what you need to pay attention to) is the ideological side of the work]

EXAMPLE 2 [The last thing (to stop) is the composition of the book]

EXAMPLE 3 [The most important (what is worth striving for) is the fulfillment of a dream]

Here are the corrected versions:

EXAMPLE 1 The main thing (what you need to pay attention to) is the ideological side of the work]

EXAMPLE 2 [The last (what should be stopped) is the composition of the book]

EXAMPLE 3 [The most important (what is worth striving for) is the fulfillment of a dream]

B). Coordination of the predicate with the subject, in which there are clarifying members.

In order to clarify the subject, sometimes clarifying (explaining turns), connecting members of the sentence, separate additions are used. Yes, in the proposal Competition Jury, including representatives of a cosmetic company selected from the audience, could not determine the winner the highlighted turnover is a connecting one(in other manuals it is called clarifying).

The presence in the sentence of any member that specifies the meaning of the subject does not affect the number of the predicate. Such turns are attached with the words: EVEN, ESPECIALLY, INCLUDING, FOR EXAMPLE; EXCEPT, INCLUDING, INCLUDING and the like. For example: Editorial Board, including the editors of the Internet portal, is in favor of reorganization.

Consider sentences with a grammatical error:

EXAMPLE 4. The entire team, including dancers and jugglers, spoke out in favor of participating in the competition.

EXAMPLE 5. The whole family, and especially the younger children, was looking forward to the arrival of their grandfather.

EXAMPLE 6. The school administration, including members of the parent committee, supported holding an extended parent meeting.

Here are the corrected versions:

The mistake is easy to see if you throw out the subordinate clause.

EXAMPLE 4 The whole team, including dancers and jugglers, spoke out in favor of participating in the competition.

EXAMPLE 5 The whole family, and especially the younger children, was looking forward to the arrival of their grandfather. 

EXAMPLE 6 The school administration, including members of the parent committee, advocated holding an expanded parent meeting.

7.3.4 Coordination of the predicate with the subject, the gender or number of which is difficult to determine.

For the correct connection of the subject with the predicate, it is very important to know the gender of the noun.

A) Certain categories or groups of nouns have difficulty in determining the gender or number.

gender and number indeclinable nouns, abbreviations, words-conventional names and a number of other words are determined by special rules. For the correct coordination of such words with the predicate, you need to know their morphological features.

Ignorance of these rules cause errors: Sochi became the capital of the Olympics; cocoa is cold; shampoo is over; the university announced the enrollment of students, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported

Need: Sochi has become the capital of the Olympics; cocoa has cooled down; shampoo is over, the university announced a set of students, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported

Nouns, the gender/number of which is difficult to determine, are discussed in the section. After studying the above material, you will be able to successfully complete not only task 6, but also 7.

Consider sentences with errors

EXAMPLE 1. The parcel was sent at the beginning of the week.

In the sentence, the word "package" is the subject, female. The predicate "was sent" is in the masculine. This is mistake. We fix: The parcel was sent at the beginning of the week

EXAMPLE 2. The tulle harmonized perfectly with the color of the upholstered furniture.

In the sentence, the word "tulle" is the subject, masculine. The predicate "approached" is in the feminine. This is mistake. We fix: The tulle harmonized perfectly with the color of the upholstered furniture.

EXAMPLE 3. The UN has met for another meeting.

In the sentence, the word "UN" is the subject, feminine (organization). The predicate "gathered" is on average. This is mistake. We fix: The UN met for a regular meeting.

EXAMPLE 4. Foreign Ministry announced participation in the meeting

In the sentence, the word "MIA" is the subject, it does not change. When decrypted, we get "Ministry

Foreign Affairs". At the same time, we recall that given word belongs to the masculine gender. The predicate "reported" is on average. This is mistake. We fix: The Foreign Ministry announced its participation in the meeting.

EXAMPLE 5. Moskovsky Komsomolets published a rating best universities countries.

In the sentence, the phrase "Moskovsky Komsomolets" is the subject, this is a conditional Russian name, a masculine word, like the word "Komsomolets". The predicate "printed" is in the feminine. This is mistake. We correct: Moskovsky Komsomolets published a rating of the best universities in the country.

EXAMPLE 6. Tbilisi attracts tourists .

In the sentence, the word "Tbilisi" is the subject, it is an invariable code name. It is a masculine word, like the word "city". The predicate "attract" is plural. This is mistake. We fix: Tbilisi attracts tourists. 

B) Coordination of the predicate with the subject with the meaning of the profession

With a masculine noun denoting a profession, position, rank, etc., the predicate is put in the masculine gender, regardless of the gender of the person in question. For example: the teacher made a report, the director called an employee

FROM proposals will be wrong, in which the teacher made a report, the director called an employee .

Note: if there is a person's own name, especially a surname, in which the indicated words act as applications, the predicate is consistent with the proper name: Teacher Sergeeva gave a lecture. More on this point below, 7.3.5

7.3.5 Subject is appendix

An application is a definition expressed by a noun that agrees with the word being defined in the case: city ​​(what?) Sochi, bird (what?) hummingbird, website (what?) "ReshuEGE"

As a general rule, the predicate agrees with the subject, and the presence of an application in the form of a different kind or number in the last does not affect agreement.

For example: The plant, this grand colossus, seemed to be a ship of unheard-of dimensions too. The suggestion would be wrong. The plant, this grandiose colossus, it seemed, was also a ship of unheard of dimensions. .

If the subject has an application, then, first of all, it is necessary to find out which of the words is the subject and which is the application, and then put the predicate in one way or another.

Table 1. Application and subjects are written separately. When combining a generic name and a specific or specific and individual subject, the word denoting a broader concept is considered, and the predicate is consistent with it. Here are some examples:

Application is a common noun:

the rose flower smelled marvelously; the oak tree has grown; kharcho soup is cooked

Application - proper noun

the Dnieper river has flooded; newspaper "Moscow's comsomolets" came out; Barbos dog barked

Exception: last names of people. In pairs, engineer Svetlova reported, Doctor of Science Zvantseva came out, head teacher Marina Sergeevna noted proper nouns are subject.

Table 2. The subject is compound noun, forms terms, in which one part resembles an application in function. In these cases, the leading (defined) word is the word that expresses a broader concept or specifically designates an object.

The predicate agrees with the first word, both words change

an armchair-bed stood in the corner; the factory-laboratory fulfilled the order; invoice issued in a timely manner; theater-studio brought up a lot of actors; attention was attracted by a table-poster; romance song became very popular

The predicate agrees with the second word, the first word does not change:

cafeteria is open(dining room is a broader concept); vending machine open(in this combination, the part of the diner acts as the bearer of a specific meaning); raincoat tent lay(tent in the form of a raincoat, not a raincoat in the form of a tent); "Roman-newspaper" was published in large circulation(newspaper is a broader name).

EXAMPLE 1 ice cream cake cut into equal pieces .

The compound noun "ice cream cake" after the main, more general word "cake" is masculine, therefore: Ice cream cake cut into equal pieces

EXAMPLE 2 The story "Children of the Underground" was written by V.G. Korolenko. .

The conditional name is an application, so you need to coordinate the predicate with the word "story": The story "Children of the Underground" was written by V.G. Korolenko.

EXAMPLE 3 A tiny dog, quite a puppy, suddenly barked loudly. .

The subject is the word "dog", it is feminine, therefore: A tiny dog, quite a puppy, suddenly barked loudly.

EXAMPLE 4 Yesterday the young teacher Petrov gave his first lecture. .

The subject is the surname "Petrova", it is feminine, therefore: Yesterday, the young teacher Petrova gave her first lecture.

A) The sentence has homogeneous subjects and one predicate

If the predicate refers to several subjects, not connected by unions or connected by a connecting union, then the following forms of coordination apply:

The predicate after homogeneous subjects is usually plural:

Industry and Agriculture in Russia are steadily developing.

The predicate that precedes homogeneous subjects usually agrees with the nearest of them:

In the village there was a clatter and screams

If there are divisive or opposing unions between the subjects, then the predicate is put in the singular.

Experienced fear or instant fright in a minute seems both funny, and strange, and incomprehensible. Not you, but fate is to blame.

Consider sentences with errors:

EXAMPLE 1 Passion for sports and a tough daily routine did their job. .

Two subjects, the predicate comes after a series of homogeneous members, so it must be in the plural: Passion for sports and a tough daily routine did their job.

EXAMPLE 2 Not reason, but fear suddenly took possession of me. .

Two subjects, with the union a, the predicate must therefore be in the singular: Not reason, but fear suddenly took possession of me.

EXAMPLE 3 In the distance, the familiar noise and loud voices could be heard. .

Two subjects, the predicate is in front of a number of homogeneous members, therefore it should be in the singular: In the distance there was a familiar noise and loud voices.

B) The combination in the subject of a noun in the nominative case with a noun in the instrumental case (with the preposition c) like “brother and sister”

The setting of the predicate in the plural or singular depends on what meaning is given to the phrase: joint action or separate.

When combined in the subject of a noun in the nominative case with a noun in the instrumental case (with the preposition c) like “brother and sister”, the predicate is put:

in plural, if both named objects (persons) act as equal action producers(both are subject);

Pasha and Petya had been waiting for their mother's return for a long time and were very worried.

in the singular, if the second object (person) accompanies the main producer of the action ( is an addition):

The mother and child went to the clinic. Nicholas with younger sister came last.

Only in the singular in the presence of the words TOGETHER, TOGETHER:

My father left the city with his mother.

Only in the singular with the subject expressed by the pronoun I, YOU

I will come with a friend; you had a fight with your mom

Consider sentences with errors:

EXAMPLE 1 My brother and his friends went to the beach. .

Rule point 7.8.1 TYPE3

7.8. USE OF GENERAL PARTICIPLES. ERRORS IN USE

INTRODUCTION

Participial turnover is a gerund with dependent words.

The gerund always denotes an additional action that occurs in parallel with the main one, for example: a man walked (the main action), waving your arms(additional, what while doing); the cat fell asleep (main action), tucking its paws (additional action, what did you do?)

The participles answer the question what do you do? (imperfect view) and having done what? (perfect view). Along with this question, you can also ask questions as? how? for what purpose? and the like. A gerund always denotes a sign of an action, that is, it describes how the main action takes place.

We classify all types of possible grammatical errors when using adverbial phrases.

7.8.1 Participle turnover in a sentence with a subject

The general rule for using adverbial phrases is as follows: the gerund and the predicate must denote the actions of the same person, that is, the subject. This person performs two actions: one main, the second additional. The participle should easily be replaced by the second verb: sat down, laid out textbooks - sat down and laid out; looked, smiling - looked and smiled.

TYPE 1. A gerund and a verbal predicate expressed by a verb without the postfix -sya

Consider sentences with a grammatical error.

Slipping on ice I was picked up by a guy next to me.

Passing under the house, an icicle almost fell on me.

In each of the sentences, there were two characters: in the first one, someone slipped and someone picked it up; in the second: someone passed and someone almost fell down. But due to an error in construction, it turns out that the guy picked up, slipping; the icicle nearly fell off as it passed.

With this construction, the participle is erroneously assigned to one actor, and the predicate to another, which violates the basic rule. To avoid mistakes, you need to ensure that the participle and the predicate refer to the same person.

When I slipped on the ice, I was picked up by a guy next to me.

When I was walking under the house, an icicle almost fell on me.

TYPE 2. The gerund refers to the predicate in the form of a short passive participle

Writing a poem "Death of a Poet", the fate of Lermontov was determined.

Analyzing the text, I was quite right in determining its size.

As in type 1, the gerund and predicate refer to different persons. Due to a construction error, it turns out that fate was determined by writing ; the size is determined having analyzed. The predicate is a short passive participle.

If the predicate is expressed by a short participle, then the subject itself does not perform the action, something is done with it. With this form of the predicate gerund, there can be no.

Here are the revised proposals:

When Lermontov wrote the poem "The Death of a Poet", his fate was determined.

When I analyzed poetic text, I was quite right to determine its size.

TYPE 3. The participial turnover is attached to the predicate- reflexive verb in a passive meaning with a postfix Xia

Consider sentences with a grammatical error.

Usually, creating your work, it expresses Xia author's attitude to life and people.

Having received an education, students direct Xia senior master for practice.

As in type 2, the subject in such a sentence does not actually perform the action itself: attitude expresses Xia(by someone); displays Xia(by someone); direct Xia(by someone). But a if there is no action, then there can be no additional, additional, expressed by a gerund. We replace the adverbial turnover with a subordinate clause.

Here are the revised proposals:

Usually, when a work is created, the author's attitude to life and people is expressed in it. Or: Creating a work, the author always expresses his attitude to life and people.

When students receive their education, they are directed by the senior master to practice.

7.8.2. Participle turnover in a sentence without a subject

It often happens that the subject performing both actions may not be formally expressed, that is, there is no subject in the sentence. In this case, we are talking about one-part proposals. It is these types that cause the greatest difficulty in finding an error.

TYPE 4. Participle turnover in an impersonal sentence (except for type 7)

Consider sentences with a grammatical error.

Sending a rather important telegram I didn't have enough money.

He was sad.

There is no subject, the acting person is expressed by a pronoun to me(this is the dative case). The use of participles in impersonal sentences is unacceptable. It is possible: either to make a subordinate clause from the adverbial clause, or to make the usual one from the impersonal, with the subject.

The exception is sentences with an infinitive verb, see type 7.

Here are the revised proposals:

When I sent a rather important telegram, I did not have enough money.

Refusing to experiment he experienced sadness.

TYPE 5. Participle turnover in an indefinite personal sentence

Consider sentences with a grammatical error.

Having received a good education, Griboyedov was sent as the secretary of the diplomatic mission to Persia.

Didn't finish the report, the head of the department was offered to go on a business trip.

There can be no adverbial turnover with the subject, if it is not defined. This situation occurs in indefinite personal sentences with the verb in the past tense plural.

Who directed? who received? who suggested? who did not finish the report? Unclear. We replace the turnover with a subordinate clause or restructure it so that it is clear who received an education and who completed the report.

Here are the revised proposals:

When Griboedov received a good education, he was sent as secretary of a diplomatic mission in Persia.

Without finishing the report, the head of the department received an offer to go on a business trip.

7.8.3. Participle turnover in a sentence without a subject. Permitted tricks.

Due to the fact that the assignments may also contain correct sentences with adverbial phrases, we consider it important to place a table with such examples and such rules that are not found in erroneous ones. Everything in this table is allowed.

TYPE 6. The adverbial phrase refers to a verb in the imperative mood

When crossing the street, carefully follow the traffic.

Having received the task for the adverbial turnover, check if it contains a request, order or advice.

There is no subject in sentences. But it is allowed to use participial phrases in such sentences where the verb is used in the imperative mood: follow, go, write, search and so on. It turns out that both the turnover and the predicate refer to one person, to whom we advise to do something. Easy to substitute a pronoun you: you follow by passing; you check when you receive it.

TYPE 7. The adverbial turnover refers to the infinitive

Consider sentences without errors.

walking along autumn forest , it is pleasant to inhale the intoxicating aroma of fallen leaves.

When handing over the work, it should be carefully checked.

Given that there is no subject (impersonal sentence) it is permissible to use a participial turnover if it refers to the infinitive: walking, inhale; reading, sit; dreaming, dozing; napping, dreaming.

Not all manuals allow this rule: in some of them, the infinitive must be required, it is possible, it is necessary, others follow (the so-called modal words ). In any case, sentences like: rewriting, it should be noted; having begun, it is necessary to finish; having received, it is necessary to do, will be ERROR-FREE.

TYPE 8. Participle turnover in a definite-personal or generalized-personal sentence

Consider sentences without errors.

going for family table at the parents' house, we always remember grandmother's pies and tea with viburnum and mint.

Planning your upcoming vacation carefully calculate the family budget.

There is no subject, but the sentence definitely personal, it is easy to substitute the pronoun we. You can turn! It refers to the implied person: we remember when we gather; we calculate by planning.
