Separation applications

One of the important topics in the Russian language regarding punctuation, is called "separation of applications."In order to deal with this difficult issue, you first need to define what is meant by the term "application" in relation to the Russian language.

First, we should understand that the application - this definition.But expresses it or nouns characterizing the object on the other hand, giving it a different name or indicating nationality, profession, title or determining the degree of relationship (as opposed to just the usual definition, expressed adjective, participle or qualitative numeral), or an expression consisting ofa few words.A single application should be used noun in the same case and number as the noun that it defines and complements.

example is the previous sentence with the isolation of "noun" or the proposal to separate the application:

little house (and. N., Ed. H.), Miserable hovels (s. N., Ed. H.)hunched under a thatched roof, grimly looking at the world with their sighted little windows.

way, should pay attention to the fact that in a sentence with a single application of both words - and determined, and the application - nouns are common nouns, put a hyphen between them.This is one of the basic rules that explains the separation of the application, expressed by a single common nouns.

If one of the nouns is expressed in its own name, only in the case where the proper name is a household word in front, setting the hyphen is required.For example:

Moscow River slowly carried its waters by us, slyly winking sun glare.

There is no hyphen as a proper name after eating a household word.

Moskva river carrying its waters gently past us, slyly winking sun glare.

Moscow River demands that the hyphen between the words, because the proper name « Moscow » in front of the application, marked a household name.

Always allocate commas separate definitions and applications that relate to the personal pronoun, regardless of their position - in front of the pronoun, or after it.For example:

I, a young citizen of Russia, joining the ranks of the group "Young firefighters' I swear to fulfill the charter group.

tired, they quietly entered the warm cabin overheated.

slightly different rules is subject to the separation of applications that do not refer to pronouns.It plays an important role location applications.For example:

Mystery, bloody and terrible, and went with her to the grave.

(Wed bloody and terrible secret and went with her to the grave.)

From the examples we see that the separation of the application takes place only if the application is located behind the defined words (Mystery, bloody and terrible ...).If it is before the main word, no punctuation set is not necessary (for example, serves as a proposal marked "Wed.»)

popular applications, which includes a noun, segregated in any case, regardless of its location, andin the event that it determines or specifies a common noun.For example:

My sister, a beauty with long braids down to the waist, the girl was simple and sociable.

(Wed beauty with long braids down to the waist, my sister was a simple girl and sociable).

It should be noted that in some cases, when the author wants to make an application in at the end, more important, his marginalize via a dash instead of a comma.

That comes to an end of the month in November - the last month before childbirth.

There is another peculiarity of the characters in the isolation, that must be taken into account when writing.As for the features of the app with the unions "how."If this alliance can be replaced by the phrase "as" the marks upon application should not be followed.For example:

classmates as potential suitors the girls basically not considered.

If you treat applications with due care, then to avoid mistakes in punctuation at them - is quite real.
