Many students find it difficult to correct spelling of homophones, ie words that are pronounced the same, but differ on the letter.Moreover, mistakes in this, not only children but also adults.The most common causes difficulty spelling derivative prepositions which are written not as separate parts of speech, from which they originated.One of these combinations - is the choice of writing "as a result" or "consequence".And students and adults often make mistakes in them.The fact that it is impossible to memorize their spelling, dictionary will not help, since writing depends on the context.
How to choose the correct spelling?
It is necessary to know not only the students and alumni who are going to take exams.Every adult who respects himself and the people, which submits a written speech to be literate.But in fact, most people choose the way of writing naugad.Slozhnost that there are certain rules that can be learned, to write competently "due" or "investigation" should be easy to understand the difference in their meaning.There is a so-called congenital literacy, which is to be able to feel the lexical meaning of words.That depends on it, how to write, "due" or "investigation."
difference between excuses and independent parts of speech
To select the right writing, you need to know what different derivatives of prepositions and the words from which they originated.
1. The preposition "due" has no independent value, does not answer the question and not a member of the proposal.It is used only to separate parts of speech.
2. A noun can be replaced by another noun, close in value, excuse and replaced by other pretexts, often derivative: "Due to the bad weather - because of the bad weather."
3. The combination of the noun with a preposition can be divided between them by inserting a word.The meaning of this will not change."In last year's investigation."A derivative with a pretext to do so will fail.
"As a result" or "consequence"
What nouns with prepositions are always written separately, they know everything.So the main thing to understand how to determine the part of speech in the word.First of all, you can not take it away from the context.Only by reading the entire proposal, you will understand what part of speech it belongs.And then you can select the correct spelling.Compare the two sentences: "The investigation of the case have been discovered new facts" and "Because of frost canceled classes."Feel the meaning of the word "investigation" in the first sentence.It has particular value, means the phenomenon that can be represented.It is said in the proposal is about the investigation.And in the second sentence of his homonymous word does not carry any meaning - it says about the frost.How else can you prove that it is independent of the speech?By this way, you can ask the question, "What?" - "In the investigation," between prepositions and nouns may insert another word, such as "in last year's investigation."In the second sentence, the word can only be replaced excuse: "Because of frost canceled classes."The pretext is so closely associated with the noun that if removed, it will still implied meaning.
Noun
complexity of writing is still in the fact that the word as a noun has two variants of writing.The preposition "in" is written separately, in any case, but the end may be different.As with other nouns, his selection depends on the case.If the word is used in a sentence in the accusative case, the ending will be "e"."What?"- "As a consequence of the new employees are involved."But in this embodiment, the word is used infrequently.The most common writing "in the investigation."This form of the noun in the prepositional."In what?"- "In the investigation of the case revealed new facts."So you do not need to remember how to spell the noun "in the investigation."If you know the spelling rules, and be able to determine that it is a noun, the difficulties of writing it you will not.
preposition "due"
Like all derivatives excuses word like independent part of speech only in pronunciation.He writes is always the same: at the end of one word and the letter "e".The main thing to understand that before you in this context is a pretext.To do this:
- Try to ask him a question.Get answers to it only with the noun "as a result?"- "As a result of frost."
- Replace it excuse "because".Meaning of the sentence should not be changed.
- And most importantly, it is determined that the proposal is an excuse - meaning.He carries no meaning.
What conclusions can we draw?
turns out that the spelling is "due" - "in the investigation" is not regulated by any rules.What steps should be taken if you have met this word in the text and do not know how to write?Consider three options:
1. "Because of illness, he stayed at home." draw attention to the meaning of the word.It refers to a causal link, and assumes no independent value.It is said in the proposal of the disease, and the word "due" dependent.For it is impossible to ask the question: "due to what?"- "Due to illness".In addition, the word can be replaced by the pretext of "because of" - "Because of illness, he stayed at home."We conclude that this word - derived prepositions and written together with the letter "e" on the end.
2. "The investigation of the case have been made to the new facts." in the proposal of the investigation, as a phenomenon.By this way, you can ask the question: "what?"- "In the investigation."Replace it can only be another noun "in the documents."In addition, between "in" and the very word, you can insert another word: "In last year's investigation."Conclusion: it is a noun, so "in" is written separately.And since it is in the accusative - "what?"- It is written at the end of the letter "e".
3. "These clues are involved in the investigation." By the way, you can ask a question - "what?"- "In the investigation," it means a certain phenomenon, and it can be replaced with the word "investigation".Therefore, in this proposal, "in consequence" written separately to the letter "and" at the end, because there is a word in the prepositional.
turns out that all those who doubt how to write, "in consequence of" or "due to" the right to seek and do not need to learn.You must be able to distinguish derivatives prepositions and independent parts of speech.
