A compound predicate consists of two parts: bundles and the verbal or nominal part.

Compound verb predicate

A compound verb predicate consists of a connective part and an indefinite form of the verb. Answers questions what does it do? what to do? what have you been doing? The linking part can be:

phase verb (start, continue, become, quit):

I started/continued/finishedread this book.

modal in a word (be able, able, want, wish, try, intend, dare, refuse, think, prefer, get used to, love, hate, beware):

He wants to enroll in the Institute. I long could not with them meet.

Some linguists distinguish a separate group of connectives called emotional.

Compound nominal predicate

A compound nominal predicate is a predicate that consists of nominal part and linking verbs.

The most commonly used is the linking verb. be. Less commonly used, but other linking verbs are possible.

A link in a sentence can be omitted.

The nominal part of the compound predicate is expressed in different ways:

adjective: weather was good;

noun: book - true friend;

comparative degree adjective: he has character harder become;

short form of the passive communion: grass bevelled;

short adjective: evening quiet;

adverb: mistake was there;

numeral: two by two - four;

pronoun: this notebook my;

phraseological combination: is he sat in a puddle;

idiom: is he wasthe talk of the town .

Secondary members of the sentence

Definition

Definition(or attribute ) - in syntaxRussian language secondary sentence member denoting a sign, quality, property of an object. Usually expressed adjective or communion. Answers the questions what?, which?, what?, what?, what?, whose?, whose?, whose?, whose?. When parsing a sentence, it is underlined with a wavy line.

Classification

Definitions can be linked to nouns way harmonization(agreed definitions) and methods of control and adjacency ( inconsistent definitions).

Agreed Definitions

Consistent with the member being defined in the form ( case, number and gender in units. h.), are expressed by adjectives, participles, ordinal numerals,pronouns.

« Large trees grow near paternal house"

"AT our class no lagging behind students"

"He decides this task second hour"

In modern in Russian an agreed definition in a sentence most often precedes the name being defined (see the above examples). The reverse order (an agreed definition follows the name being defined) is allowed, but is usually used in special cases:

in traditional proper names and special terms: "Petropavlovsk- Kamchatsky”, “Ivan Great", "name noun"," heather ordinary»;

in poetic works, the word order of which is influenced by the requirements of the form ( the size,rhyme etc.):

Baron in cloisterssad Satisfied, however, was fate, Pastora flatteryfunerary , coat of arms tombsfeudal And epitaphbad .

- A. S. Pushkin. Message to Delvig

Inconsistent definitions

They do not agree with the word being defined and are expressed by nouns in oblique cases, the comparative degree of adjectives, adverbs, infinitives, subordinate clause.

"The rustle of the leaves birches»

"He liked the evenings at grandma's house»

"Choose a fabric more fun with a pattern»

"Eggs for breakfast soft-boiled»

"They were united by the desire see you»

"House where I live»

In Russian, inconsistent definitions in a sentence almost always follow the name being defined, exceptions are found only in poetic works:

Yes, I remember, though not without sin, From the Aeneid two verses. He rummage didn't have hunting In the chronological dust of the Genesis of the earth: But days gone by jokes From Romulus to the present day He kept in his memory.

Circumstance

Circumstance in syntaxRussian language secondary sentence member, depending on predicate and denoting a sign of action or a sign of another sign. Usually circumstances are expressed by nouns in indirect cases or by adverbs, although some groups of circumstances can be expressed participle turnover. They can also be expressed by an infinitive, a noun in the oblique case with and without a preposition, and even by some phraseological units.

According to the meaning that is clarified by the questions, the circumstances are divided into the following main types:

Circumstances	What do they mean	Questions	Examples
		When? How long? Since when? How long?	Will come tomorrow. Once upon a time icy winter time I came out of the forest (N. Nekrasov). Sunrise to sunset the streets are seething with life (E. Trutneva)
Mode of action and degree		How? How? In what degree?	Work passionately
	Location, direction, path	Where? Where? Where	On the image
	Reason, occasion	Why? On what basis? From what? For what reason?	Didn't go due to illness
	The purpose of the action	What for? For what purpose? For what?	Leave to rest
Comparisons			Behind the stove, a cricket was ticking like clockwork (K. Paustovsky).
	Action condition	Under what condition?	Postpone your trip if the weather worsens
	Condition, contrary to what	Against what? Despite what?	Let's do it despite the difficulties

AppendixAppendix- This definition, expressed by a noun consistent with the word being defined in the case, for example: A golden cloud spent the night on the chest of the cliff -giant . Applications can indicate various qualities of an object, indicate age, nationality, profession and other signs, for example:

Grandmother- old lady looks out the window.

River Don spilled

Underlined, like the definition, with a wavy line.

A proper name, when combined with a common noun, can be an application when it does not name a person. For example, in a sentence

The Uralmash district is located in the north of Yekaterinburg.

the application will be the word "Uralmash". If the proper name refers to a person:

Cosmonaut Tereshkova went into space

then the proper name is the subject, with which the predicate agrees (in the feminine gender), and the common noun astronaut is an application.

If next to the application - a common noun there is a definable word, which is also a common noun, they are usually combined with a hyphen: Magic carpet,ascetic monk.

When a common noun is followed by a proper noun, the hyphen is omitted ( boxer Ivanov), but there are combinations in which the common noun follows the proper name, then there is a hyphen between them: Mother Volga,Moscow river,Ivan the Fool,nightingale the robber.

The application, as a rule, is consistent in case with the word being defined. There are exceptions in which the application can be put in a case other than the word being defined: these are names - proper names and nicknames.

If the application before the main word can be replaced by a single-root adjective, then the hyphen is not put after the application. For example: “old watchman” (the application is an old man, the main word is a watchman, the old man can be replaced with “old” - an old watchman), and an old watchman (a hyphen is put because the application and the main word are common nouns).

In this chapter:

§one. The main members of the sentence are subject and predicate

Subject

The subject is the main member of the sentence, independent of the other members of the sentence. The subject answers the questions I.p.: who? what?

In a sentence, the subject is expressed in different ways.

How is the subject expressed?

The subject can be a word or phrase.

Most often the subject is expressed:

1) noun: mother, laughter, love;
2) words that have the function of a noun: nouns derived from adjectives or participles: sick, manager, meeting, ice cream, canteen;
3) pronouns: we, nobody, anything;
4) numerals: three, five;
5) indefinite form of the verb: Smoking is harmful to health;
6) a phrase, if it has a meaning:
a) compatibility: husband and wife, duck with ducklings, me and my girlfriend;
b) uncertainty or generality: Something unfamiliar seemed in the distance. One of the guests covered the window;
c) quantities: 2 million people live in the city;
d) selectivity: Any of them could become the first. Most of the students coped with the control;
e) phraseological unit: The white nights have come.

Predicate

Predicate- this is the main member of the sentence, denoting what is being said about the subject that is the subject. The predicate depends on the subject and agrees with it. It answers different questions: what does the object do? what happens to him? what is he? who is he? what it is? what is the subject? All these questions are varieties of the question: what is being said about the subject? The choice of a specific question depends on the structure of the sentence.

The predicate contains the most important grammatical characteristic of the sentence: its grammatical meaning.

grammatical meaning- this is a generalized meaning of the sentence, which characterizes its content in terms of two parameters:

• reality-irreality,
• time.

reality-irriality expressed by the mood of the verb.

• Verbs in the indicative mood are typical for statements that reflect the real situation: It's raining., It's getting light.
• Verbs in the imperative and in the conditional mood are characteristic of sentences that reflect not a real, but a desirable situation. Don't forget your umbrella! If only it didn't rain today!

Time- an indicator of the correlation of the situation with the moment of speech. Time is expressed by the verb forms of the present, past and future tenses.

Simple and compound predicate

The predicate in two-part sentences can be simple and compound. Compounds are divided into compound verbal and compound nominal.

Simple predicate- this is a type of predicate in which the lexical and grammatical meanings are expressed in one word. A simple predicate is always a verb. It is expressed by the verb in the form of one of the moods. In the indicative mood, verbs can stand in one of three tenses: present - past - future.

He knows the verses by heart.

indicative mood, present. time

He knew the verses by heart.

indicative mood, past time

He will learn the verses by heart.

indicative mood, bud. time

You will memorize these verses.

imperative mood

In a circle, you would learn poems by heart.

conditional mood

Compound predicate- this is a type of predicate in which the lexical and grammatical meanings are expressed in different words.
If in a simple verbal predicate the lexical and grammatical meanings are expressed in one word, then in a compound one they are expressed in different words. For example:

Suddenly, the baby stopped singing and started laughing.

Stopped singing, started laughing - compound predicates. The words sing, laugh are called action, while expressing the lexical meaning. The grammatical meaning is expressed by the words: stopped, started

Compound predicates are verbal and nominal.

Compound verb predicate

A compound verbal predicate is a predicate consisting of an auxiliary word and an indefinite form of the verb. Examples:

He finished working.

I want to help you.

Auxiliary words are divided into two groups:

1) verbs with the meaning of the beginning-continuation-end of the action, for example: start, finish, continue, stop, stop;

2) verbs and short adjectives with the meaning of possibility, desirability, necessity: to be able, to be able, to want, to want, to desire, to strive, to try; glad, ready, must, obligated, intends.

In a compound verbal predicate, auxiliary words express the grammatical meaning, and the indefinite form of the verb expresses the lexical meaning of the predicate.

In the event that a short adjective serves as an auxiliary word, then it is used with a bunch. The link is the verb to be. Here are the relevant past tense examples:

I was so glad to meet you!

In the present tense, the word is is not used, it is omitted: the link is zero, for example:

I'm so glad to meet you!

In the future tense, the link to be is put in the future tense. Example:

I will be glad to meet you.

Compound nominal predicate

A compound nominal is a predicate consisting of a linking verb and a nominal part. Linking verbs express the grammatical meaning of the predicate, and the nominal part expresses its lexical meaning.

1. The linking verb to be expresses only grammatical meaning. She was beautiful yesterday. In the present tense, the link is zero: She is beautiful.

2. Linking verbs to become, to become, to become, to be, to be considered, to seem, to be called, to appear: The house from afar seemed like a point.

3. Linking verbs with the meaning of movement or location in space: come, arrive, sit, lie down, stand: Mother returned tired from work., Mother sat thoughtful, sad.

In all these cases, linking verbs can be replaced by the verb to be. The sentences will be synonymous, for example:

Mother sat pensive, sad. Synonymous: Mother was thoughtful, sad.

He was considered the most talented of us. Synonymous: He was the most talented of us.

With such a replacement, of course, all the nuances of the meaning are not transmitted. Therefore, the language offers various linking verbs that emphasize different shades of meaning.

Combinations of a linking verb with auxiliary words are possible: She dreamed of becoming an actress.

The nominal part of the compound nominal predicate

The nominal part of the compound nominal predicate is expressed in Russian in different ways, and, paradoxically, not only by names. Although the most common and characteristic is the use of names as a nominal part of a compound nominal predicate: nouns, adjectives, numerals. Naturally, names can be replaced by pronouns. And since the role of adjectives and participles is similar, participles can also act along with adjectives. Adverbs and adverbial combinations are also possible in the nominal part. Examples:

1) noun: Mother is a doctor., Anastasia will be an actress.,

2) adjective: He grew up strong and handsome.,

3) numeral: Twice two four.,

4) pronoun: You will be mine., Who was nobody, he will become everything ("International"),

5) communion: The composition turned out to be lost., The daughter was finally cured.,

6) adverb and adverbial combination: The shoes were just right., The trousers turned out to be just right.

The nominal part can contain not only separate words, but also syntactically indivisible phrases. Examples:

She ran into the room with a cheerful face.
She sat with thoughtful eyes.

You can’t say: She ran in with a face., She sat with her eyes., Because phrases with a cheerful face and thoughtful eyes are syntactically indivisible - this is the nominal part of the compound nominal predicate.

There are 3 types of verb connectives

1) the verb-bundle "to be", standing in any tense and mood. This bundle in its pure form is devoid of its lexical meaning. It can only indicate the grammatical meaning of mood, tense, person, gender, or pure.

I was here = was. The summer was rainy.

2) semi-significant verbal connectives, their lexical meaning is weakened by verbs with a phase meaning, with a modal meaning, as well as a semi-significant meaning: to be considered, to appear, to be called, to seem, etc.. The child appears to be sick.

3) fully significant verbs. Usually verbs of motion or state. Katya returned from a joyful walk.

Linking verb function in SIS:

1) express modality and syntactic tense

2) Connect the predicate with the subject

3) Semi-significant and full-significant connectives are involved in the formation of the lexical meaning of the predicate.

1) adjective in full or short form in positive, comparative or superlative degree.

He was sick.(s.p.) He seems sick. (Semi-significant copula + instrumental)

2) a noun, most often in the nominative case, but can be in instrumental and other case forms. My brother is a teacher. Brother is a teacher.

3) the nominal part of speech can be expressed by the participle. Most often, passive past participles are used in the marginal form. The picture is written.

4) the nominal part can be expressed as a numeral. Two times two is four.

5) can be expressed as an indivisible phrase. The boy was ten years old.

6) pronouns of various categories. What is the date today? Petrov is the one who came yesterday.

7) an adverb with the meaning of a qualitative characteristic of an object. The windows were wide open.

Compound Predicate

It consists of three or more components, they are built according to certain schemes.

Two-part sentences have

1) short adjective + (linking verb) + infinitive. He was supposed to arrive yesterday.

2) short adjective + (linking verb) + verb "to be" + name/participle.

The answer had to be correct.

3) verb + "to be" + noun/adjective.

He dreamed of being a pilot.

4) verb + infinitive (with modal/phase semantics) + infinitive.

He wanted to keep learning.

Types of compound predicates in a one-part sentence.

1) KS + (verb-link) + infinitive. It was good to have a rest in the summer.

2) KS + (linking verb) + be + adjective. For this you need to be very careful.

The secondary members of the sentence do not express the relationship of predicativity.

Definition. Communication type - agreement. Definitions are divided into agreed and inconsistent. Agreed definitions are associated with the main word by the connection of agreement and are expressed in Russian by adjectives, participles, pronouns-adjectives and ordinal numbers. Inconsistent definitions are associated with the main word through control or adjunction. The method of control links definitions that are expressed by prepositional-case or case forms of nouns.

Father's house. Inconsistent definition, as Expressed noun in the genus. case.

Polka-dot dress. Inconsistent definition, expressed by him. noun in v.p.

There are also definitions expressed by the infinitive, adverb and comparative.

House opposite. Definition expressed by an adverb, adjunction, inconsistent. adverb.

Inconsistent definitions, as a rule, are syncretic and are in the zone of transition.

House by the road. Circumstance and addendum.

An atypical definition in Russian is an application.

Appendix- structural-semantic version of the definition.

Application features:

1) expressed by a noun.

2) defines the subject, i.e. gives it a different name.

Sister Valeria. Valeria is the main word, sister is the application.

3) can stand before and after the word being defined.

4) is associated with a noun with a special type of connection - the parallelism of forms.

Since the connection between the noun being defined and the application is not formally expressed, the problem of distinguishing arises - where is the main word, and where is the application.

The semantics of words is of great importance in the distinction.

1) if there is a generic and specific concept, then the application will be the word that names the specific concept.

Cranberry.

2) if one of the words is literary, and the other is dialectal or slang, then the application is a word with a narrower scope of use.

Sheep snipe. Snipe-literary-main.

3) if one of the words specifies, clarifies or narrows another concept, then it will be an application.

Road engineer. Road builder is narrower in semantics, therefore it is an application.

4) if one of the words has a qualitative-evaluative value, then it will be an application.

Handsome deer. Handsome app.

5) if one of the words is an animate proper noun, and the other is a common noun, then the common noun will be an application.

Artist Kramskoy. Kramskoy - the main thing.

6) if a proper name is inanimate and next to it is a common noun, then the application will already be a proper name.

Moscow city. The city is the main thing.

7) the application is a word indicating a profession, nationality, kinship, age, etc.

Old surgeon.

8) a separate member of the proposal will always be an application.

The surviving brother, Ivan, was making something.

Addition - a grammatically dependent minor member of a sentence that denotes a grammatically dependent subject and, as a rule, is expressed by a noun or a noun pronoun.

The addition is associated with the main word by the type of connection control, usually comes after the word being defined and denotes the object on which the action is directed.

Additions are divided into direct and indirect. Direct and indirect objects are distinguished in the same way as direct and indirect object values.

Object value can be combined with

Book reading. R.p. indirect addition.

The smell of dried grass rose from the ground. Walked from the ground. From what? Addition is indirect. Where? From the earth. Circumstance value.

In fact, the object can be expressed by any part of speech, including the infinitive. If the addition is expressed by the infinitive, then this is an adjunction.

Forests teach to understand nature. What do they teach? Understand.

Circumstance- a grammatically dependent minor member of a sentence that denotes various signs of an action or the degree of manifestation of a sign. It is expressed, as a rule, by an adverb or a proposed case form of a noun.

According to the method of communication, this is adjoining or weak control. More often it is in postposition in relation to the word on which it depends, but it can also be in preposition. Most often it depends on the verb, less often - on a qualitative adjective, adverb or category of state.

Types of circumstances:

1) mode of action. Denote a characteristic or way of performing an action. Answer the questions: how? how? how? The drums thumped hurriedly. Depends on the verb.

2) measures and degrees. Denote a quantitative characteristic of an action or feature. Answer the questions: To what extent? in what degree? how many? The room is very quiet. Quiet to what extent?

3) places. Indicates the place of action, direction or path of movement. Answers the questions: where? where? where? We lived in the forest. Running in the forest is good for health.

4) time . Indicates the duration of the action and its duration. Answers the questions: when? how long? since when? How long? I leave tomorrow.

5) causes. Identifies the reason for the action. Answer the questions: why? for what reason? Because of the rain, everyone stayed at home. Prepositional case form of a noun, management. Syncretic.

6) goals. Describe the purpose of the action. They answer the question: why? for what purpose? Went to fish.

7) Conditions. Denote the conditions under which an action or state is possible. Answers the question: under what conditions? If desired, this is easy to do. Often combined with a circumstance of time or with an objective meaning. I will go there only with you.

8) Concessions. Indicates a condition against which an action or state is possible. Answers the questions: no matter what? contrary to what? Despite the rain, the competition took place. Derivative suggestion.

One-part sentences

Only one main member of the sentence and it expresses the CG of the sentence (modality, syntactic tense, predicativity). One-part sentences are structurally complete sentences,

Classification of one-part sentences.

According to the morphological expression of the main member, all one-part sentences are divided into verbal and nominal. Among the verbs, there are: 1) definitely personal 2) indefinitely personal 3) generalized personal 4) impersonal 5) infinitive

Among nominal sentences stand out: 1) nominative 2) genetive 3) vocative

verb sentences.

Personal one-part sentences. In them, the main member indicates the active producer of the action. At the same time, the producer of the action is not named in order to focus attention on the action itself.

I love the storm in early May.

The main member of the sentence performs three functions:

1) points to the subject.

2) expresses the modal-temporal plan.

3) expresses lexical meaning.

Depending on the nature of the subject, personal sentences are divided into definitely personal, indefinitely personal and generalized. The definite subject is expressed in the first or second person form of the verb. The indefinite subject is expressed in the form of the 3rd person plural.

There is a knock on the door.

Definite subject - 1st and 2nd person

Indefinite subject - 3 person plural, just plural

AT vaguely personal sentences, the subject can be thought of as definite if the subject of the action is not known, or it can be thought of as indefinite even if the subject is known.

AT generalized personal sentences, the subject can

generalized personal sentences are distinguished on the basis of the semantics of the subject, and in form they coincide with definitely or indefinitely personal sentences.

Tears of sorrow will not help. They don't wave their fists after a fight.

non-personal one-part sentences: impersonal and infinitive.

Impersonal offer - a one-part sentence, the main member of which expresses an action or state that exists independently of the activity and will of the subject. The subject can be named, but cannot be in the nominative form. I'm cold. It's getting light.

Impersonal offers.

impersonal proposals- This is the most common type of one-part sentences. These sentences are the most diverse, both in structure and semantics. The main member of an impersonal sentence can have a different expression:

1) verbal form coinciding with the 3rd person singular or cf.

Howls in the pipe.

3) a short passive participle of the neuter gender. The room is smoky.

4) the word "no" in combination with the genitive case of a noun can act as a predicate. I have no time.

5) modal or phase verb in impersonal form + dependent infinitive. I wanted to sleep. It began to get dark.

Infinitive sentences- this is a special structural-semantic type of one-part sentences in which the main member of the sentence is expressed by an independent infinitive. Do not overtake you crazy three. Modality in such sentences is expressed by the very form of the infinitive and intonation and is differentiated with the help of particles. They express the meanings of obligation, necessity, impossibility, inevitability. Be rain. Infinitive meanings with a particle would have the meaning of desirability and caution. Wouldn't be late! Swim would!

Similar information.

Compound nominal predicate (grade 8), along with the subject, is one of the main members of the sentence. As you know, there are three types of predicates: simple verbal predicate, compound verbal predicate, compound nominal predicate. A simple verb is expressed by one full-valued word or a related phrase. The compound verb predicate has two parts: the infinitive and the verb. What is a compound nominal predicate? To begin with, we note that it is studied in the 8th grade, it consists of two parts: a bundle and a nominal part.

Compound nominal predicate (8th grade)

A link in a compound nominal predicate

Bundle expresses modality and category of time. Most often, the following verbs can act as a link:

• The verb to be in all categories of tense. Do not forget that this verb in the present tense turns into a zero connective;
• verbs become, appear, become, etc.;
• verbs with a categorical meaning of an action or process: arrive, return, stand, leave, reach, swim, fly away, come, etc .;

• Katerina is excited and energized by the unforeseen circumstances that have arisen on her way home. I'll be the first just for the sake of being better than you. If you become a good boy, I might take you to the circus with me.
• It was getting cold outside, so we returned to the house. You turned out to be a two-faced person, because you wanted to quarrel everyone. It becomes fun from those memories of bygone days.
• Leave this doctor healthy. My husband will arrive tomorrow by plane via Moscow on a direct flight.

Types of ligaments

The compound nominal predicate has several types of connections, which are markedly different from each other:

In past and future tenses, the verb to be expressed clearly. Same context: she was a doctor with a lot of experience but little ambition and she will be a doctor with a lot of experience but little ambition. Compound nominal predicates with an abstract connective to be are highlighted in the sentences.

A few words about the form of the subjunctive mood, when using it, the particle would be added to the abstract connective to be. Suggestion: she would be a doctor with a lot of experience but little ambition.

• Ligament semi-abstract, is represented by the verbs to appear, seem, turn out, appear, become, etc. The peculiarity of semi-significant connectives is that they carry not only a grammatical component, but also help in expressing the meaning of the nominal part of the predicate. Suggestion: she turned out to be a doctor with a lot of experience, but little ambition.
• Ligament significant, expressed in words of action, movement, any process. For example, we include such verbs as sit, lie down, hear, think, read, walk, breathe, run, swim, wash, undress, speak, etc. These connectives express specific lexical and grammatical meanings. Suggestions: Geese in the yard walked important, as if the owners of the whole farmstead. He served as an ensign on the border for many years.

The nominal part of the compound nominal predicate

In the role of the nominal part are:

• Summer days are getting shorter. Today you look better than yesterday. I'll be later, you don't have to wait for me for dinner. (adjective in comparative degree).
• She is the decoration of this evening (noun in the instrumental form).
• Aunt Masha seemed very sad to me. This summer has been unusually cold. The flowers you gave for the holiday were very beautiful. (adjective in a positive degree).
• This child is sometimes completely unbearable. The man living on the floor above is extraordinarily rich. Honey collected from your apiary is so sweet. (abbreviated adjective).
• All the mistakes made while writing the dictation were mine (possessive pronoun).
• I suddenly became afraid. It was rather strange (adverb).

Sentences with a compound nominal predicate

Thus, the compound nominal predicate is studied in grade 8, along with other types of predicate: simple verb and compound verb. Its feature is the presence of two parts: ligament and nominal part. The problem of modern school education lies in the fact that sometimes students do not have time to fully understand the essence of the types of predicates in the classroom, as a result, it is impossible to find and determine one of the main members of the sentence. You can deal with this problem in different ways, for example, work with a tutor or watch accessible and simple video tutorials on the Internet.
