(22) The supply lasted for a long time; it was preserved and stretched out, with no hope of replenishing it soon.

To prepare the material for this assignment, the collection “OPTIMAL TASK BANK FOR PREPARING STUDENTS” was used. Unified State Exam 2012. RUSSIAN LANGUAGE. Steps to prepare for successfully passing the exam. Tasks and algorithms for their implementation. Authors: S.V. Drabkina, D.I. Subbotin. Moscow. "Intelligence-Center", 2012.

Task formulation:indicate the sentence with a grammatical error (in violation of the syntactic norm).

1) A police patrol drove out towards a convoy of cars carrying food.

2) All twenty students who wrote the trial exam showed successful results.

3) Immediately upon arrival in the capital, the famous athlete met with journalists.

4) After graduating from college, he received the rank of lieutenant.

Correct answer: 3 (error “on arrival”, correct: “on arrival”).

The ability to find and correct grammatical errors when constructing sentences allows students not only to give the correct answer to task A5, but also to avoid making similar errors when writing an essay on the Unified State Exam.

What is required from students: find errors in sentence construction

1) with homogeneous members;

2) with participial phrases;

3) with proper names enclosed in quotation marks and being the names of a newspaper, magazine, book, picture, film;

4) with derivative prepositions “on completion”, “on arrival”, “on completion”, “on arrival”;

5) with double conjunctions "not only but…"; "both... and...";

6) using quotes;

7) starting with words: .

What students should know to complete the task correctly: typical grammatical errors.

Quite often on the Unified State Examination in the Russian language there are examples in which the following grammatical errors were made:

1. Incorrect sentence construction with homogeneous members:

A) AND participial phrase and attributive clause, starting with the words WHICH, WHICH, WHICH, WHICH:

The girl who sat by the window and sang well was remembered by the guests.

Participial phrases and subordinate clauses cannot act as homogeneous ones. Union AND must connect identical grammatical constructions: either two participial phrases or two attributive clauses. Therefore, the following options for constructing this sentence will be correct: 1) The girl who sat by the window and sang well was remembered by the guests. 2) The girl who sat by the window and who sang well was remembered by the guests.

Remember: AND.

To the people addicted tourism and who would like to see These amazing places with your own eyes, the author offers many exciting routes.

B)Cannot be combined in one sentence using a conjunction AND an addition expressed by a noun and a subordinate clause: Economists say inflation will fall and that there will be no more delays in wages.

A complement expressed by a noun and a subordinate clause cannot act as an addition. Union AND must connect identical grammatical structures: either two objects or two subordinate clauses. Therefore, the following options for constructing this sentence will be correct: 1) Economists talk about a decrease in inflation and the absence of salary delays. 2) Economists say that inflation is expected to decrease and that there will be no more delays in wages.

Remember:only syntactic constructions of the same type can be homogeneous and connected by a conjunction AND.

The following sentences are grammatically incorrect:

In my essay I want to tell about the importance of sports And why do I love him.

The book tells how to keep fish properly And about the device aquarium

IN)You cannot combine a noun and an infinitive as homogeneous members in one sentence: I love music and skating.

Remember:only syntactic constructions of the same type can be homogeneous and connected by a conjunction AND. Therefore, the following version of the construction of this sentence would be correct: I love listening to music and skating.

G)You cannot combine in one sentence using a conjunction AND predicates, if the noun following them is grammatically related to only one of them (it is unacceptable for different case questions to be asked from predicate verbs to a common dependent word):

In this sentence, the predicates “researches” and “reasons” have the same dependent word “about nature”, however, from the first predicate the question WHAT is asked to it?, and from the second - ABOUT WHAT? This construction of a sentence is unacceptable, since a general word dependent on homogeneous members must answer the same question. Therefore, the correct options for constructing this sentence would be the following:

In sentences in which the predicates have the same dependent word and are connected by a conjunction AND, from each of the predicates the same question must be asked to the common dependent word.

The following sentences are grammatically incorrect:

Listeners of the program expected (WHAT?) and hoped (WHAT?) to meet with a famous TV presenter.

Every day I watered (WHAT?) and admired (WHAT?) this flower.

D)It is unacceptable that parts of double unions "not only but…"; "both... and..." connected different concepts (parts of a double conjunction should be connected only by homogeneous members expressed in words of the same part of speech and answering the same question):

Created on the theme of war not only films, but also staged wonderful performances.

Double alliance "not only but…" must connect homogeneous members of a sentence. In this case, this does not happen: the parts of the double conjunction connect the noun "movies" and short passive participle "set", which are not homogeneous members due to the fact that they belong to different parts of speech and answer different questions. Therefore, such a sentence construction is unacceptable. Right say this:

On the theme of war not only created movies , but also set wonderful performances.

From a grammatical point of view, such a construction of a sentence with a double conjunction is also incorrect "both... and...":

For us how interesting image of Raskolnikov, so is the image Sonya Marmeladova.

The parts of the double conjunction will connect the short adjective "interesting" and a noun "image", which are not homogeneous due to the fact that they belong to different parts of speech and answer different questions. Therefore, such a sentence construction is unacceptable. Right say this:

Interesting for us as an image Raskolnikova, so is the image Sonya Marmeladova.

E)Homogeneous members following the generalizing word must be in the same case as the generalizing word:

In this sentence the general word is "spiritual qualities" stands in the form T.p., and all homogeneous members “ justice, nobility, simplicity"- in the form of Im.p. Therefore, this sentence is constructed incorrectly. Correct is the following option:

Yo)It is impossible to omit different prepositions when listing homogeneous members:

Crowds of people were everywhere: in the streets, squares, squares.

Before the words "squares" need to add a preposition "V" , because this word is not used with a preposition "on the" . Correct option:

Crowds of people were everywhere: in the streets, squares, and parks.

When listing homogeneous members, you can omit the same prepositions; different prepositions cannot be omitted. The following sentence is also incorrect from a grammatical point of view:

Travel agencies today offer you to visit Greece, Spain, Finland and Cyprus.

2. Misuse participial phrases:

A)You cannot place the word being defined inside a participial phrase (the participial phrase must completely stand before or after the word being defined and should not be torn apart by it):

Arrived delegates You must register for the convention.

Defined word "delegates" breaks the participial phrase, it can only come before or after it.

The following sentences are grammatically incorrect:

The narrow path was covered falling snow underfoot.

I was tasked with destroying a sniper perched on a tree.

B)It is impossible for a participle and a qualified word to be used in different gender, number and case:

One of the miracles on the Kuril ridge, attractive tourists, associated with geysers and volcanoes.

In this sentence the participial phrase refers to the combination "one of miracles" and must agree with the main word in this phrase ("one") in gender, number and case. Therefore, the participle phrase should look like this: "one of the wonders of the world"(WHICH?) "attracting her tourists". The correct way to construct this sentence is: One of the miracles on the Kuril ridge, attractive tourists, associated with geysers and volcanoes.

Do not forget:the participle and the word being defined must agree in gender, number and case, which is checked by the question that is asked from the word being defined to the participle.

The following sentence is incorrect from a grammatical point of view:

Some from travelers, former in the tributaries of the Amazon River, a plant with huge floating leaves was described.

IN)You cannot use a participial phrase in a sentence after a noun that is not a qualifying word for this participial phrase:

The forest stretches from north to south, consisting mainly of coniferous trees.

In this sentence the participial phrase comes after the noun "south", which is not defining for him. The participial phrase characterizes the word "forest" and should be consumed after it. Hence, correct is the following sentence construction option:

The forest, consisting mainly of coniferous trees, stretches from north to south.

3. Incorrect use in a sentence proper names , enclosed in quotation marks and representing the names of literary works, newspapers, magazines, paintings, films, television shows, etc. :

A)You cannot use in any case other than the nominative the names of literary works, newspapers, magazines, paintings, films, television programs if they are preceded by a generic concept - a common noun - “novel”, “story”, “poem”, “picture”, “magazine”, “newspaper”, “television show”, etc.

Wrong option : IN magazine "New World"

Correct option : IN magazine "New World" A review of the new novel has been published.

Wrong option : In ode Pushkin "Liberties" The theme of freedom comes up.

Correct option : In ode Pushkin "Liberty" The theme of freedom comes up.

Wrong option : Many readers know the writer Troepolsky from his book "White Bim Black Ear".

Correct option : Many readers know the writer Troepolsky from his book "White Bim Black Ear".

B)The title, enclosed in quotation marks and given WITHOUT a generic word (“novel”, “story”, “poem”, “picture”, “magazine”, “newspaper”, “television program”, etc.), changes according to cases:

IN "War and Peace" over five hundred works are active.

Wrongfrom the point of view of grammar are sentences:

Magazine "Nature" We have been prescribing for many years.

IN trading complex "Yubileinom" a new electrical goods section has been opened.

4. Incorrect sentence construction with derivative prepositions “thanks to”, “according to”, “despite” and the non-derivative preposition “by” used in figures of speech “on completion”, “on arrival”, “on completion”, “on arrival”.

A)After prepositions “thanks to”, “according to”, “despite” nouns are used only in the form dative case(WHAT?) and in no other:

Wrong options :

True success can only be achieved through hard work, perseverance and deep human knowledge. According to established in the navy traditions contrary to established rules, not in summer, but in winter.

Correct construction these proposals:

True success can only be achieved through (WHAT?) work, perseverance and deep knowledge of a person. According to (WHAT?) established in the navy traditions, crossing the equator is considered a significant event. It was decided to carry out work on the strait, contrary to(WHAT?) established rules, not in summer, but in winter.

Remember:pretext thanks to is used only when we are talking about the reasons that caused a positive result. Therefore, phrases with this preposition in combination with something negative should be considered incorrect: People were injured due to the train crash.

B) Non-derivative preposition "BY" in meaning "after something" used with a noun only in the form of the prepositional case.

:

Upon arrival

On arrival

Finishing

Correctconstruction of these sentences:

On arrival (= after arrival) When he arrived in the city he felt ill.

Upon arrival (= after arrival) In Venice, I immediately visited old friends.

Upon completion (= after completion) construction workers left the site in perfect order.

5. Incorrect construction of sentences when quoting.

It is unacceptable that when using quotes as explanatory clauses, they use the personal pronoun “I”:

In my memories Korolenko wrote that Always " I

Correcta variant of this proposal:

In my memories Korolenko wrote that Always " He I saw true intelligence in Chekhov’s face.”

6. Incorrect construction of complex sentences starting with words “all who...”, “those who...”, “none of those who...”.

In complex sentences built according to the model “all who...”, “those who...”, “none of those who...”, with subject "Who" the predicate verb is placed singular, and when "those", "all" - in the plural.

Incorrectly constructed sentences :

Those who have been to Kizhi, saw

All, who visited

In the first sentence the subject is "those" requires a predicate verb in the form plural "saw" . In the second example the subject "Who" must be used with a predicate verb in the form singular "been" .

Therefore, the correct options for constructing these sentences are as follows:

Those who have been to Kizhi, saw and, how a stone ridge stretches along the entire lake, like the backbone of a giant animal.

All, who visited on the White Sea, they know that hunting begins there in February.

Remember: those (all) + predicate verb in plural;

Who + predicate verb singular.

Let's give some more examples grammatically incorrect sentences:

Those, who didn't know the words of the song silently opened their mouths.

Those who were the older ones offered chairs.

C1

Write an essay based on the text you read.

(1) Polya’s inflamed state, and most importantly, her confused, ambiguous speech - everything suggested the worst guesses, much more terrible than even Rodion’s captivity or his mortal wound.

(2) “No, this is completely different,” Polya shuddered and, turning to the wall, took out a crumpled, over-read triangle from under the pillow.

(3) Subsequently, Varya was ashamed of her initial assumptions. (4) Although rare transit trains did not stay in Moscow, the stations were nearby, and Rodion knew Polina’s address. (5) Of course, the command might not have allowed the soldier to leave the train to the Blagoveshchensk dead-end street, then why didn’t he at least write a postcard to his beloved one on his way to the active army?..

(6) So, this was the first news from the front with a delay of more than two weeks. (7) In any case, now it will become clear with what thoughts he went to war. (8) Varya impatiently unfolded the piece of paper, which was all pierced with a pencil - apparently it was written on her knee. (9) I had to go to the lamp to make out the dim, half-finished lines.

(10) Varya immediately came across the main place.

(11) “Perhaps the only reason, my dear, why I was silent all this time - there was nowhere to settle down,” Rodion wrote briefly, with unexpected completeness and straightforwardly, as in a confession. (12) “We are still retreating for now, day and night we retreat, occupy more advantageous defensive positions, as they say in the reports. (13) I was very sick, and even now I have not fully recovered: my illness is worse than any shell shock. (14) The most bitter thing is that I myself am completely healthy, all whole, there is not a single scratch on me yet. (15) Burn this letter, I can tell you alone in the whole world about this,” Varya turned the page.

(16) The incident happened in a Russian village, which our unit passed through in retreat. (17) I was the last in the company... and maybe the last in the entire army. (18) In front of us on the road stood a local girl of about nine years old, just a child, apparently taught at school to love the Red Army... (19) Of course, she did not really understand the strategic situation. (20) She ran up to us with wildflowers, and, as it happened, I got them. (21) She had such inquisitive, questioning eyes - the midday sun is a thousand times easier to look at, but I forced myself to take the bouquet, because I am not a coward, I swear to you by my mother, Polenka, that I am not a coward. (22) I closed my eyes, but took it from her, abandoned to the mercy of the enemy... (23) Since then, I have kept that dried broom with me constantly, on my body, like a burden of fire in my bosom, I order it to be put on myself in the grave, if what will happen. (24) I thought I would bleed seven times before I became a man, but this is how it happens, dry... and this is the font of maturity! (25) Then two lines were completely illegible. - (26) And I don’t know, Polenka, whether my whole life will be enough to pay for that gift..."

- (27) yes, he has grown up a lot, your Rodion, you’re right... - Varya said, folding the letter, because with such a line of thinking it is unlikely that this soldier would be capable of any reprehensible act.

(28) Hugging, the girlfriends listened to the rustle of the rain and the rare, faded beeps of cars. (29) The topic of the conversation was the events of the past day: the exhibition of captured aircraft that opened on the central square, the unfilled crater on Veselykh Street, as they were already accustomed to calling it among themselves, Gastello, whose selfless feat resounded throughout the country in those days.
