Possible difficulties	good advice
The wind tore wet and fragrant leaves from the birches and threw them into the grass.	Before us are two homogeneous rows (wet and odorous; plucked and thrown), the members of each of them are connected by a single union and. Commas are not needed in this case. The wind tore wet and odorous leaves from the birches and threw them into the grass.
You can make a mistake when arranging commas in the following case. He left himself only a saber and a pipe_ and his father’s gun. He then frowned displeasedly_ or frowned_ or pursed his lips.	Sometimes with a repeated union and (yes), or, or there is no union in front of the first member of a homogeneous series.

You can make a mistake when arranging commas in the following cases. He was respected by both friends and enemies. He was _ though old_ but strong.	With all double unions (both ... and ...; although ..., but ... and so on), a comma is placed between homogeneous members. Before the first part of the union, it is not needed.
It is possible that in this task there may be homogeneous or heterogeneous definitions, the distinction of which often causes difficulties.	See the syntax reference for Homogeneous Definitions.

Punctuation marks with homogeneous members
A comma is placed between homogeneous members in the absence of a union.
The wind rushed through the yards, pounded on the windows, burrowed into the leaves.
Answers should be complete, clear and concise.
In some sentences, words may be repeated for greater expressiveness. A comma is also placed between them, but they are not considered homogeneous members.
She walked and walked and finally came.
And he felt sorry, sorry for his passing life.
For homogeneous members connected by coordinating unions, there are the following punctuation rules:

Cases where homogeneous members are separated by a comma	Cases where homogeneous members are not separated by a comma
With single unions, a, but, but, yes (in the sense of but). Small spool but precious.	With single unions and, or, or, yes (in the meaning of and). There was the sound of the forest_ and the crackling of boughs in the fire. Inside groups of homogeneous members, connected in pairs by unions and, or, or, yes (in the meaning of and). He walked like this in summer and winter, autumn and spring.
With repeated unions and - and, neither - neither, then - then, not that - not that, or - or, either - either, yes - yes. Neither I nor my friend got tired.
With all double alliances: as - and, not only - but also, where - there and, as much - as far as, although - but etc. He was respected by both friends and enemies. Although he was old, he was strong.

Note! A repeating union can be located in different ways relative to a number of homogeneous members. Usually the union is placed in front of each member of a homogeneous series. In this case, a comma is placed between all homogeneous members, including after the first of them: He knew the work, and loved it, and knew how to do it. The stars either barely burned, then disappeared, then suddenly flashed brightly in the sky. Sometimes there is no union in front of the first member of a homogeneous series. In such cases, a comma is also placed between all homogeneous members, including after the first of them. He left himself only a saber, and a pipe, and his father's gun. He then frowned with displeasure, or frowned, or pursed his lips. In the Russian language there are many phraseological units built on the basis of a number of homogeneous members. Commas are not used in such phraseological units. Remember the main ones:
and this and that; neither this nor that; and so and so;	neither light nor dawn; and hither and thither; neither fish nor fowl;	neither day nor night; neither give nor take; neither back nor forth, etc.

Punctuation marks for homogeneous / non-homogeneous definitions
Homogeneous definitions connected by an allied connection are separated by commas.
To the so-called "creeping" inflation, financial, industrial, fiscal structures adapt better than to sharp jumps in the exchange rate.
In practice, it is difficult to distinguish homogeneous definitions from heterogeneous ones. The following table will help you do this.

Homogeneous definitions characterize different objects.	Red, yellow, lilac splashes tore the night sky (some splashes are red, others are yellow, etc.).
Homogeneous definitions are related to each other in a sentence in terms of meaning as cause / effect, condition / effect, specified / specified, etc.	They were opposed by an experienced, dangerous enemy (experienced, therefore dangerous - cause and effect). He was a tired, exhausted person (the second definition clarifies, explains the first).
Definitions are homogeneous if they denote different features of the same object, characterizing it on the one hand. In this case, the union I can be inserted between the definitions.	Violent, deafening rain poured down on the steppe. He fell into a deep, unmoving sleep.
Definitions are usually considered homogeneous if the second component is a participial phrase or a phrase based on an adjective.	Tall, sun-baked trees lined the road. Bright, full of light glare played on the glass.
Definitions after the word being defined are considered homogeneous.	Sea waves, elastic, chilly, seemed to him like leather.

Often the question of the homogeneity of definitions (and hence the question of punctuation marks attached to them) can only be resolved by taking into account the intonation of the sentence (the speaker usually emphasizes homogeneous definitions intonation).

Homogeneous are two or more members of a sentence that act in the same syntactic function (i.e., play the same role in the sentence), refer to the same word and are connected to each other by a coordinating or non-union connection.

Petyaand Masha vying with each other ordered chocolate, strawberry, caramel ice cream.

In this proposal, the same

*subject to Petya and Masha

*definitions chocolate, strawberry, caramel refer to the same word ice cream.

Homogeneous members are equal. The means of communication for homogeneous members are coordinating conjunctions and enumeration intonation:

Petya loves and chocolate , and strawberry, and pistachio ice cream. - Means of communication - repeating union and.

Petya loves chocolate, strawberry, pistachio ice cream. - Means of communication - enumeration intonation.

Sometimes homogeneous members of a sentence can be connected subordinating unions(causal, concessive):

The ice cream was delicious, although cold.

Homogeneous are like main, and secondary members of the proposal; if the members of the sentence are expressed not in one word, but combination of words, parts of such members of the sentence can be homogeneous:

Petyaand Masha love ice cream.

- homogeneous subjects;

Millions of boys and girls all over the world love ice cream.

Homogeneous parts of the subject;

Day turned out to be sunny, joyful, happy.

Homogeneous parts of the predicate etc.

Homogeneous members of the proposal can be isolated and isolated sentence members, as well as individual components within separate members:

This picture was painted in a very original and even somewhat remarkable manner.

Homogeneous non-isolated definitions;

Pulling up a chair and picking up a spoon , Petya pounced on ice cream.

Homogeneous isolated circumstances etc.

Homogeneous members of a sentence may have different morphological expression:

He talked and laughed all day.

Homogeneous predicates expressed by verbs;

He was talking and laughing all day.

- predicates have different morphological expression;

We ordered vanilla and chocolate ice cream.

Homogeneous definitions, one expressed adjective, other - noun with a preposition.

Between homogeneous members of the proposal, not connected by unions, is placed

punctuation mark
Comma	Candied cherries could be added to ice cream , chocolate , waffles , sugar sprinkle.
Semicolon(common homogeneous members of a sentence are separated if there are already commas inside them)	Petya loved chocolate ice cream sprinkled with waffle crumbs; strawberry with whipped cream, topped with candied cherries; creamy, in which nuts or candied fruits are added.
Dash(to express the opposite between two homogeneous members, not related unions)	Not strawberry ice cream - chocolate was Petya's favorite.

Between homogeneous members of a sentence connected by unions, a comma

Not set	Is put
If homogeneous members are connected by connecting single unions and, yes ( in the meaning of i): Petyaand Masha took a long time to choose which one to order.	If homogeneous members are connected by opposing unions ah but yes (meaning but) : In the end, Petya chose not coffee, a chocolate ice cream.
If homogeneous members are connected by dividing single unions or, either : They chose for a long time whether to order chocolate or coffee ice cream for them.	If homogeneous members are bound by a concessive union although : He liked chocolate, albeit bitter ice cream.
If the homogeneous members of the sentence with repeated alliances form close semantic unity(usually in such cases they have explanatory words), as well as inside whole phraseological expressions: And Petya ate a lot of ice cream in winter and summer.	If homogeneous members are connected by repeated unions: and... and, yes... yes, neither... neither, or... or, whether... whether, or... or, that... that and etc. Petya asked for something chocolate , then pistachio, then lemon ice cream.
	If the number of homogeneous members is more than two, and the union is repeated:
	When only a part of them is connected by repeated unions, and the rest by an unionless connection: It was chocolate ice cream , strawberry, coffee, and pistachio, and lemon , and cream.

Rice. 1. Comma with homogeneous members of the sentence ()

If homogeneous members are connected paired (comparative, double) unions like ... so and, not like ... like, not only ... but also, not so much ... how much, how much ... so much, although ... but, if not ... then etc., then the comma is placed only before the second part of the union:

Petya ate Not only chocolate ice cream , but also creamy with great pleasure.

Inside comparative unions not that ... but, not that ... but (but) comma before what and to not set:

Before a difficult choice between chocolate and coffee ice cream, Petya is not exactly doubted , and thought a little.

With homogeneous members, sentences can be generalizing words. These are words with a more general meaning compared to the meaning of homogeneous members. Generalizing words are the same member of the sentence as homogeneous members. They can stand both before homogeneous members and after them.

Creepy. I close the window and run to bed. I feel my pulse and, not finding it on my arm, I look for it in my temples, then in my chin and again on my arm, and all this is cold, slimy with sweat. Breathing becomes more and more frequent, the body trembles, all the insides are in motion, on the face and on the bald head there is a feeling as if a cobweb is sitting on them.

What to do? Call family? No, it doesn `t need. I don't understand what my wife and Liza will do when they come to me.

I hide my head under the pillow, close my eyes and wait, wait... My back is cold, it seems to be drawn inward, and I have such a feeling as if death will certainly come to me from behind, slowly...

- Kiwi-kiwi! - suddenly there is a squeak in the silence of the night, and I don’t know where it is: in my chest or on the street?

- Kiwi-kiwi!

My God, how scary! I would drink more water, but I'm afraid to open my eyes and I'm afraid to raise my head. My horror is unaccountable, animalistic, and I can’t understand why I’m scared: is it because I want to live, or because a new, yet unexplored pain awaits me?

Upstairs, behind the ceiling, someone is either moaning or laughing ... I listen. After a while, footsteps are heard on the stairs. Someone hurriedly goes down, then up again. A minute later steps are again heard below; someone stops at my door and listens.

- Who's there? I scream.

The door opens, I boldly open my eyes and see my wife. Her face is pale and her eyes are teary.

"Are you awake, Nikolai Stepanych?" she asks.

- What do you want?

- For God's sake, go to Lisa and look at her. Something is going on with her...

“Okay…with pleasure…” I mutter, very pleased that I’m not alone. - Okay... Right now.

I follow my wife, listen to what she says to me, and I do not understand anything from excitement. Light spots from her candle jump up the steps of the stairs, our long shadows tremble, my legs get tangled in the skirts of my dressing gown, I suffocate, and it seems to me that something is chasing me and wants to grab me by the back. “Now I will die here, on this staircase,” I think. “Now…” But then we passed the stairs, a dark corridor with an Italian window, and we enter Lisa's room. She sits on the bed in one nightgown, her bare feet dangling, and moans.

“Oh, my God… oh, my God!” she mutters, squinting at our candle. - I can't, I can't...

“Liza, my child,” I say. - What happened to you?

Seeing me, she screams and throws herself on my neck.

- My dad is kind ... - she sobs, - my dad is good ... My little one, dear ... I don’t know what’s wrong with me ... It’s hard!

She hugs me, kisses me, and babbles caressing words that I heard from her when she was still a child.

“Calm down, my child, God bless you,” I say. - Dont cry. It's hard for me myself.

I try to cover her, the wife gives her something to drink, and we both hustle around the bed; I push her shoulder with my shoulder, and at this time I remember how we used to bathe our children together.

Help her, help her! the wife pleads. - Do something!

What can I do? I can't do anything. There is some heaviness in the girl’s soul, but I don’t understand anything, I don’t know, and I can only mutter:

- Nothing, nothing ... It will pass ... Sleep, sleep ...

As if on purpose, a dog's howl was suddenly heard in our yard, at first quiet and indecisive, then loud, in two voices. I have never attached importance to such signs as the howl of dogs or the cry of owls, but now my heart is painfully compressed, and I hasten to explain this howl to myself.

“Nonsense…” I think. The influence of one organism on another. My strong nervous tension was transmitted to my wife, Lisa, the dog, that's all ... This transmission explains premonitions, foresights ... "

When I return to my room a little later to write a recipe for Lisa, I no longer think that I will die soon, but my heart is just heavy, tedious, so it’s even a pity that I didn’t die suddenly. For a long time I stand motionless in the middle of the room and think of what to write down for Lisa, but the groans behind the ceiling are silent, and I decide not to write down anything, and still I stand ...

The silence is dead, such a silence that, as some writer put it, it even rings in your ears. Time passes slowly, the stripes of moonlight on the windowsill do not change their position, as if frozen ... Dawn is not soon.

But here in the front garden the gate creaks, someone sneaks and, breaking off a branch from one of the skinny trees, gently knocks it on the window.

- Nikolai Stepanych! I hear a whisper. - Nikolai Stepanych!

I open the window, and it seems to me that I see a dream: under the window, pressed against the wall, stands a woman in a black dress, brightly lit by the moon, and looks at me with big eyes. Her face is pale, stern and fantastic from the moon, like marble, her chin is trembling.

“I am…” she says. - I ... Katya!

In the moonlight, all women's eyes seem large and black, people are taller and paler, and therefore, probably, I did not recognize her at first.

- What do you want?

“Sorry,” she says. “Suddenly, for some reason, it became unbearably hard for me ... I could not stand it and went here ... There is light in your window, and ... and I decided to knock ... Sorry ... Oh, if you only knew how hard it was for me! What are you doing now?

- Nothing ... Insomnia.

“I had some premonition. However, it's rubbish.

Her eyebrows rise, her eyes shine with tears, and her whole face lights up, as if with a light, a familiar, long-unseen expression of trust.

- Nikolai Stepanych! she says pleadingly, holding out both hands to me. - My dear, I beg you ... I beg you ... If you do not despise my friendship and respect for you, then agree to my request!

- What?

Take my money from me!

Well, here's what I came up with! What do I need your money for?

- You will go somewhere to be treated ... You need to be treated. Will you take it? Yes? Dove, right?

She eagerly peers into my face and repeats:

- Yes? Will you take it?

“No, my friend, I won’t take it,” I say. - Thanks.

She turns her back to me and bows her head. I probably refused her in a tone that prevented further talk about money.

“Go home to bed,” I say. - See you tomorrow.

"So you don't consider me your friend?" she asks dejectedly.

“I don't say that. But your money is useless to me now.

And she leaves so fast that I don't even have time to say goodbye to her.

I am in Kharkov.

Since it would be useless to struggle with my present mood, and beyond my power, I decided that the last days of my life would be impeccable, albeit from a formal point of view; if I am wrong in relation to my family, which I am well aware of, then I will try to do as they want. To go to Kharkov, so to Kharkov. Besides, lately I have become so indifferent to everything that it makes absolutely no difference to me where I go, to Kharkov, to Paris, or to Berdichev.

I arrived here at twelve o'clock in the afternoon and stayed at a hotel not far from the cathedral. In the carriage, I was sick and drafty, and now I'm sitting on the bed, holding my head and waiting for tic'a. I ought to go today to the familiar professors, but there is no desire and strength.

An old bellboy enters and asks if I have bed linen. I detain him for five minutes and ask him a few questions about Gnekker, for whose sake I have come here. The footman turns out to be a native of Kharkov, knows this city like the back of his hand, but does not remember a single house that would bear the name of Gnekker. I ask about estates - the same thing.

In the corridor the clock strikes one, then two, then three... The last months of my life, while I am waiting for death, seem to me much longer than my whole life. And never before have I been able to put up with the slowness of time so much as now. Before, when you were waiting at the train station or sitting at an exam, a quarter of an hour seemed like an eternity, but now I can sit motionless on my bed all night and think with complete indifference that tomorrow will be the same long, colorless night, and the day after tomorrow ...
