A sentence consisting of one grammatical stem. What is a grammatical stem

The grammatical basis of the sentence. The concept of the main members of a sentence

The grammatical basis of a sentence consists of a subject and a predicate.

The grammatical basis expresses the grammatical meanings of a sentence. They are associated with the meanings of moods and tense of the predicate verb.

The troops are moving to the front.

(The action actually happens and takes place in the present tense).

Yesterday he came to see us.

(The action actually happened, but in the past tense).

You should talk to your mother, Ivan!

(The action is not realized in reality, but is desired by the speaker).

The subject and predicate are called the main members of the sentence, because everything minor members in a sentence directly or indirectly distribute them.

Let us show the dependence of the minor terms on the main ones in the following diagram:

The astonished Varenukha silently handed him an urgent telegram.

Subject as a member of a sentence. Forms of subject expression

The subject is the main member of the sentence, which denotes the subject of speech and answers the questions of the nominative case who? or what?

The subject in Russian can be expressed in different ways, sometimes in “unusual” forms. The following table will help you correctly determine the subject.

Basic ways of expressing the subject.

Part of speech in subject position
Noun in i. p.	Language reflects the soul of the people.
Pronoun in i. p.	He left. Who was there? This is right. This is my brother (for questions: who is this?) The house, which was barely standing, belonged to a forester. (Here note the subject in subordinate clause.) The sparks that flew from the fire seemed white. (Here, pay attention to the subject of the subordinate clause.) Someone has come. Everyone fell asleep.
Infinitive	Being honest is half the battle. To understand means to sympathize. Smoking is harmful to health.
Combination of words (one of which is in i.p.)	He and I visited there often. Two clouds float across the sky.
A combination of words without and. p.	About an hour passed.

Predicate as a member of a sentence. Types of predicate

The predicate is the main member of the sentence, which is connected with the subject by a special connection and has a meaning expressed in the questions what does the subject of speech do? what's happening to him? what is he like? what is he? Who is he? etc.

The predicate in Russian can be simple or compound. A simple (simple verbal) predicate is expressed by one verb in the form of some mood.

Compound predicates are expressed in several words, one of them serves to connect with the subject, while the others carry the semantic load. In other words, in compound predicates the lexical and grammatical meanings are expressed in different words.

(Verb was Colonel

(Verb started serves to connect with the subject, to the word work the semantic load of the predicate decreases.)

Among compound predicates, a distinction is made between compound verbal and compound nominal predicates.

Learn more about the types of predicates. Simple verb predicate

A simple verbal predicate is expressed by one verb in the form of some mood.

It can be expressed by the following verb forms:

Present and past tense forms of the verb.
Future tense form of the verb.
Forms of the conditional and imperative mood of the verb.

We emphasize that in the case of you will be expected tomorrow, the simple verb predicate is expressed compound form future tense of the verb to wait.

Compound verb predicate

A compound verbal predicate consists of two components - an auxiliary verb, which serves to connect with the subject and expresses the grammatical meaning of the predicate, and an indefinite form of the verb, expressing its main lexical meaning and carrying the main semantic load.

(Here started is an auxiliary verb, and gnawing is an indefinite form of a verb that carries a semantic load.)

(Here I don’t want is an auxiliary verb, and to offend is an indefinite form of a verb that carries a semantic load.)

The role of an auxiliary verb can be a combination of some short adjectives (must, glad, ready, obligated, etc.) and an auxiliary verb-linking be in the form of one of the moods (in the present tense this linking is omitted).

(here the copula will be omitted).

So, let’s imagine the structure of a compound verbal predicate with the formula:

CONDITION VERB SKAZ. = AUXILIARY VERB + UNDEFINED FORM

Compound nominal predicate

A compound nominal predicate consists of two components: a copular verb that serves to connect with the subject and expresses the grammatical meaning of the predicate, and a nominal part that expresses its main lexical meaning and carries the main semantic load.

(Here the copular verb becomes, and the nominal part is expressed by the adjective viscous.)

(Here the copular verb will be, and the nominal part of the predicate is expressed by the noun handball player.)

Let's imagine the structure of a compound nominal predicate with the formula:

CONDITION NAME SKAZ. = CONNECTION. VERB + NAME PART

The nominal part of a compound nominal predicate is expressed by the following parts of speech: noun, adjective (full and short, different forms of degrees of comparison), participle (full and short), numeral, pronoun, adverb, word of the state category, verb in the indefinite form.

In the Russian language, at least four main types of one-part sentences can be distinguished.

Basic types of two-part sentences

Form of expression of subject and predicate	Examples
The subject is expressed by a noun or a pronoun in the nominative case, the predicate - by a specific form of the verb.
The subject is expressed by a noun or pronoun in the nominative case, the predicate - by a noun in the nominative case. In the past and future tenses, a linking verb appears and the case of the predicate changes to instrumental.
The subject is expressed by the indefinite form of the verb or a phrase based on it, the predicate - also by the indefinite form of the verb. Particles are possible between the subject and the predicate, this means.
The subject is expressed by the indefinite form of the verb or a phrase based on it, the predicate - by an adverb.
The subject is expressed by the indefinite form of the verb or a phrase based on it, the predicate by a noun in the nominative case or a phrase based on it. In the past and future tenses, a linking verb appears and the case of the predicate changes to instrumental.
The subject is expressed by a noun in the nominative case, the predicate - by the indefinite form of the verb or a phrase based on it. A linking verb appears in the past and future tenses.
The subject is expressed by a noun in the nominative case, the predicate - by an adjective or participle (full or short) in the nominative case. In the past and future tenses, a linking verb appears in the predicate.

Knowing the main types of two-part sentences, it is easier to find grammatical basics in them.

Basic types of one-part sentences

	Typical form and meaning
Nominative (nominal) sentences	These are sentences where the main member is expressed by a noun or a pronoun-noun in the form of the nominative case. This main member is considered the subject and indicates that there is no predicate in the nominative sentence. Nominative sentences usually report that some phenomenon or object exists (are) in the present.	Large area in the city. Here's a bench.
Definitely personal proposals	The predicate is expressed by a verb in the 1st or 2nd person form. The ending of the verb in these cases clearly indicates the person and number of the pronoun (I, we, you, you). There is no need to use these pronouns as subjects.
Vaguely personal proposals	The predicate is expressed by a verb in the 3rd person plural form (in the present and future tense) or in the plural form (in the past tense). In such sentences, the action itself is important, and the doer is either unknown or unimportant to the speaker, so there is no subject in them.
Impersonal offers	These are sentences in which there is not and cannot be a subject, since they denote actions and states that are thought to occur “by themselves,” without the participation of an active agent. According to their form, these sentences are divided into two types: with a verbal predicate and with a predicate - a word of the state category. The verb predicate is expressed by a verb in the 3rd person form singular(in the present and future tense) or in the neuter singular form (in the past tense). This role is usually played by impersonal verbs or verbs in impersonal use. The verb predicate can also be expressed by the infinitive form of the verb.	To avoid freezing, she captured jacket
	In addition, the predicate in an impersonal sentence can be the word No.	The owners are not at home.

Secondary members of the sentence: definition, addition, circumstance

All members of the sentence, except the main ones, are called secondary.

The secondary members of the sentence are not included in the grammatical basis, but extend (explain) it. They can also explain other minor members.

Let us demonstrate this with a diagram:

According to their meaning and role in the sentence, minor members are divided into definition, addition and circumstance. These syntactic roles are recognized by questions.

Appreciated (to what extent?) high- circumstance.

Appreciated (what?) canvases- addition.

Canvases (whose?) his- definition.

Supplement as part of a sentence. Types of add-ons

A complement is a minor member of a sentence that answers questions of indirect cases (i.e., all except the nominative) and denotes the subject. The object usually extends the predicate, although it can also extend other members of the sentence.

I enjoy reading (what?) magazines. (Here the addition logs extends the predicate.)

Reading (what?) magazines - exciting activity. (Here the journals complement extends the subject.)

Objects are most often expressed by nouns (or words in the function of nouns) and pronouns, but can also be represented by an indefinite form of a verb and complete phrases.

During the campaign he shaved with (what?) a bayonet. (Here the complement bayonet is expressed by a noun.)

This is understandable only to connoisseurs of (what?) beauty. (Here the complement of beauty is expressed by an adjective in the role of a noun.)

And I will ask you (about what?) to stay. (Here the complement to remain is expressed by the infinitive form of the verb.)

He read (what?) a lot of books. (Here the addition of many books is expressed by a combination that is integral in meaning.)

Additions can be direct or indirect.

Direct objects refer to transitive verbs and indicate the object to which the action is directly directed. Direct objects are expressed in the accusative case without a preposition.

I don’t know when I’ll see my relatives now (v.p.).

These furnaces used to melt steel (v.p.).

All other additions are called indirect.

Play the piano (p.p.).

I put the bread on the table (v.p. with a preposition).

I was forbidden to worry (expressed in the infinitive form of the verb).

REMEMBER!1)
the offer may be

therefore there will be no subject in it)
2) the main members can be homogeneous,

When identifying the subject, look for a word that indicates the producer of the action. And this word is only in the nominative case.

I don't like it.

While studying the Russian language, every student sooner or later encounters such a concept as grammatical basis. What is this? The grammatical basis is the “foundation” of a sentence or its main part, consisting of a subject and a predicate (sometimes a sentence consists of one or another part, that is, a subject or a predicate). One or more grammatical stems can occur in one sentence.

How to find a grammatical basis

Skills in finding the grammatical basis will help the student to place punctuation marks faster and more correctly and determine its meaning.

The grammatical basis and all its components can be determined with the help of correctly selected questions.

To correctly determine the grammatical basis, first read the entire sentence well and try to understand its essence. Conditionally divide the sentence into several parts according to its meaning. Then move on to defining the subject. Please note that some offers do not contain it. In this case, the search for a grammatical basis begins and ends with the search for a predicate. If you have an offer with two components, then immediately proceed to defining the subject. Here you need to be extremely careful, since the correct definition of the entire grammatical basis will depend on the definition of the subject.

Then move on to defining the predicate. To do this, ask a question from the subject. The predicate characterizes the action of an object, its property, etc.

Dependence of the grammatical basis on the type of sentence

A simple sentence contains only one grammatical stem, while a complex sentence contains two or more. A one-part sentence contains only one part of the grammatical basis (subject or predicate). In a two-part sentence, there is both a subject and a predicate.

Examples

To better understand the essence of the topic, let's give a few examples.

1. Clouds covered the sun.
   In this simple example Determining the grammatical basis is not so difficult. The subject is the word "clouds". It answers the question “what?” The predicate is the verb “closed,” which answers the question “what did they do?” Thus, the grammatical basis is the phrase “the clouds have closed.”
2. My aunt was in a hurry to go to work.
   IN in this case the subject is “my aunt” and the verb is “in a hurry.” So the grammatical basis is "my aunt was in a hurry"
3. That's how I was taught.
   In this case, there is no subject at the base, there is only the predicate “taught”. It will be the grammatical basis.

The grammatical basis is the core of a sentence, the correct definition of which will allow you to correctly determine the remaining members of the sentence, correctly place punctuation marks and determine the meaning of the text.

An educated person is distinguished, first of all, by his ability to competently express his thoughts both orally and on paper. In order to follow the rules of punctuation, you need to know everything about the main parts of the sentence.

The grammatical basis of a sentence (aka predicative) consists of the main members of the sentence, which are subject And predicate . Usually the subject is written out and highlighted with one line, and the predicate with two.

The article answers the most important questions:

1. How to find the grammatical basis of a sentence?
2. Which parts of a sentence form its grammatical basis?
3. What does the grammatical basis consist of?

The subject is a word that indicates the subject to which the predicate refers. For example: The sun came out from behind the mountains. The sun is the subject expressed by a noun. A wide variety of parts of speech can act as the subject.

The subject can be expressed not only in single words, but also in phrases.

• The combination of a noun in the nominative case with a noun in instrumental case.For example: Katya and Arina love to do figure skating.
• A pronoun, as well as a numeral and an adjective in the superlative degree. For example: The bravest came forward.
• A pronoun or noun in the nominative case combined with a participle or adjective. For example: Someone bad tore up her album with drawings.
• A combination of a numeral in the nominative case and a noun used in the genitive case. For example: Seven guys went out into the yard.

I wonder what the subjects might may even be a phraseological unit.

Predicate

The predicate is connected with the subject and answers questions such as “what does the object do?”, “what happens to it?”, “what is it like?” The predicate in a sentence can be expressed through several parts of speech:

Compound predicates

The predicate often consists of several words. Such predicates are called compound. Compound predicates can be verbal or nominal.

Composite verbal predicates are expressed in the following ways:

Compound nominal predicate may consist of:

• Linking verbs to be and short adjectives. For example: Today Margarita was especially beautiful.
• Verbs become, appear, be considered and other semi-nominal verbs combined with a noun. He finally became a doctor!
• Verbs that mean the state of an object. Marina works as a teacher.
• Verb combined with adjective in different forms.His dog was more beautiful others.

In a two-part sentence, both main members are present. However, there are also sentences in which only one main member is used. They are called one-component.

The subject of one-part sentences is most often a noun in the nominative case.

It can be expressed by means of a verb in its different forms.

In one-piece definitely personal in a sentence, the predicate is expressed by a verb in the first/second person, singular/ plural and present/future tense in the indicative mood or with a verb in the imperative mood. Today I'm going for a walk. Don't touch a dirty dog!

In a single-component indefinite-personal predicate, the verb is in the third person and plural, present, future or past tense in the indicative mood. Also, the predicate can be expressed by a verb in the imperative or conditional mood. There's a knock on the door! Let him call Aunt Dasha. If I had been informed earlier, I would not have been late.

IN generalized-personal In a sentence, the predicate is expressed either by a verb in the second person singular or plural, or by a verb in the third person and plural. This is how they now talk to visitors.

In one-piece impersonal The predicate is a verb in the third person singular and present or future tense. The predicate can also be a neuter verb in the past tense or conditional mood. I feel sick. It was getting dark.

It is important to remember that the number of grammatical stems in a sentence is not limited. How to determine the grammatical stem complex sentence? The grammatical basis of a complex sentence is just as easy to determine as the basis of a simple sentence. The only difference is their quantity.

Perhaps you have already been able to verify that even the lightest punctuation marks (at the end of a sentence) are not as easy to place as it immediately seems because it is necessary think about the meaning of sentences and text. And it’s even more difficult work on punctuation in the middle of a sentence. Here you need to think about what blocks the sentence consists of, where the boundaries of the blocks are, and then place punctuation marks in accordance with the rules. Don't be scared! We will deal with even the most complex cases, help you understand them and turn them into simple ones!

Let's start, perhaps, with main blocks – simple sentences , which may be part of a complex What does a simple sentence consist of? His heart is grammatical basis, usually consisting of subject And predicate. Around the grammatical stem are located minor members of the sentence, isolated and non-separated; included in the predicate group and the subject group.

The grammatical basis is the basis because the whole proposal rests on it. If you learn to find it quickly, it will be easy to place those necessary signs punctuation that will mark the boundary of simple sentences within a complex sentence. How should one reason?

Determine how many stems are in a sentence:

Is it difficult to find the grammatical basis of a sentence? Sometimes it's very simple: subject (who? or what?), predicate (what is he doing? what did he do?). But often there are more complicated cases.

Conclusion: one basis - a simple sentence; two or more basics – complex.

Try to determine the grammatical basis of the following sentences (see answers below).

1. Everything is clear to us, the masters.
2. Suddenly a “cuckoo” sound was heard from the little window of the bright room!
3. Your host is both nice and hospitable.
4. Everyone tries to get in with their own proposal.
5. The village where we played in the summer was a lovely place.
6. Evening. Forest. Long journey.
7. Our city is decorated with a wonderful park.
8. He who strives for victory will definitely win.

If you completed this job without errors, congratulations! If you come across mistakes, don’t be upset: they exist for this purpose, to cope with it and overcome them!

What mistakes could lie in wait for you here? Someone might have lost a subject, somewhere there was no predicate, in some sentence an object was squeezed in instead of a subject, in some cases members of a sentence that have no the slightest attitude to each other.

Is it really that scary? Of course not! But, if you find the grammatical basis incorrectly, you cannot see the blocks correctly, so it turns out that a simple sentence is mistakenly taken for a complex one, in complex ones the number of parts is incorrectly determined, which means that punctuation marks are arranged as they please.

How to find this insidious grammatical basis? You can first find the predicate, then the subject, or vice versa, just remember a few tips:

1) In order to find the subject, be sure to specify from the predicate double question: who? What? Then you You are unlikely to confuse subject and object.

Try this when determining the subject in the following sentences.

The captain saw the shore first.

The front of the dress was decorated with flowers.

If you asked a double question from the predicate, then you found the subjects captain And flowers.

2) In order to find the predicate, try asking questions: “What is happening? What does it say about the subject? What is this subject (subject)? What is he doing? (subject)"

Studentwas beautiful.

On the street freshly And windy.

For kids couldn't sit still on the spot.

Wonderful game– catching up!

3) From the reversal of the terms, the sum is changing. This means be careful about certain sentences when determining the grammatical basis.

Green city(one-part noun sentence).

The city is green(two-part sentence).

You have already seen that this happens when a sentence has only a subject or only a predicate (much more often). Such proposals are called one-piece. Be careful when working with such offers! It is in them often the complement is disguised as the subject in meaning. Then go back to our first clue, ask a double question– and everything will become clear.

Try to find the grammatical basis in these sentences.

To me cold But.

To him can't sleep.

To me I want to smilesnuggle.

Many people will say that these sentences have a subject and a predicate, that is, they are two-part. Then I can ask what is the subject? The answer may be - me, him. Then one more question: Where are the words I and HE in these sentences? There are none, there are other forms: me, him. And this is already not a subject, but an object. If you ask the question: Who? What?- everything will fall into place. The correct answer is: this one-part impersonal sentences. They do not and cannot have a subject, the predicate is in italics.

We hope that you will now have fewer problems determining the grammatical basis of a sentence!

Answers to the task.

1. EverythingIt's clear.
2. I heard"peek-a-boo"!
3. Masternice, hospitable.
4. Every tries to get in.
5. Villagewas adorable corner; Weplayed.
6. Evening. Forest. Further path.
7. Decoratespark. 8. Aspiringwill win.

Still have questions? Don't know how to find the grammatical basis?

Let's take a closer look at such a part of the grammatical basis as predicate. The easiest way, as it may seem, is to determine simple verb predicate. No wonder it’s called that - simple. This means that it is usually easier to find than all other types of predicate. Most often, as such a predicate we will find verb in the indicative mood.

Sun got up. Childrenwake up And are coming to school.Begins new beautiful day.

In these sentences it is really easy to define simple verbal predicates. However, there are points that need to be paid attention to when defining such a predicate. It can be cunning masquerade as a compound verb. Try to remember a few basic rules.

1. A verb can be predicated in any tense (present, past and future):

The day after tomorrow I will definitelyI'll read novel by L.N. Tolstoy's Anna Karenina.

My babywill study effortlessly.

You will certainlyyou will admire achievements of the students of this school.

Don’t be embarrassed that the sentences before you include predicates like b I will read, I will learn, I will admire. Yes, there is a predicate here consists of two verbs BUT it's just future tense form. Compare with the present and past tense forms: read, read; studying, studied; admire, admired.

Today I I'm reading

My babystudies effortlessly.

You admire achievements of the students of this school.

Yesterday I read novel by L. N. Tolstoy “Anna Karenina”.

My baby studied effortlessly.

You admired achievements of the students of this school.

2. A verb can be a predicate in any mood (indicative, imperative and conditional).

Don't be confused by the particles that help form shapes conditional and imperative mood(would, let, let, come on, let's, yeah). They do not turn a simple verbal predicate into a compound predicate, but they make it difficult for us to determine the type of predicate.

You told tell her the whole truth(indicative mood).

You I would tell tell her the whole truth(conditional mood).

You Tell tell her the whole truth (imperative). Let she will be happy.

3. The infinitive (the initial form of the verb) can also act as a simple verbal predicate.

I ride from the ice slide - and he followed me.

We work , and they rest.

4. A phraseological unit is not divided into parts, but is one member of a sentence.

Nikita like the wind blew away from the veranda.

Humanity is gradually goes crazy.

Now let's move on to consider compound verb predicate. It includes:

* main component– verb in initial form,

* auxiliary component- more often verb, but maybe short adjective or participle, adverb or adverbial phrase, noun, phraseological unit.

Compound predicates show a particular tendency to masquerade as other members of the sentence during parsing, to be incompletely detected, or to be completely lost. But we will figure this out too! Look at some clues.

1. The auxiliary verb in a compound verbal predicate has a specific meaning: beginning, continuation, end of action; opportunity, desire, evaluation of action. These could be words started, stopped, could, wanted, could, loved, was afraid, was wary, feared etc.

I Want Fine pass exams.

Henot afraid to experiment.

We beware of buying low quality products.

2. In this case, the main component will be expressed by the initial form of the verb ( infinitive), and not another part of speech.

Compare.

Shebecame an actress (compound nominal predicate).

She started dancing (compound verb predicate).

3. The auxiliary component can be a short adjective or participle, adverb or adverbial phrase, noun, phraseological unit, stable combination. The value of the auxiliary component is opportunity, desire, evaluation of action.

We always happy to help to our students (short adjective as a ligament).

I forced to reschedule classes the next day(short participle as a connective).

Helover of pranks teacher(noun as a connective).

Hunter was eager to track down handsome deer by all means(phraseologism as a connective).

4. Both actions must be performed one object (subject). Think about who is performing the actions, then you will not confuse simple and compound verbal predicates.

I asked grandma to read me a book.(The predicate is a simple verb, because I asked, and grandma will read).

Let's hope these tips help you when parsing a sentence and determining the types of predicate.

Good luck in learning Russian!

Still have questions? Don't know the types of predicates?To get help from a tutor, register.

Subject And predicate are in the closest almost “family” relationship - grammatical And semantic. The predicate is called that way because it tells, "says" about the subject. These members of the sentence carry the main meaning of any sentence.

Are there problems in the “relationship” between subject and predicate? Of course they do. First of all, this concerns compound nominal predicate. This predicate type, as you remember, consists of linking verb(auxiliary component) and noun part. Most often we find the verb in the role of a linking verb be. Usually in a compound nominal predicate he is present in past tense: was, was, was, were . For example: Distinctive feature professors was his love for his subject.

Present tense The linking verb is almost always omitted and the subject remains with the nominal part of the predicate. For example: Time is the best medicine.

Sometimes we can still find the verb be in the present tense. As a rule, this is a feature of scientific, bookish speech. For example: Predicatethere is one of the main members two-part sentence.

In ordinary, colloquial speech, linking verb be falls. It probably wouldn’t occur to anyone to say something like “I am a student high school" But the linking verb does not like to disappear without a trace; it often leaves its deputy In the role of such a deputy we can see dash. A dash is placed between the subject and the predicate if there is no linking verb, but sometimes before the predicate there are other words that can be “friendly” or “not friendly” with a dash. Remember a few tips.
