The particle is part of the predicate. Particles. The infinitive as the main members of the sentence

2. In order to correctly identify the predicate in a sentence, one must remember that

The predicate depends on the subject and answers questions what does the subject do? what is the subject? what happens to him? who is the subject? what is an object?

- predicates are simple and composite.

- phraseological unit: He Participated in in conference(=participated).

Note:

- A simple verbal predicate is most often expressed in one word (verb), but may consist of two words if the verb is used in the form of a future compound tense ( will read) or in the form of an imperative mood (let them read).

- Common mistakes should be avoided when isolating a simple verbal predicate:

often students forget to include in the composition of the predicate particles LET, COME ON, WOULD, forming the forms of the imperative and conditional (subjunctive) mood: May the sun always shine(Predicate LET SHINE.) Let's talk about it tomorrow. (Predicate LET'S TALK.) I wouldn't go.(The predicate WOULD NOT GO.)

mistakenly include secondary members in the predicate: seeds ripen in fruits.(In this sentence, it is impossible to single out a combination of words as a predicate "ripe in fruit" because "in fruits" - circumstance of place.)

2) Compound verb predicate:

- auxiliary verb + infinitive: He started talking excitedly.

A) beginning, end or continuation + infinitive: He started coughing. She is keeps laughing. We finished doing an exercise. I stopped running in the morning.

B) auxiliary verb with meaning tendencies, habits+ infinitive: I want a lot of travel. You could speak not so loud? We we try Good to study. She is seeks a lot of train.

b)auxiliary verb with meaning thoughts, feelings+ infinitive: He afraid to be late for the exam. We we don't like a lot of travel. They are thought to come in time.

- short adjective (HAPPY, READY, MUST, OBLIGATE, CAPABLE, INTEND, AGREE, HAVE TO) + infinitive: I happy to visit at the conference. We ready to be on duty in the dining room. She is agree to leave for him married. They are you need to live far from home. You must immediately leave.

- NECESSARY, NECESSARY, NECESSARY + infinitive: Gotta wash hands before eating. to me need urgently leave. To you must pass work by the deadline. Rules You don't have to learn, just practice.

Note:Common mistakes should be avoided when isolating a compound verb predicate:

- often students incorrectly define the boundaries of the compound verbal predicate and instead of the entire predicate, emphasize only one part of it: They will start preparing for the competition.(In this sentence, only one word cannot be singled out as a predicate. "begin" since it does not name the main action that the subject performs "they", but only indicates the phase of its flow (beginning of execution). The predicate will be a combination of words "begin to prepare": auxiliary "begin" expresses grammatical meaning(indicates that the action will take place soon), and the infinitive "prepare" - lexical, that is, directly names the action.)

- the infinitive is not included in the predicate, but is a minor member, if

A)the infinitive and the auxiliary verb denote the actions of different persons: Everyone asked her to sing something.(Subject "they" performs only the action named by the verb "asked"(everyone asked, but she should sing). Infinitive "sing" in this case will be addition.)

The infinitive-complement depends on predicates with a specific meaning - the meaning of the will: ask, order, persuade, beg: pleads about what? come to visit; proposed what? go to the disco.

1) simple verb the predicate can be expressed:

- verb in the form of the indicative, imperative or conditional mood: She is sings. She is will sing. She is sing. Let she is sing! Come on, sing! I would sing you.

- infinitive: Live - Motherland serve. How the music will play, little boy right away dance.

B) the infinitive depends on the verb of motion: He came to find out information about the upcoming transfer exams.(Infinitive "to know", used with the verb of motion "came" is a condition of the goal.

to the infinitive, you can ask the question WHAT? The desire to wander attacked him. (Hunting(which?) wander. Before us is the infinitive in the role of an inconsistent definition.)

So, the infinitive in a sentence can be part of a compound verbal predicate, or it can act as a secondary member of the sentence. To determine the syntactic role of the infinitive, it is necessary to ask a semantic question to it. If this can be done, we have before us - a secondary member of the sentence (circumstance, addition, definition), if not - part of the compound verb predicate.

3) Compound noun predicate

Linking verb + nominal part (noun, adjective, numeral, pronoun, participle, adverb): A taskturned out to be difficult.My father -doctor.

The linking verb expresses the grammatical meaning of the predicate.

The nominal part expresses the lexical meaning of the predicate.

2. linking verb TO BE in the form of one of the moods (WAS, WILL BE, WOULD BE, LET WILL BE) + nominal part: Let will be kind you have a mind and a heart will be smart.

Note:in the present tense, the linking verb BE appears in the zero form: He student. He was a student. He will soon will be a student.

B) Linking verb TO BE, TO SEE, TO BECOME, TO BECOME, TO BE, TO STAY, TO BE, TO BE RECOGNIZED, TO LOOK + nominal part: The plot of the novelturned out to be original.She isis the mistressthis machine. On the streetit gets cold.His character has also changed.became heavy and irritable.

3. linking verb with meaning movement, position in space+ nominal part: Autumncame rainy.Heleft reassured.

Ways of expressing the nominal part

How is the nominal part of the compound nominal predicate expressed	Examples
Noun	My brother became an economist. Snow is like sugar.
Adjective name (full, short, in the form comparative degree)	Illumination during the carnival was great. This process intense. One thoughtful word expensive thousands of lightweights.
Numeral	Two by two - four. Their hut was the third on the edge.The idea of the Inspector was prompted Pushkin Gogol. Air today intoxicating.
Adverb	How it was inopportune it's a memory!

Note:Common mistakes should be avoided when highlighting a compound nominal predicate: often students incorrectly define the boundaries of a compound nominal predicate and instead of the entire predicate, emphasize only one part of it: Comedy plotturned out to be original.

In this sentence, only one word cannot be singled out as a predicate. "turned out" since it does not give an exhaustive description of the subject "plot". It is important that the plot was new, unusual. The predicate will be a combination of words "turned out to be original": linking verb "turned out" expresses a grammatical meaning (indicates that the event was in the past), and the adjective "original" - lexical, that is, directly characterizes the subject.

§one. general characteristics particles

A particle is a service part of speech.

Once upon a time, the linguistic tradition contrasted particles of speech with parts of speech (small auxiliary words - large words with independent meaning) and included all auxiliary words. Then it was understood that prepositions and conjunctions are separate classes of words, each with its own functions. And the term particle began to use in a new way, in a narrower sense.

Like all "small" words, particles have a number of important features:

1) do not change themselves,
2) are not members of the proposal (but some particles may be included in their composition).
They are distinguished from other non-independent words by the fact that they serve to convey a wide range of additional meanings, emotions, feelings, assessments of the speaker. Without particles, which are especially often represented in colloquial speech, the Russian language would be less rich. Compare:

Really did he not call? (surprise) ≠ He didn't call? (question)
Just I dreamed about this! (clarification, underlining, expression) ≠ I dreamed about this (neutral message)
What the night! (exclamation, evaluation) ≠ Night. (name offer)

Even from these examples it is clear that the particles are very diverse. At the same time, as for all service words, for particles their function (role) is determining, according to which they are divided into formative and semantic.

§2. Shaping particles

There are very few shaping particles.
These are particles: would, let, let, yes, come on (those). They serve to form the forms of conditional and imperative moods.

Not it would rain, we would spend all day outside.

Particle would serves as an indicator of the conditional mood of the verb. It is a component of the verb form. The particle is included in the predicate along with the verb form. This means that the shaping particles will be included in the members of the sentences.

Let's go out of town!

Particle let's - imperative indicator. let's go It is an incentive for joint action. Here it is the predicate of a definite-personal sentence.

This means that the formative particles are the particles involved in the formation of the forms of the conditional and imperative moods of the verb. In a sentence, they act together with the verb, even if they do not stand side by side, and are one member of the sentence (separate particles cannot be members of the sentence).

§3. semantic particles. Ranks by value

The bulk of Russian particles are semantic particles. Since they can express a wide range of meanings, it is important to know what value digits they are divided into.

Ranks by value:

Negative: not, not at all, far from, not at all
Interrogative: really, really, whether (l)
Indicative: this, out, here, in (colloquial)
Clarifying: exactly, just, exactly, exactly, exactly
Restrictive excretory : only, only, exclusively, almost, exclusively
Exclamation points: what for, well, how
Amplifying: well, after all, even, really, after all, not, well, still, and, yes, but
Doubts: whether, hardly, hardly

Do not confuse:

1) Particles and, uh, yeah- homonymous coordinating conjunctions.
And do not say! And do not ask! And do not wait! (here and- amplifying particle)
Yes do not say! Yes do not ask! Yes don't wait for him, he won't come! (yes - amplifying particle)
BUT, come what may! ( a- amplifying particle)

2) Particle -then homonymous with the suffix -to in indefinite pronouns: someone, some etc.
He -then knows what he's talking about! We- then we know... Ivan -then knows... (here -then- particle)

3) Particle how homonymous with pronoun how.
How breathe well after a thunderstorm!, How this is terrible!, How I feel bad! (here how- exclamatory particle)
How the word is written? (interrogative pronoun)
I dont know, how this word is written. (relative pronoun)

Attention:

Some particles may belong not to one, but to different categories, for example: whether or not and others. Compare:
In the house neither soul (= no one, negative) ≠ There was no room neither souls (amplifying)
Say you called whether anyone? (interrogative) ≠ Will come in whether is he today? will have time whether? (doubt)

Larisa Fominykh

Among verb forms, the infinitive occupies a special position - it can act as any member of the sentence. Very concise information about this is given in the educational complex of V.V. Babaitseva and L.D. Chesnokova.

The purpose of this note is to summarize information about the syntactic function of the infinitive and offer training material to consolidate this information.

The infinitive as the main members of the sentence

Infinitive as subject is known to students mainly due to the study of the rule for setting a dash between the subject and the predicate in the absence of a link. If both main members are verbs in the indefinite form or there is a combination of "a noun in the nominative case plus an infinitive", a dash is placed between them.

However, when parsing a sentence, difficulties can arise. So, it is not always obvious which part of the sentence is the verb in the indefinite form. An independent infinitive that comes first in a sentence and is intonationally separated from the predicate is the subject. He names an independent, non-procedural action, the characteristic of which is contained in the predicate. At the same time, as a rule, it contains a defined concept, about which some kind of judgment is expressed: Live means to work. Play Hockey is his main passion. Create happiness is high work. Count other people's income is a thankless task. All exaggerate was his passion.

But the infinitive-subject can also occupy a postposition if the second one standing at the beginning of the sentence main member has a clear evaluation value: The scariest part of our job is stay in your growth. His business was patronize junior and take care about the elders. Wasted labor - to fish without hook and to study without a book. My favorite thing was read to her (mother) aloud "Rossiada" and receive from it there are different explanations for words and whole expressions that I do not understand. (Aksakov)

If one of the main members has a bunch of THIS, its presence indicates that we have a predicate in front of us, and the infinitive is the subject: It's against our law - commemorate old. This is the most accessible way to elevate yourself in your own eyes - another humiliate . What happiness is respect parents.

Sometimes the word order is decisive when determining the main members: Become a sailor - his dream. His dream - become a sailor.

The infinitive-subject, like the infinitive-predicate, can include words dependent on it, if one verb does not convey the meaning of the statement. Often this is found in proverbs, aphorisms: Steal from a thief - only time to waste. Fool to teach - what to heal the dead. play a song - no field to yell. To do nothing - hard work. house to lead - don't shake your beard. To drink a tea - don't cut wood. About the decision to speak - only confuse.

Difficulty can arise when the infinitive is combined with words in -O: if the infinitive comes first in the sentence, and then the word in -O follows, we have a two-part sentence with the subject - the infinitive: Argue with him useless. Tell jokes with liberalismdangerous . Rearranging the infinitive to the second place after the -O word, which is a category of state, turns the sentence into an impersonal one: It's useless to argue with him. It wasn't easy to get to before work that day due to a snowstorm. It's dangerous to joke with liberalism. The presence of words of the category of state in the infinitive must, must, must, cannot, can, etc., indicates that this is a predicate of impersonal sentences, regardless of word order: you can get lost. To ask about it it was impossible. Need to find another solution.

Independent infinitive can act as predicate in one-part infinitive sentences (in school textbooks they are considered as a kind of impersonal constructions): Can't see more luck to you! Raise sail! Everyone get ready! be silent! Raise no objection commander! Whom be in love? To whom believe? Such constructions are most often ordered in nature, they are distinguished by categorical statements.

The most frequent is the use of the infinitive in a compound verbal predicate, which has two parts: auxiliary and main. The first conveys the grammatical meaning of mood, tense, person, number or gender, the second (infinitive) - the main lexical meaning.

An auxiliary verb can have a phase meaning (beginning, continuation, end of action ( began to gather, began to argue, continued to talk, stopped sawing) and is used with the imperfective infinitive only: At my sister's began to stick together eyes. Welcoming host started me treat. Other meanings are modal: possibilities/impossibility of action ( didn't dare to confess), obligations ( forced to endure, must go), expressions of will (desirability, determination, readiness) - changed my mind about buying; subjective-emotional character ( loved to eat); estimates of the degree of commonness of the action ( used to command).

In the presence of two verbs (conjugated and infinitive), both are part of the verbal predicate, if the actions refer to one person - the subject of the action: Ranks are given by people, and people may be deceived. (Griboyedov) If actions are performed by different persons, then the infinitive is not part of the compound verb predicate, but acts as a secondary member: Brother asked Pavel come no matter what. (N. Ostrovsky) I would strictly forbid these gentlemen to shoot drive up to the capitals. (Griboyedov)

Examples for the analysis of the infinitive in the role of main members

Task 1. Determine in which sentences the main members are correctly identified.

1. get there before work that day it was not easy.

2. In the evenings the doctor likes to meet and chat with buddies.

3.Peep mean, a retell gossip low, vile, vile.

4. Strong and evasive is not easy win in the ring.

5.Walking walk - to live a long time.

6.Be famous- ugly.

8. Hurry with an answer no need.

9. ride at this time - present pleasure.

10. Should have guarded weather and boating enjoy every calm.

Infinitive in the role of minor members of the sentence

The infinitive can function as an inconsistent definitions. He usually explains nouns with the modal meaning of possibility, necessity, desirability, will, etc.: the decision to refuse, the fear of making a mistake, the need to meet, the desire to help. Less commonly, the infinitive defines abstract nouns with a different meaning: manner of arguing, pleasure in hunting, thought of going, refusal to obey etc. For example: Only hope (what?) save supported her son. He was driven by the desire (what?) to find out truth. Grushenka took a promise from him (what?) come after her at twelve o'clock. Suddenly there was an opportunity (what?) to quickly leave from this city.

The infinitive is addition if the conjugated verb has a full lexical meaning, and the actions of the verbs refer to different persons: I ask you (about what?) talk on the merits of the case. My father taught me (what?) walk on a boat with a pole. The king deigned to order (what?) We take you to him call. (P. Ershov) In these examples, the actions of the verbs refer to different people(I ask, and the interlocutor will speak; the father taught, and the son will walk on the boat; the king ordered, and his subjects came to call).

Much less often there are cases when the infinitive-complement denotes the action of the same subject: Yesterday we agreed (on what?) go to the cottage In a week he learned (what?) ride on skates. Sister quickly got used to (what?) look after for a sick mother.

The infinitive can be purpose circumstance. At the same time, the actions of verbs also refer to different persons: In summer and autumn we go for Kama (for what purpose?) gather mushrooms. Travelers settled down by the stream (for what purpose?) rest and feed horses.

The syntactic role of the infinitive

Member of the proposal	Examples
Subject	Repeat Yeslearn - sharpen the mind. Amazing and fun activity lie on your back in the woods and look up. Laugh healthy.
The predicate (or is part of the predicate)	To you not to see such battles! Argue with him I never could not . Lisa decided certainly her to accompany . Hurry with an answer no need .
Addition	Crossing himself, he importantly sat down and was a prisoner let down ordered. General Muraviev ordered fire .
Definition	He had a cherished dream - get over to the capital.
Purpose circumstance	They go to the Pavlysh school to study from different countries.

Predicate- this is the main member of the sentence, which usually agrees with the subject (in number, person or gender) and has the meaning expressed in questions: what does the subject do? what happens to him? what is he? what is he? who is he?

The predicate expresses the grammatical meaning of one of the moods (indicative mood - present, past, future tense; conditional mood, imperative mood).

Types of predicates:

Simple verb predicate - PGS
Compound verbal predicate - GHS
Compound nominal predicate - SIS

Ways of expressing a simple verbal predicate

The form	Examples
1. Verb in the form of any mood	A gloomy morning comes. A gloomy morning came. Sergei will enter the theater school. He would gladly go to the countryside. Write down your homework.
2. Independent infinitive	To live - to serve the motherland.
3. Interjectional verbal forms (truncated forms of the verb like bam, grab, jump)	Each friend here quietly understands a friend.
4. Phraseological turnover with the main word - a verb in conjugated form	The team won the championship. He's chasing the loafer again.
5. Conjugated verb + modal particle ( yes, let, let, let's, let's, it was, as if, as if, as if, as if, exactly, hardly, almost, just and etc.)	Let me go with you. Let him go with his father. May you have sweet dreams. He started to walk towards the door, but suddenly stopped. In the room as if it smelled cinder. He as if dumbfounded from fear. He nearly died of grief. He just didn't tumble trying to make the audience laugh. He almost freaked out from happiness.

Note!

1) Complex future tense form ( I will write; will sing etc.) is a simple verbal predicate;

2) as if, as if, as if, exactly, as if with the predicate - modal particles, not comparative conjunctions, so a comma is not placed in front of them (the subject and the predicate are never separated by a comma!);

3) the modal particle was used to denote an action that began, but did not take place due to any reasons, unforeseen circumstances, and commas (unlike introductory words happens, happened with the value of regular repetition of action) is not distinguished.

Wed: He used to not show up in the village for weeks.;

4) to distinguish a simple verbal predicate, expressed by a phraseological unit, from a compound nominal predicate, one should remember:

a) phraseologism can often be replaced with one word:

win - win; to have meaning - to mean; make a promise - promise; to give an order - to order and etc.;

b) in a simple verbal predicate-phraseologism, the verb cannot be replaced by a bunch to be, but in a compound nominal predicate it can.

Wed: He hung his nose(PGS) - you can not: He was the nose; She sat tired(SIS) - She was tired; He born happy (SIS) - He was happy.

Note. In speech (especially colloquial speech) there can be various kinds of complicated simple verbal predicates with an expressive meaning. The most common among them are the following:

1) a combination of two verb forms with a particle like this ( Made me feel so good! );

2) a combination of the verb go with another verb in the same form ( I'll go call my mom);

3) the combination of the verb take with another verb in the same form in conjunction with the particles yes, yes and, and ( I'll take it and leave tomorrow for the village; I'll take it and leave- these are not homogeneous predicates (!), but one; and in this case- a particle, not a union);

4) combination of a verb with particles yes how, know (to yourself), well, so, to yourself (And Ivanushka know yourself hold on; I so she screamed );

5) a combination of a verb with a single-root form of an adverbial type ( He eats her; She is roaring).

Plan for parsing a simple verbal predicate

Specify the type of predicate.
Specify the form of the conjugated verb.

Sample parsing

My business is on the up.

They go uphill- simple verbal predicate; expressed by a verbal phraseological unit in the present tense of the indicative mood.

Forget about everything.

to forget- simple verbal predicate; expressed by the verb in the conditional mood.

The predicate expresses the grammatical meaning of one of the moods (indicative mood - present, past, future tense; conditional mood, imperative mood).
