Examples of sentences with isolated circumstances. Isolation of circumstances expressed by gerunds and nouns with prepositions

Isolated circumstances are expressed by participles or participial phrases.

1. The mother, looking sternly at her daughter, left the room.

2. The river, running onto the clayey bank, disappeared around the bend.

3. On the opposite bank, lights flashed.

4. The terrace was surrounded by spreading trees, shielding vacationers from the sun.

5. Arriving early in July morning in this resort town, my friend and I went to the famous lake.

6. Expecting an unpleasant conversation, the boy timidly entered the room.

7. The red dog approached the little girl and licked her cheek.

8. Having opened the suitcase, the passenger was hastily looking for something.

9. Having dug up the beds, the schoolchildren planted different flowers in front of the school building.

10. Having returned home, the daughter went to bed.

First, let's figure out what a sentence is and what a separate circumstance is. A sentence is a group of interconnected words or one word that contains a specific meaning. A circumstance is a member of a sentence that answers the questions how? When? Where? where? and so on. An isolated circumstance is a circumstance limited by a comma or commas. Most often, isolated circumstances are participial turnover or a separate gerund.

Simple sentences with isolated circumstances

Simple sentences are sentences that contain only one grammatical stem. Such proposals with isolated circumstances are often taken as complex sentences due to the presence of commas. But you need to be able to distinguish isolated circumstances from other grammatical bases.

• Ekaterina went to shopping mall, cheerfully humming your favorite song.
• My friends and I, after consulting several times, decided to give all our savings to a charitable foundation.
• Nastya, having eaten her fill, threw her backpack over her shoulder and walked away aimlessly.
• Maxim, having put his head in order, left the house.

Compound sentences with isolated adverbials

In compound sentences, each part has equal value, and these parts are connected to each other by coordinating conjunctions.

• Andrey, looking sideways at Nastya, rushed into the depths of the forest, and Nastya, looking sideways at Andrey, simply stood up like a pillar and began to cry loudly.
• Without thinking for a long time, I set off, and my roommate, approving my decision, went with me.
• She did not sing, condemning all the spectators, and these spectators continued to talk loudly, not paying any attention to her.

Complex sentences with isolated adverbials

In a complex sentence it stands out main part and one or more subordinate clauses.

• Vova, thinking about this topic for a long time, forgot about the kettle, which was about to whistle.
• My friends, having satisfied their thirst, went to the forest, which was two kilometers from us.
• Gosha, forgetting about all his work, watched TV until his mother came.

Target: deepen the concepts of the syntactic role of gerunds and participial phrases, repeat the morphology of verbs and gerunds, suffixes of gerunds;
further development of the skill of seeing sentences with separate definitions and applications, the ability to highlight them with intonation and punctuation marks;
repeat spelling Not with the sacrament, - n- And - nn- in participles, derivative prepositions.

During the classes.

1 . Separate:(write on the board)

1. distinguish from the general, creating a special position from others;
2. in grammar: to intonationally highlight some semantic segment within a sentence.

S.I. Ozhegov

We continue this topic, reinforcing what we have learned about isolated applications and definitions and dwelling in more detail on isolated circumstances, understanding the importance of intonation and semantic highlighting of these phrases and the even greater need for correct punctuation in a sentence.

2. Fragments of the homework are checked on the board (test tasks in the Russian language are used. Author A.B. Malyushkin, Moscow 2007, Sfera Publishing House).

1) The first student enters the correct answers to the tests into the table.

№ 1 2 3 4 5 6
Answers 3 1 2 4 1 1

a) the spelling is explained not with an adjective and participle,
b) analysis is done based on the composition of the word connected,
c) task No. 3 is explained and characteristics of proposal No. 2 are given

(narrative, non-exclamatory, two-part, complete, widespread, complicated by a separate circumstance).

2) The second student gives answers to tasks No. 4,5,6,

a) explains the spelling -n-, -nn- in the second task,
b) parses the word according to its composition preserved and analysis of a given word as a part of speech.

3. At this time, work takes place with the class.

a) I remember general character isolation of minor members, which, as a rule, denote some additional action, some additional feature.
b) Separated minor members characteristic primarily of bookish speech. They are very widely used in fiction.
c) Students give examples from the text homework: (punctuation marks and missing letters) are filled in by students:

Text.

1. Panikovsky and Balaganov rolled silently on the carpet, standing and kicking out their legs.

2. They wandered through the streets, pale, disappointed, dull with grief. 3. Bender walked behind everyone with his head down and automatically purring. In the depths under the canopy the Antelope was yellow. Kozlevich was sitting on the tavern porch. Puffing sweetly, he pulled hot tea from the saucer. He was blissful.

“Adam!” said the great schemer, stopping in front of the driver. - We are out of stock. We are beggars, Adam! Welcome us! We are dying.
Kozlevich stood up. The commander, humiliated and poor, stood before him with his head uncovered. Adam Kazimirovich's bright Polish eyes blurred with tears. He came down the steps and hugged all the Antelopeans one by one.
“Taxi is free!” he said, swallowing tears of pity. - Please sit down.
Panikovsky cried, covering his face with his fists and whispering:
- What a heart! Honest, noble heart! What a heart!

Questions:

Indicate all isolated parts of the sentence using punctuation marks.
Name the work and its author.
For what purpose do I. Ilf and E. Petrov use separate members?
(They help writers describe the subject in detail in an economical manner)
Explain the spelling of words with missing letters.

4. Let us turn to the texts of A.S. Pushkin and M. Gorky.

Nothing to do. She,
Full of black envy
Throwing the mirror under the bench,
She called the black girl to her place
And punishes her
Hay to his girlfriend,
News to the princess in the depths of the forest...

b) M. Gorky in the story “Childhood” describes his grandmother:
“She tells fairy tales quietly, mysteriously, leaning towards my face, looking into my eyes with dilated pupils, as if pouring into my heart strength that lifts me up...” The author, using isolated parts of the sentence, emphasizes main idea- grandmother for Alyosha was the most wonderful person. It was she who woke him up, hidden in the darkness, and brought him into the light.
Students identify isolated parts of a sentence by ear (who can name them the most) and draw a conclusion about the need to use fiction in texts.

5. Let's return to the text by I. Ilf and E. Petrov.

a) A diagram for sentence 3 is drawn up on the board and its characteristics are given.
It is determined that with one predicate there can be two participial phrases, i.e. two separate circumstances.
How are punctuation marks used in this case?
(In this case, a comma between isolated circumstances connected by the union And, not set).

b) Such cases should be distinguished from sentences in which isolated circumstances refer to different predicate verbs:
pay attention to the table (it is on each student’s desk as Handout) point No. 3, read the sentence.

Isolation of circumstances

Here we have homogeneous predicate members. Consequently, the punctuation marks will be different. Let's pay attention to the diagram this proposal in the table.

1. Why is there a comma before the conjunction?
2. Why is it not in the second example?

6. Work continues with the table of isolated circumstances.

1. What circumstances have we not yet talked about?
   (Circumstances expressed by a noun with a preposition. Left column).
2. What pretexts? (derivatives).
3. What is a derived preposition? ( Independent part speech, losing its lexical and morphological meaning goes into service).
4. Examples (Who will lead faster?).
5. What is the difference in spelling: during- during; towards - to meet;
   about - on account; in continuation - in continuation; as a result - as a result.

7. Working from the textbook p. 145, approx. No. 2.

What other prepositions can be used with such isolation?

Exercise in progress. No. 333, p. 147.

8. Compose sentences with isolated circumstances expressed by a noun with a preposition, and use these words as independent words
parts of speech:

1. option - (as) a consequence...
2. option - thanks.

9 . The circumstance of a concession is always isolated with a pretext despite.

Despite All my suffering, I could not sleep.

10. The isolation of other circumstances depends on stylistic objectives.

Circumstances are especially often isolated causes(due to, thanks to, as a result) conditions(if present, if absent), concessions(contrary to).

11 . After this, we continue to work with the table in the “Non-exclusive circumstances” section

What are the conditions for non-isolation of these circumstances?

a) The circumstance represents a stable turnover, i.e. phraseological turn.

We find example sentences and read them.

Name the phraseological units you know (which row will complete this task faster).
(Listen with your ears open; rush headlong; answer without further ado; shout without remembering yourself; listen with your mouth open;...)
- Compose one sentence at a time, using any phraseological phrase, and write it down as shown in the table.

b) Single adverbial participles or, as they used to be called, adverbs.

Let's pay attention to their place in the sentence.

(they stand after the predicate, answer the questions: how? in what way? in what position?).

c) We work with the textbook note on p. 145 (top).

Name such adverbs.
(Sitting, lying, standing, silently, jokingly, reluctantly, etc.)

These words have firmly become adverbs. When used alone, they are not isolated; they can be replaced with synonymous adverbs. For example, he speaks slowly - slowly; answered reluctantly - sluggishly.

Intonation can be a helper here. There is no pause before or after the adverb, but after a separate participial phrase the pause is observed.
- This rule is confirmed by the example of exercise No. 326.

d) The third case from table (b) is being worked out.

These are single participles, which also appear after the predicate at the end of the sentence and are circumstances of the manner of action; synonyms can also be found for them. Let's look at table examples.
- Replace the adverb with a gerund and make sentences:

1. V. Lightning flashed continuously (without ceasing).
2. V. The cloud was moving slowly (not in a hurry).

12. Quiz.

Task No. 1.

Explain why the gerunds are not isolated in the following sentences:

and then a strange man slowly walked around the lower decks.(Cat.) b) The doorman decided to walk slowly.(Paust.) c) The fox turned to the chicken coop and left, slurping unsalted.

a) a single gerund is closer to an adverb, as if merging with the predicate;
b) slowly - adverb;
c) is a phraseological unit.

Task No. 2.

Rearrange the sentences so that isolated circumstances become non-isolated:

1.. Gritting their teeth, they continued to work. 2. Hanging her head low, she left the room. 3. He continued to sit, determined to finish the job.

Task No. 3.

Make up a sentence with phraseological units, indicating which ones stand out:

Headlong, carelessly, heading towards something, without hesitation, taking into accountattention.(in rows, one example at a time).

Task No. 4.

Indicate errors in the use of participial phrases: 1. Having left for the open steppe,they were caught in a snowstorm. 2. Reading the story, a vivid image of the leader appears before uspopular uprising.

What can we quickly say to her in poetry?
Truth is dearer to me than anything else.
Without having time to think, I’ll say: you’re the cutest of all.
After thinking about it, I will say the same thing.

19. This is interesting.

1. Remember the lines from I.A Krylov’s fable “Fish Dance”: Here, Lev licked the headmanmercifully in the chest..., set off on his further journey. This is a rare case when the subject took a completely unusual place for itself - it was located inside the adverbial phrase.

2. By the will of the author, the participial phrase can be attributed not to the verb. Here is an excerpt from a poem by Leonid Martynov: Sleeves, islands... This is a river delta! This is what it’s like, it’s starting to get dark! However, this is not the norm, but a property of the individual author's style.

3. Think about the sentence!He wrinkled his forehead, unable to understand what was written.
It does not fit any type of isolation known to you. It turns out that this is a “splinter” of an adverbial phrase being unable to in which the participle played only an auxiliary role and therefore disappeared without prejudice to the meaning.

20 . The lesson is summarized.

1. What new did you learn about the isolation of circumstances in class today?
2. What caused the difficulties?

In subsequent lessons we will continue this topic.

Lesson objectives:

• developing skills to distinguish derivative prepositions from synonymous parts of speech;
• correctly use punctuation marks when isolating circumstances expressed by gerunds, participial phrases and nouns with prepositions;
• correctly use adverbial phrases in speech.

I. Reporting the topic of the lesson

The topic of our lesson today is isolated circumstances expressed by gerunds and nouns with prepositions.

II. Repetition of spelling of prepositions

1. Working with a table.

But first look at the board and tell me what parts of speech are written on the board?

Can you answer this question out of context? (No)

Board:

Table No. 1

Of course, you can't answer this question without context. Then choose the words so that it is clear that these are prepositions.

Write these words in table No. 1.

What are these prepositions called? (Derivatives)

Why? (Since they are derived from independent parts of speech).

Enter in your table from which parts of speech these derivative prepositions are formed.

What is special about writing prepositions in the first column? (At the end it is written e , in contrast to synonymous nouns, in which the form gender, date, preposition. cases are written at the end And )

What is special about writing prepositions in the second column? (They are written together, just like prepositions despite And regardless of )

How to distinguish derived prepositions from independent parts of speech? (Derived prepositions can be replaced with another preposition, an adjective can be inserted between a preposition and a noun, or a question can be asked, for example:

Come out to meet guests
go out to a (friendly) meeting with friends
Go out (towards whom?) to meet the guests
go out (where?) towards
Go out to meet (long-awaited) guests
Go out to meet (to) guests

II. Analysis of proposals using table No. 2

Carefully study table No. 2

Find the circumstances in the sentences and explain the punctuation using them using the table. Highlight the grammatical bases of sentences, make sentence diagrams

1. One of the monks left the boy in the monastery and, having cured him, began preparing him to become a monk.
Comment: the solitary participle is isolated, because has the meaning of an additional action and comes before the verb.

2. He began to bring books and tried to read them unnoticed, and after reading them, he hid them somewhere.
Comment: the participial construction cannot be torn away from the conjunction, removed from the sentence or rearranged from another place without destroying the structure of the sentence.

3. One gets the impression that, while describing the genre of the small epic in the article, Gogol was largely analyzing the main work of his life.
Comment: the participial phrase after the subordinating conjunction is separated from it by a comma.

4. The hero, without hesitation, decides to get a job building a dam, because of which the island will be flooded.
Comment: a single participle closely merges in meaning with the verb, we can replace it with the adverb “quickly”

5. The soldiers listened to Vasily Terkin with bated breath. [- =]
Comment: the participial phrase has turned into a stable phrase.

6. Oblomov, due to his upbringing with mothers and nannies, turned into a weak-willed person, incapable of work.

Special circumstances

Words or groups of words isolated in a sentence that have syntactic function circumstances.

The isolation of circumstances is determined:

1) general conditions;

2) private

3) additional conditions, taking into account which three groups of isolated circumstances are distinguished:

1) isolated gerunds, for which the adverbial function is the main one. The relationship of gerunds with a verb is predicted by shades of time, conditions, concessions, reasons, goals. The participle does not lose the meaning of the process, which is the basis of the additional statement and the condition of isolation: Having returned home, he found everyone in good health. Participles are not isolated in case of loss of the meaning of the action: a) in phraseological units that have a frozen form of participial phrase and denote a sign of action: He doesn't like to do everything later sleeves. We headlong rushed to Magas; b) single gerunds with the meaning of a qualitative characteristic of the action, close to qualitative adverbs: We didn't go in a hurry;

2) common circumstances with meanings causes, conditions, concessions, time are isolated in an unusual location relative to the word being defined: a) in a position before the predicate; b) at the beginning or end of a sentence; c) in the case of a distant location relative to the main member: She made a decision and finally, after much trouble, achieved the desired result. The core of the additional message is an abstract noun troubles. Indicators of adverbial meanings are prepositions: a) causal: from, from, behind, because of, in view of, thanks to; b) conditional: at, when; c) concessional: contrary to, despite; d) temporary: By, after;

3) clarifying circumstances, isolated on the basis of the fact that one circumstance clarifies another and through its medium explains the dominant member: He started working on his dissertation in the evening, at ten o'clock. Only the meaning of clarification, realized intentionally by the speaker, determines emphasis. Without specification relations, a single adverbial group arises.

Words or groups of words isolated within a sentence in a rhythmic, intonation or semantic aspect, having a weakened syntactic connection with other members, expressing an additional message about one of the words or the entire sentence.... ... Syntax: Dictionary

In the Russian language there is such a thing as isolation, which is a way of clarifying and highlighting certain words in a statement. Only minor members of a sentence have the ability to be isolated, and thanks to this feature they are endowed with greater independence, unlike non-isolated ones. Such words are used to present information in more detail and highlight a certain part of the statement. Definitions, additions and circumstances may be separate. This article will focus specifically on the circumstance and its features.

Special circumstances

First, you need to determine how an isolated circumstance differs from an ordinary one. To do this, you should remember the definition of this member of the sentence. So, a circumstance is a member of a sentence that plays a secondary role and can be expressed as a prepositional-case construction, phraseology, participle or phrase and infinitive. It can indicate an action performed by a person or object, the method, purpose, condition and place of action, as well as the attribute of the object about which we're talking about in a sentence. The circumstance answers a huge number of questions, such as: where? Where? where? Why? For what? in spite of what? under what condition? An isolated circumstance, just like a simple one, can have a huge number of meanings, but in writing it is separated by commas, and when oral speech intonation. For example: Stumbling, she could barely stay on her feet. Despite the tension, it was a beautiful day.

Participles and participial phrases

An isolated circumstance in a sentence can be expressed as a single gerund or have dependent words. In writing, such a circumstance is always highlighted with commas on both sides. It can be used regardless of the location of the grammatical basis in the sentence. For example:

• Lying on the bed, she looked at the ceiling.
• She sat in the garden, enjoying the fresh air.
• She was running around the shops, looking for a suitable outfit.

Quite often in a sentence you can find a homogeneous isolated circumstance or, in other words, several simple participles in one sentence, and they can refer to different predicates. For example:

• Laughing and jumping, she, inspired, rushed towards the wind.

Non-isolated participles

It is worth noting that circumstances expressed by gerunds or phrases may not be isolated in such cases:

1. If the participle has the meaning of an adverb. For example: Natasha closed the door and sat motionless(equivalent to the adverb motionless). The exceptions are such introductory phrases with the meaning of an adverb, such as: frankly speaking, in fact, noting in passing and others. For example: Actually, I came to talk.
2. If a gerund is part of a stable phrase or phraseological unit, it is not isolated and does not stand out in writing in any way. For example: I rush headlong towards the meeting.

Prepositional case form

Circumstances that are expressed by prepositional-case forms of nouns are isolated for semantic emphasis, explanation or specification. Most often, such an isolated circumstance is used to indicate a place, time or manner of action and depends only on the semantic load. When pronounced, it is distinguished by intonation, and when written, by commas. In this case, the syntactic connection with the predicate is weakened, but along with the meaning of time, the reason for the action or in spite of what it happened is indicated. For example:

• Ivan, after receiving a decisive refusal, went home and did not leave the room for a long time, locking himself away from everyone.
• With the approach of the enemy, the boy’s gaze not only did not become more serious, but became more frivolous.

Along with case forms of nouns, expressed only by semantic load, there are often isolations using prepositions or prepositional combinations, such as: due to, despite, in spite of, thanks to, due to, as a result of, provided, in case and so on. For example:

• Despite wanting to go with him, she refused.
• Despite the rain, they went for a walk.

Punctuation marks in isolated circumstances

Sentences with isolated circumstances can cause some difficulties when written, since it is quite difficult to correctly place punctuation marks in them. And most schoolchildren, when writing down such statements, make a lot of mistakes. However, the main thing here is to learn a few simple rules, knowing which difficulties when writing a proposal can be avoided.

Punctuation rules

1. The participial phrase is always, regardless of its location in the sentence, separated by commas on both sides. (For example: She ran out into the street without putting on a hat; shuddering from the cold. He went inside the house; the girls, laughing and quietly talking, passed by unnoticed.)
2. If an adverbial phrase is used next to a conjunction, it is separated from it by a comma. Neither conjunctions nor allied words are included in it. (For example: She smiled at her friend and, jumping over the puddle, ran home.) The only exception here can be the conjunction “a”, placed before the participial phrase. In this case, the union may be included in the turnover. (For example: you need to understand what the meaning of life is, and having understood this, convey it to others.)
3. If there are several adverbial phrases following each other in a sentence, then punctuation marks between them are placed in the same way as with homogeneous members. (For example: He approached, staggering and holding the lady by the elbow with one hand, and slowly waving an umbrella with the other.)
4. If participial phrases in one sentence refer to different predicates, then each of them is separated by commas separately. (For example: Pushing the door with his foot, he jumped into the street and, not paying any attention to passers-by, rushed away.)

Exercises to reinforce the material

To consolidate received theoretical knowledge, should Special attention devote to practical exercises. That is why in school course a huge number of hours are devoted to the Russian language to consolidate such complex topic. So, first you should learn to isolate isolated circumstances from the context orally, relying only on intonation, and then move on to written tasks. Sentences in which students are asked to read expressively, and then place commas according to intonation and explain why this punctuation mark should be there, are ideal for this. In this way, the child will learn to apply the learned punctuation rules in practice. After children learn to identify participial phrases and prepositional-case forms of nouns as isolated circumstances, the task can be complicated by offering statements with conjunctions or allied words for analysis. It should be noted that before proceeding with the definition of isolated circumstances, it is necessary to highlight the grammatical basis in the sentence. Further, the task can be complicated by presenting the children with complex compound sentences with several grammatical stems and homogeneous isolated circumstances.
