Predicate answers questions ... or how to distinguish the grammatical basis of the proposal

What is called the predicate?What kinds of predicates is in the Russian language?What is the grammatical basis and how to find it in a sentence?What questions are answered by the predicate and the subject?These are topics for many school years learning little by little children learn.And it's no wonder, because the topic is deep and has many pitfalls.

Grammatical basis

So, how to recognize the basis of the proposal?First you need to understand the definition of grammar basics.In fact, it is a major part of any proposal, which defines the object of his action and what he is.And it is this subject and predicate.The school is allowed to consider their phrase, but if you dig deeper, in linguistics it is not so.Questions subject and predicate are as follows:

  • subject - "who" or "what".This can be any object, person, animal, animate and inanimate creature and the pronoun that is used in the proposals in the nominative case.
  • second part of the grammatical foundations - the predicate.Answers the question "what he is" or "who he is", "making", "what is the thing", "what happens to him."

Examples of the main parts of the proposal

For example, you can take a few simple suggestions.

  • "The boy (who?) Is (doing what? - Here is the predicate verb) home."
  • "He was sad (what happens to the subject?)."In this example, the predicate is expressed by an adverb, namely the state of the main character.
  • "It is small (the subject of what?)."The predicate here is a brief adjective.
  • "Oleg - student (who he?)."In this example, the predicate is expressed animate noun.
  • "Baikal - a large lake."It uses inanimate noun, verb and answers the question "what is" or "he is."

compound verbal predicate

simple predicate, or as it is called verbal, it can be expressed in any mood.Always a verb, that is clear from its name.This verb replies to the questions raised at any time.It is not always a simple predicate is expressed in one word, for example:

  1. "I will sing.""I will sing" - a simple predicate expressed by the verb in the form of complex future tense.
  2. As if, as if, just as if, as if , used with the predicate - Model particles that do not emit a comma, as in the case with the comparative unions.
  3. "She had gone to the door, suddenly stopped."There "was" - part of the model, indicating the action that began but did not come to pass.Commas, such parts are not isolated, unlike introductory words such as happened and is , which are of regular repetition of actions.
  4. In the case of phraseology as a predicate to be distinguished from the composite type, you should remember the following: the first is easy to replace a word, but it can not be put in place "to be" (in any form).

composite nominal predicate

This type of predicate, in turn, is divided into subtypes can be verbal, name, or three-term.This part of the sentence may consist of two or more words that define the type.

main and auxiliary parts that are expressed in words denoting action form compound verbal predicate.One of them is always used in the infinitive form, and the second is expressed by verbs denoting the beginning, the continuation and completion of the action.As such words are used should glad I ready and others that are short adjectives.Also, this piece is expressed in words that indicate the state of having the value of the opportunities the desirability and necessity, as well as giving emotional evaluation activities.

nominal predicate answers questions about the actions of the subject and its composition can be an adjective and a noun in the nominative and ablative and communion, numerals, adverbs and pronouns that are used together with auxiliary verbs.

complex predicate is a union between a verbal and nominal predicates.
