Sentences with different types of predicates. Predicate

Definition of predicate

The predicate is the main member of a sentence, which denotes what is said about the subject of speech (the subject of speech in a sentence denotes the subject). The predicate usually agrees with the subject and answers the general question: what is said about the subject of speech?(In most cases, more specific questions can be asked about the predicate - what does the item do? what's happening to him? what is he like? what is he? who is he? and etc.) To me will be remembered the melting of snow in this bitter and early spring.(what does it say about snow melting?) . Child coming barefoot along the path, carries strawberries in an open basket(what is the child doing?). Like a golden bird trembling fire in the dark(what happens to the fire?). AND yellowish And red the moon is in the last quarter(what is the moon like?). We are an early taste of nature(what are we?) . I'm a fisherman(Who am i?) , and the nets were carried out to sea.(A.A. Tarkovsky)

Exercise. Find the predicates and highlight them.

Sir, I am a hat and hat maker. I make the best hats and caps in the world. Today I worked all night for you, sir, and cried like a child with grief. This is such a tragic, special style. This is an invisibility hat. As soon as you put it on, you will disappear, and the poor master will never know whether it suits you or not. Take it, just don’t try it on in front of me. I can't stand this! (E.L. Schwartz)

Answer. Sir, I am engaged in hat and hat business master. I I do the best hats and caps in the world. Today I'm up all night have worked at you, sir, and cried like a child, with grief. It's so tragic, special style. This invisible hat. As soon as you put it on, so disappear, and the poor master forever won't know, coming whether she is for you or not. Take it, only don't try it on with me. I this I can't bear it! (E.L. Schwartz)

Lexical and grammatical meaning of the predicate

Each predicate has lexical and grammatical meanings. The lexical meaning of the predicate is the name of the action (I go to that familiar mountain a hundred times a day I'm coming. V.A. Zhukovsky), states (Already turns pale day, hiding behind the mountain. V.A. Zhukovsky), quality (Like the sun behind the mountain captivating sunset... Silent And sad dear Svetlana. V.A. Zhukovsky), generic concept (Love There is sky gift. V.A. Zhukovsky) and etc.
The grammatical meaning of the predicate is tense and mood.
Lexical and grammatical meanings can be expressed in one word, or in two or more words.

Simple verb predicate

A predicate in which the lexical and grammatical meanings are expressed in one word - a verb in the form of some mood - is called a simple verb. Grasshopper in the meadow chirps in his protective raincoat.(A.A. Tarkovsky) – exc. on, present vr. Sergey Sergeich, I I'll go And will wait you in the office.(A.S. Griboyedov) – excised. onl., bud. vr. (the first verb is in the form of a simple future, the second - a future compound; both predicates are simple verbs). My father's house was still in the spring of my days left I.(V.A. Zhukovsky) – excised. on, elapsed time You, fellow youths, take the horse. (A.S. Pushkin) – rev. incl. I never I wouldn't know you, I wouldn't know bitter torment...(A.S. Pushkin) – conditional. incl.
A simple verbal predicate can be expressed by a phraseological phrase that contains a verb in some mood. Deceased With went crazy eight times.(A.S. Griboyedov) Hussar Pykhtin visited us; how he was seduced by Tanya, how crumbled into a little demon! (A.S. Pushkin)

Simple verbs also include predicates that do not have a formal indicator of mood, tense, or grammatical subordination to the subject. These are predicates, expressed

truncated verb forms: push, grab, bam etc. ... Lighter than a shadow Tatyana jump to another entryway, from the porch to the yard...(A.S. Pushkin); And you, madam, are just out of bed jump, with a man! with the young one!(A.S. Griboyedov); ...And Prince Guidon from the shore with a sad soul accompanies their long run; lo and behold- a white swan swims on top of the flowing waters.(A.S. Pushkin); I'm hurrying here grab, hit the threshold with his foot and stretched out to his full height.(A.S. Griboedov); But princess in both hands grab- caught it.(A.S. Pushkin);

infinitive in the meaning of the indicative mood: And the queen laugh, and shoulders shake, And wink with your eyes, and snap fingers, and spin, akimbo, looking proudly in the mirror.(A.S. Pushkin)

It happens that in simple verbal predicates, verbal forms of one mood are used in the meaning of another; then additional semantic shades arise. For example, in the sentence She doesn't notice him like he don't worry, though die (A.S. Pushkin) the form of the imperative mood is used in the indicative meaning (cf. no matter how he fought), but with the additional meaning of conditional (cf. no matter how he fights).
In a sentence ...You put your foot in the stirrup and rush around on a greyhound stallion; autumn wind blow either from the front or from the rear(A.S. Griboyedov) the imperative mood in the indicative sense creates an additional shade of possibility (the wind can blow from anywhere - it will not interfere with anything).

Compound verb predicate

A compound verbal predicate consists of an auxiliary verb and a verb in the indefinite form (in the infinitive). The main lexical meaning is expressed by the verb in the infinitive, and the auxiliary verb expresses the general grammatical meanings of mood, tense, person, as well as additional meanings.

In a compound verbal predicate, two types of auxiliary verbs can be used:

phase(indicating the beginning, continuation or end of an action): start, become, continue, finish, stop, cease, quit. Oh my god! What will start talking Princess Marya Aleksevdatsya, and people can deceive

on the!(A.S. Griboyedov);

I said something - he started laughing. (A.S. Griboyedov);

modal(with the meaning of possibility, desire, etc.): be able, want, wish, prepare, strive, decide, be able and etc. He's nice knows how to make you laugh everyone. Not with him bold I die uh, you have ask, on you take a look. We, Alexey Stepanych, are with you couldn't say two words. Ranks by people

there is. Ah, Chatsky! Love you are all fools dress up... (A.S. Griboyedov) Chichikov, as we have already seen, made up his mind at all don't stand on ceremony... Got it in my head it was for the night make a wish on the cards after prayer...(N.V. Gogol) But why with a rhymer to roam across the world in defiance of the elements and the mind so I want to and at the hour of death of the poet? I have done so little for the future, but I only yearn for the future and I don't want to start at first...(A.A. Tarkovsky)

Modal meaning can be expressed not only by auxiliary verbs, but also by some short adjectives and participles, adverbs (state category words), and nouns: glad, must, ready, obliged, capable, forced, necessary, possible, impossible, master, able, able etc. Molchalin for others himself ready to forget. She didn't give birth, but according to my calculations, must give birth. And you glorify This glad? After all necessary and depend from others. Not a craftswoman I'm on the shelves distinguish. (A.S. Griboedov)
In this case, the grammatical meaning of mood and tense is expressed by the linking verb be in the required form, so that the predicate consists of 3 words: 1) connectives; 2) an auxiliary component expressed by a short adjective or participle, adverb, noun; 3) a verb in an indefinite form (the absence of a copula, as in the examples given above, indicates the present tense of the indicative mood; it would be more correct to say that in such sentences the copula is zero). Entering the hall, Chichikov had for a minute close your eyes eyes, because the shine from candles, lamps and ladies' dresses was terrible. ...Alcides, closing his eyes and opening his mouth, was ready to cry in the most pathetic way, but feeling that it was easy could have lost dish, brought his mouth back to its previous position and began gnawing a lamb bone with tears. Fetinya, as you can see, was a whip master There are feather beds. The coachman, noticing that one of them was big hunter become on his heels, lashed him with a whip...(N.V. Gogol)
A compound verb predicate can have a complicated form; in this case, in addition to the infinitive of the main verb, the infinitive of the auxiliary verb is used: In my summer shouldn't dare your judgment have. (A.S. Griboedov)

Exercises

1. Find compound verb predicates.

How I want to breathe into a poem
This whole world changing shape...

I'm afraid it's too late
I began to dream about happiness.

I won't sleep on New Year's night,
I'll start a new notebook today.

I wrote down a long address on a piece of paper,
I still couldn’t say goodbye and kept the piece of paper in my hand.
Light spread across the paving stones. On eyelashes and on fur,
And wet snow began to fall on the gray gloves.

(A.A. Tarkovsky)

Answer:I want to breathe, I started dreaming, I couldn’t say goodbye, I started falling.

Predicate I will not sleep simple verb, because this is the future compound tense of the verb. Verb I'll start can be taken as a phase auxiliary, but there is no infinitive verb in the sentence, so I'll start– a simple verb predicate.

2. Find simple and compound verb predicates.

They saw a young nobleman beating a servant with anything. The stranger's entire appearance was remarkable, but the first thing that caught your eye was his huge nose. “What do you allow yourself?” - the philosopher asked sternly and heard in response: “I want to listen to the lectures of the great Gassendi, and this whip is spread out in my way. But, I swear on my nose, I will listen to this smartest man, even if I have to pierce this fool or someone else with a sword!” Gassendi's voice noticeably warmed: “Well, perhaps I can help you. What’s your name, young man?” “Savignon de Cyrano de Bergerac, poet,” the guest answered proudly. (A.L. Tsukanov)

Answer: simple verbs - saw it, it caught my eye(stable expression), allow me, I heard, I spread out, I will listen, I warmed up, they are calling, I answered; compound verbs – I want to listen, I’ll have to pierce it, I’m able to help.

It is important to draw students' attention to the fact that not every combination of a conjugated verb and an infinitive constitutes a compound verbal predicate. In a sentence Here began He to yawn And ordered take yourself to your room(N.V. Gogol) the first predicate is a compound verb (phasic verb in the past tense + main verb in the infinitive), and the second is a simple verb; action indicated in the infinitive take away refers not to the subject, but to some other person, servant or innkeeper, therefore the infinitive take away serves as a complement here. In a sentence He went look at the river flowing through the middle of the city(N.V. Gogol) infinitive of purpose take a look is a circumstance with a simple verbal predicate expressed by a verb of motion.

3.

One young Athenian went to court. He claimed that his decrepit father had lost his mind and was therefore unable to manage the family’s property. The old man did not make excuses - he just read the tragedy that had just ended to the judges. After this, the dispute was immediately resolved in his favor, and his son was recognized as a shameless liar. The tragedy was called "Oedipus at Colonus", and the old man's name was Sophocles. (O. Levinskaya)

1) went to court– simple verb;
2) survived– simple verb;
3) unable to manage– compound verb;
4) didn't- simple verb.

Answer: 3.

Compound nominal predicate

In a compound nominal predicate there is a verbal connective that expresses the grammatical meaning, and a main (nominal) component - words or phrases of different parts of speech (most often nouns or adjectives), which contain the lexical meaning of the predicate.

The verb is most often used as a connective in a compound nominal predicate be in the form of some kind of inclination. He's in Rome would be Brutus, in Athens - Pericles (A.S. Pushkin) – conditional. incl. In a harsh fate be stubborn, be gloomy,poor And bent... (N.S. Gumilyov) - command. incl. His voice was a song fire and earth...(N.S. Gumilyov) - will express. onc., past vr. Destructive will be crushed, knocked over fragments of slabs...(N.S. Gumilyov) - will express. on, bud. vr.
Present tense verb be usually absent; in other words, the copula is zero: Not a sinner he is in nothing, you are a hundred times more sinful. Liar He, gambler, thief. (A.S. Griboedov) However, there is also a copula in the present tense form of the verb be: Daughter of Hell, Malice There is co-maker countless cruel troubles.(V.A. Zhukovsky) Thought spoken there is a lie. (F.I. Tyutchev)
Other linking verbs can also be used in a compound nominal predicate: to appear, to remain, to become, to become, to be made, to be considered, to be called, to seem, to appear, to introduce oneself and so on.; they differ in meaning. The estate is ours was called a farm, – Kamenka farm, – main estate ours was considered Zadonskoe, where my father went often and for a long time, and to farm it was small, mongrel small in number.
In total it turned out to be more amazing wax in the city.
Then my childhood life becomes more diverse
. (I.A. Bunin)
Made our generals cheerful, loose, well-fed, white. Atrocities are large and serious often are called shiny... The atrocities are small and comic are called shameful... (M.E. Saltykov-Shchedrin) AND Seems at all not difficult, whitening in the emerald thicket, the road I won’t say where.(A.A. Akhmatova)

It can be difficult to correctly determine the boundaries of the predicate and its type if the sentence contains a verb be in conjugated form. It is necessary to remind students that this verb can be not only a connective in a compound nominal predicate. If it is used in the meaning of “to have”, “to be”, “to occur”, then it is a simple verbal predicate in the sentence. Yesterday was ball, and tomorrow will two.(A.S. Griboyedov) Left was gloomy forest, to the right - Yenisei.(N.A. Nekrasov) Here were relatives of those who went to where I was in a hurry. (N.A. Nekrasov)
Verb be is not used as an auxiliary in a compound verbal predicate: will fly, we will remember - this is the compound future tense of the verb and, therefore, in a sentence it is a simple verbal predicate. We we will remember and in the cold of Lethea, that the earth cost us ten heavens.(O.E. Mandelstam)

The nominal part of a compound nominal predicate is usually

short adjectives and participlesHouse of greenery painted (participle) in the form of a grove. Myself thick (adjective) , its artists skinny (adjective) (A.S. Griboyedov);

nouns in the nominative or instrumental caseDeceased was venerable chamberlain. (A.S. Griboyedov) Marriage to us it will be torture. (A.S. Pushkin) Lace, stone, be And become a web... (O.E. Mandelstam);

full adjectives in the nominative or instrumental case –After all crazy your father...(A.S. Griboyedov) Am I really real and will death really come? In such moments and the air to me seems brown... (O.E. Mandelstam) I I won't more young. (S.A. Yesenin);

adjectives in comparative or superlative degreeAh, evil tongues scarier pistol. Well, a constant taste in husbands most expensive! (A.S. Griboyedov)

In addition, the nominal part of the predicate can be expressed by prepositional case forms of the nounAnd I'm in front of her V unpaid debt. (A.A. Tarkovsky) Mind with heart out of tune. (A.S. Griboyedov); pronounLike all Moscow residents, your father that's how it is... My custom such: signed, off your shoulders.(A.S. Griboedov); adverbAfter all, I am a little to her akin. (A.S. Griboedov); infinitiveHis joy is in the forests wander for the animals.(V.A. Zhukovsky); phraseological turnHe out of my mind. Dearest! You not at ease. (A.S. Griboyedov)
The nominal part can be expressed by a phrase, the main lexical meaning of which is contained not in the main word, but in the dependent word. All old ladies - people are angry. He noticeable person... My husband - lovely husband... Ball good thing, bondage is bitter.(A.S. Griboyedov)
The nominal part may include conjunctions as if, as if etc., introducing the meaning of comparison into the predicate. Your every verse - like a bowl poison, What's up, burned by sin.(A.A. Tarkovsky)

Exercise.Find compound nominal predicates.

Vaska Pechenkin’s favorite pastime is flying a kite. From this peaceful occupation he made himself a robbery. When his kite is flown, Vaska feels like the only master of the sky, and in front of him our poor snakes are like sparrows in front of a kite. Pechenkin's serpent is powerful and huge. (K.I. Chukovsky)

Answer:launched, launched, feels like a master, like sparrows, powerful and huge.

A compound nominal predicate can have a complicated form if the copula is used in the infinitive and is supplemented by a conjugated auxiliary verb, which adds additional meaning to the predicate. Yes a smart man can't help but be a rogue. (A.S. Griboedov) Those who think that only those minnows believe incorrectly may be considered worthy citizens, which, mad with fear, sit in holes and tremble.(M.E. Saltykov-Shchedrin) So don't try to be smarter ... (O.E. Mandelstam)
There are predicates in which the lexical meaning is expressed not only by the nominal part, but also by a full-valued verb used instead of a connective. Typically it is a verb of movement or state: He will raise a cloud of dust, rustle with paper leaves and will not return at all - or he will come back at all another. (O.E. Mandelstam) In this sentence, it is equally important that it (rhythm or wind) will return (this would be a simple verbal predicate) and that it will become different (compound nominal). And you sat sadly (A.S. Pushkin) (sat and was sad). In school textbooks, such predicates are called a type of compound nominal predicate.

The bear cub was quite tall, with intelligent eyes, a black muzzle, and he lived in a booth in the lyceum courtyard. It belonged to General Zakharzhevsky, manager of the Tsarskoye Selo palace and palace garden. Every morning, lyceum students saw how, getting ready to go around, the general patted the bear cub on the head, and he tried to break free from the chain and follow him.
And then one day, before the eyes of the lyceum students, an event occurred that brought the bear cub into the political history of the lyceum.
General Zakharzhevsky, passing by the booth one day, to his horror, discovered that the booth was empty: the bear cub had broken free from the chain. We started looking, but to no avail: there was no bear cub either in the yard or in the garden. The general lost his head: two steps away was the palace garden... (Yu.N. Tynyanov)

Answer: 2.

Dash between subject and predicate in a simple sentence

A dash is often placed between the subject and the compound nominal predicate with a zero connective. The presence or absence of a dash is determined by what parts of speech the main members are expressed and what words stand between them in the sentence.
A dash is placed if the subject and predicate are expressed by nouns in the nominative case: Grushnitsky - cadet. Nature is a fool, fate is a turkey, A life is a penny! My answertitle this book.(M.Yu. Lermontov) Love- saint keeper ily il formidable fighter spiritual purity. Immortality... a quiet, bright shore; our path- to him aspiration. (V.A. Zhukovsky) Oh! My God! Am I really one of those people who target all life - laughter? (A.S. Griboyedov) The predicate can be expressed by a phrase with the main word - a noun in the nominative case: Tamanthe worst little town from all the coastal cities of Russia.(M.Yu. Lermontov)
There can be words before the predicate this means; a dash is placed before these words: Learning is the plague, learning is the reason that today there are more crazy people, deeds, and opinions than ever before.(A.S. Griboyedov)
If the predicate contains a linking verb, the dash is not placed: Providence was secret feedman is yours.(V.A. Zhukovsky) Expectation no violent death There is is it already real disease? (M.Yu. Lermontov)
A dash is not placed if there is a difference between the subject and the predicate.

particle (the most common negative particle is Not) : Sin is not a problem word of mouth is not good.(A.S. Griboyedov) But bad pun is no consolation for a Russian person... Passions nothing more than ideas at its first development...(M.Yu. Lermontov);

conjunction (comparative or any other): The bazaar is like a field, sown alternately with rye, oats, and buckwheat,(O.E. Mandelstam) At least ours Kabardians or Chechens although robbers, naked people, but desperate heads... (M.Yu. Lermontov);

introductory word: This Human, without a doubt, Jonah.

If the subject and predicate are expressed as nouns in the nominative case, but the predicate is before the subject, a dash is not placed between them: This valley is a wonderful place! These Asians are terrible beasts!(M.Yu. Lermontov) (in these sentences the words valley And Asians are subject, and nice place And terrible beasts– predicates). In the remark of the heroine of the poem by V.A. Zhukovsky The Prince of Kyiv is my parent subject parent, because she answers the question about herself, and not about the Kiev prince; therefore, the dash is not needed.

5. ...Vera's husband, Semyon Vasilyevich G...v, is a distant relative of Princess Ligovskaya.

(M.Yu. Lermontov)

A dash is placed between the subject and the predicate if one of the main members is expressed by a noun in the nominative case, and the other by a verb in the indefinite form (or a phrase with the main word - a verb in the indefinite form): to you in the world living is a disaster... Untested joy– by them live, for them breathe. Otrada to us - tears of happiness pour! To be great, to be wise- your definition... (V.A. Zhukovsky) Produce effect - their pleasure. His targetbecome a hero novel.(M.Yu. Lermontov)
It is also necessary to put a dash in the case when both main members of the sentence are expressed by verbs in an indefinite form: Scientist learn- only spoil.

A dash is usually not placed if the subject is expressed by a personal pronoun: I'm pathetic, I'm funny I'm ignorant,I'm a fool. (A.S. Griboedov)
A dash is placed if both main members are expressed in the nominative case of a cardinal number (or a phrase with a numeral) or one – in the nominative case of a cardinal number, and the other – in the nominative case of a noun: Wheelone of the most brilliant inventions in the history of mankind.

It is worth drawing students' attention to the fact that they need to distinguish between sentences with the word This between subject and predicate: Irpen is a memory of people and summer, of freedom, of escape from bondage...(B.L. Pasternak) – and sentences where the pronoun This– the subject and the dash are not placed between it and the predicate: This is truly a new miracle, it is spring again, as before.(B.L. Pasternak)
The teacher should be prepared for puzzled questions from students who have discovered that the rules for placing a dash between the subject and the predicate are very often violated in printed texts. There are at least two explanations for this. Firstly, not all cases described in detail in handbooks for press workers are considered in school. For example, reference books indicate that you should not put a dash if there is an adverb between the subject and the predicate: But this calmness is often a sign of great, albeit hidden strength...(M.Yu. Lermontov) Secondly, most formulations include the words as a rule, usually those. Variable punctuation is allowed; the presence or absence of a dash is determined by intonation, the presence or absence of a pause, and the need for logical emphasis. But in examination papers, students and applicants should not deviate from the rules; copyright marks are considered as errors.

The concepts of subject and predicate are among the most basic in the Russian language. This is where children begin to become familiar with syntax. It is very important that the student understands this section and consolidates it in memory, since all subsequent rules of punctuation, complex sentences and many other sections will be inextricably linked with the subject and predicate. These two concepts form the grammatical basis, so it will also be discussed in this article. Refresh your memory and help your child learn new knowledge.

What is the subject

First, let's look at the rule of the Russian language:

  • The subject is one of the main parts of the sentence. It can denote both an object and an action or a sign of a predicate. Answers the question “Who?” as well as “What?”.

As a rule, this member of the sentence is expressed by a noun or pronoun. It is emphasized by one feature.

  • For example, in the sentence “Grandma went to the market,” the subject will be the noun “Grandmother,” since in this sentence the grandmother is the main character.
  • If we take the sentence “He likes ice cream,” then the subject pronoun will be “He.”

However, there are other interesting cases in which absolutely any part of speech acts as the subject, if it can be defined as a noun. For example:

  • Five go to the right. In this sentence, the subject will be the word “Five,” although in its usual form it is a numeral. Here it replaces the noun, acting as the main member of the sentence.
  • Miser pays twice. In this case, the subject will also be the word “Stingy,” which is a noun, and outside the sentence it is an adjective.

A verb also often acts as a subject if it is in the indefinite form:

  • Going to the store is his main goal. This is a complex sentence, in one part of which the subject is an infinitive.

And finally, even a whole phrase can become the subject. These can be indivisible names, full name of the person.

  • Anna Sergeevna was in a hurry to go home. In this sentence the subject is Anna Sergeevna.

After some time, the child will be able to determine the subject intuitively, without reading the rules by heart.


What is a predicate

The predicate must be emphasized with two parallel horizontal lines; it answers the question “What is this?” and “What does this do?”, and also denotes an action or some attribute of the subject.

The predicate has several types:

  • Verbal.
  • Compound nominal.
  • Compound verb.

It is better to analyze each type of predicate separately. The simplest of them is verb.

  • The verbal predicate is usually expressed by a verb in certain moods: indicative, imperative, and also conditional. To determine the predicate correctly, you need to refresh your memory and remember what moods are.
  • Perhaps the predicate in the form of a set phrase.
  • Phraseologisms also belong to the verbal predicate.


The compound verb predicate is easy to notice:

  • In this case, two verbs answer the main question of the predicate. For example: “He still continued to eat.” The predicate would be “continued to eat.”
  • Or “The cat needs a lot of sleep.” Now the predicate is “you need to sleep.”

A compound nominal predicate is so called because it contains a linking verb and a nominal part: a noun or pronoun, adverbs, participles.

  • She was a beauty. In this sentence, the predicate is “was a beauty,” since the word “was” often acts as a linking verb, and “beauty” is a nominal part.

You may not be able to remember everything the first time, but after solving the tasks you will succeed.


What is a grammatical basis

The grammatical core is the main members of the sentence, namely the subject and the predicate. They are connected in meaning and are distinguished by horizontal features.

The base itself is usually highlighted in square brackets in the sentence.


Project for teaching syntactic topicsin 8th grade

"PREDICATE. TYPES OF PREDICATE"

Prepared by Bondarenko T.V., teacher of the first qualification category of MOUOOSH No. 11 p. Alexandrovsky Stavropol Territory

Goals: expand the concept of the predicate, introduce the types of predicate;learn to distinguish between simple, compound verb and compound nominal predicates;develop students' spelling awareness

Equipment: cards,computer, multimedia projector, screen.

THEORY

The predicate is one of the main members of the sentence, associated with the subject and consistent with it in gender, number and person.

In a sentence, the predicate is most often expressed by a verb agreed with the subject, but can also be expressed by other parts of speech (adjectives, nouns, participles, numerals, pronouns, adverbs). Answers the questions: “what does an object (person) do?”, “who is an object (person)?”, “what is an object (person)?”, “what happens to it?”, “what is it like?” .

There are three types of predicates:

- simple verbal predicate;

- compound verb predicate;

- compound nominal predicate.

Simple verb predicate

A predicate expressed by one verb in the form of any mood is calledsimple verbal predicate . In a simple verbal predicate, the lexical and grammatical meanings are expressed by the verb.

Ways to express a simple verbal predicate

A simple verbal predicate can be a verb in the imperative, indicative or conditional mood.

Examples of a simple verb predicate:

Brick done from clay.
He
is one of the first.
From the corner
appeared automobile.
All
become in a row.
Brother
It happens in Moscow.

Compound verb predicate

A compound verb predicate consists of two parts -basic Andauxiliary . The auxiliary part expressesgrammatical meaning predicate.

The infinitive form of the verb (infinitive) expresses the mainlexical meaning predicate.

The auxiliary part of a compound verbal predicate is expressed:

1) verbs denoting the beginning, continuation, end of an action:I began freeze, She continued play;

2) verbsobligations and short adjectives (must, can, ready, glad, etc.) For example:We ready help, He must leave, I glad hear your voice;

3)s status catches with meaningdesirability , necessity , possibilities:

Necessary support him.

3) words of the state category, expressing the emotional assessment of the action:It's nice to see you again, it's good to be in nature.

Compound nominal predicate

A compound nominal predicate has two components:bunch and the nominal part.

The most commonly used is the linking verbbe , expressing only grammatical meanings.

Ways of expressing the nominal and auxiliary parts of a compound nominal predicate

Nominal part as part of a nominal predicate the following may appear:
- a noun in the instrumental case, in the nominative case;
- comparative degree of an adjective, participle, short adjective, adverb, pronoun. For example:

The evening is getting warmer (comparative degree of adjective)
He is an innovator (noun in the instrumental case)
He seemed joyful to me. Autumn was warm (adjective)
Brother can be unbearable (short adjective)
The book was mine (pronoun)
The dress fit her
(adverb)

Auxiliary part a nominal predicate can be expressed:

1) verb formbe (was, is, will be, the zero form of this verb)I was happy ;
2) verbs become, seem, appear and etc.He seemed lonely ;
3) verbs with the meaning of action, state:
come, arrive, return, stand, etc. She arrived by train;
4) in the present tense, the auxiliary part (linking verb) can be omitted. There may be a dash instead.

Examples of a compound nominal predicate in sentences:

Is it really influence ( What ? subject) on people - not great art? Sin no problem , word of mouth not good . (compound nominal predicate with zero copula)
Evening how was your evening. Study – there's a plague . Scholarship – that's the reason .
The glory of these people is
true glory. There is, without a doubt, a "thunderstorm" the most decisive work Ostrovsky. (Belinsky)
Judas was small and not squeamish. Art - This is not a profession, but a talent. (D. Granin)
From this day on, Prince Andrei the groom began to go to the Rostovs. (L.N. Tolstoy)
My whole life was collateral the faithful date with you. (A.S. Pushkin)

EDUCATION, TRAINING

Materials for lesson No. 1 "Simple verb predicate"

1 . Job in pairs with sentences written on the board and on cards

- Find the subject and predicate in the sentences, write above the predicate how it is expressed

1). The songbirds have already woken up.

The birds are singing loudly.

The birds will sing even louder.

2). What is a predicate?

(The predicate is the main member of a sentence, which depends only on the subject and denotes its attribute or action. The predicate answers the questions: What does the subject do? What happens to it? What is it like? What is it? Who is it?)

3). What parts of speech are the predicates expressed?

(Verbs - predicates have forms of the indicative mood of the past, present and future complex tense.)

4) Draw a conclusion

Conclusion : Such predicates, in which the lexical and grammatical meanings are expressed by one verb in the form of some mood, are called simple verbs.

2. Consolidation. Work in pairs

Newton Isaac (1643-1727)

English mathematician, physicist, alchemist and historian. Born into a farmer's family.
At the age of 12 he began studying at Grantham School, and in 1661 he continued to study at Trinity College, Cambridge University, as a subsizer (the so-called poor students who performed the duties of servants in college to earn money).
After graduating from the university, Newton was able to receive a bachelor's degree in 1665. In 1665-1667. He continued to develop mainly those ideas that helped lead him to the creation of differential and integral calculus, the invention of the reflecting telescope, and the discovery of the law of universal gravitation.
In Cambridge he had to conduct experiments on the decomposition of light. In 1668, Newton was awarded a master's degree. In 1671, Newton finished building a second reflecting telescope - larger and of better quality. Newton owns ideas about monochromatic light rays and the periodicity of their properties, substantiated by the finest experiments, that underlie physical optics.
In 1687, Newton published his grandiose work “Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy” (briefly - “Principles”), which laid the foundations not only of rational mechanics, but also of all mathematical natural science. The “Principles” contained the laws of dynamics, the law of universal gravitation with effective applications to the movement of celestial bodies, the origins of the study of the movement and resistance of liquids and gases, including acoustics.
In 1705, Queen Anne was pleased to elevate him to a knighthood for his scientific works. In the last years of his life, Newton liked to devote a lot of time to theology and ancient and biblical history. Newton was buried in the English national pantheon - Westminster Abbey.

5. Testing the acquired knowledge followed by self-test

In this lesson we talked about the compound verb predicate. Why is the predicate called compound? Verbal?
I draw your attention to the fact that an infinitive must be present in a compound verbal predicate.

Verification work. Write down the compound verb predicates

(1) Little Isaac was constantly alone. (2) His peers did not treat him very well because he could always win at checkers and other games that required intelligence. (3) Young Newton could not make friends with any of these kids. ( 4) Thus began his loneliness - from birth to death....
(5) During his student years he felt
, What capable of solving problems that have troubled humanity for centuries. (6) Just thinking about it, he felt the frantic impatience and insatiable passion of the discoverer. (7) Of course, at Cambridge he will become a master, then a member of the college, maybe a professor. (8) He knew that members of the college could not get married. (9) Newton did not regret it. (10) Mathematics became his love...
(11) He knew perfectly well anatomy and physiology, various methods of treatment, which largely contributed to his enviable longevity.
(12) He did not particularly favor literature and did not like poetry, painting and sculpture at all.
(13) From childhood, Newton was able to introduce into his consciousness that lies, selfishness, violence, loss of control over one’s feelings and actions are mortal sins. (14) He was a true son of his Puritan age.
(15) Newton was characterized by faith in the original clear meaning of the Bible. (16) He tried to eliminate the discrepancies between secular chronology and Old Testament chronology.
(17) The passion for scientific pursuits could not leave him even in his later London years. (18) Although his creative age had long passed, he tried to strictly observe the training regime he had established for himself once and for all. (19) No one had ever seen him without work. (20) Work served him as a balm for mental anxiety.

Materials for lesson No. 3 "Compound nominal predicate"

1. Explanation of a new topic.

Let's write down the sentences and find the predicates in them. Determine how the predicates in these sentences are expressed.

1. He was mine brother . (linking verb and noun tv. p.)

2. He's mine Brother . (noun in the noun case) (zero connective!)

3. Blizzard it was scary . (v.-st. and adj.)

4. Earth great and beautiful . (short adj.)

5. Glass were broken . (verb connective + participle in name) or Glass were broken (participle in tv.p)
6. This girl
tall . (whole phrase)

7. Five plus five it will be ten . (ch.-st. + num.)

8. I was on guard e . (v.-sv. + adverb) on guard - sak, uyau bulu

9. All fish – yours . (pronoun)

10. He was a jack of all trades . (ch.-st. + phraseological unit)

Conclusion. This means that SIS consists of a linking verb and a nominal part. Usually the linking verb is not used in the present tense. Such a link is called zero. The nominal part is expressed by a noun in the nominative and instrumental case, full and short adjectives, participle, whole phrase, numeral, adverb, pronoun and phraseology).

1. Laboratory work on the topic: Compound nominal predicate.

Given: simple sentences.

Purpose: to determine which part of speech can express the nominal part in a compound nominal predicate.

Varieties of the predicate - one of the main members of a two-part sentence, grammatically subordinate to the subject, having a real and grammatical meaning, which are respectively expressed as follows:

1) the real value is the name of the action, attribute, state;

2) grammatical meaning – tense and mood: Summer is gone; The birds were excited; Autumn will be dry and warm; Earth is our planet. He was wearing a frock coat. Taking into account the way of expressing real and grammatical meanings, the main structural types of the predicate in the Russian language are distinguished: 1) simple and 2) compound. In a simple predicate, the real (concrete) and grammatical (abstract) meanings are expressed by one word form or a lexicalized combination of words. In a compound predicate, the real and grammatical meanings are expressed in two components - separately.

The predicate has a lexical meaning (names what is reported about the reality named in the subject) and a grammatical meaning (characterizes the statement from the point of view of reality or unreality and the correlation of the statement with the moment of speech, which is expressed by the forms of the mood of the verb, and in the indicative mood - and time) .

There are three main types of predicates: simple verb, compound verb and compound nominal.

Simple verbal predicate, ways of expressing it

A simple verbal predicate (SVS) can be expressed mono-wordly or non-wordly.

PGS - one word:

1) verb in conjugated form, that is, the form of one of the moods; in these cases the predicate agrees with the subject:

2) verbal interjection or infinitive; there is no agreement between the predicate and the subject:

And bam the hat right on the floor.

As soon as the music starts, the boy immediately starts dancing.

PGS - phrase:

1. PGS - a phraseologically free, but syntactically related phrase - can have the following structure and typical meaning:

1) repetition of the verb form to indicate the duration of the action:

I walk and walk, but it’s still a long way to the forest.

2) repetition of the verb form with a particle like this to indicate an intense or fully accomplished action:

That's what he said.

3) repetition of the same verb in different forms or verbs of the same root to enhance the meaning of the predicate:

He doesn’t sleep himself and doesn’t let others sleep.

I can't wait for spring.

4) a semantic verb with an auxiliary verb form that has lost or weakened its lexical meaning and introduces additional semantic shades into the sentence:



And he just say / know and sings to himself.

5) two verbs in the same grammatical form to denote an action and its purpose:

I'll go for a walk in the garden.

6) a verb with the particle was, introducing the meaning of a failed action:

I was getting ready to go to the cinema, but didn’t go.

7) design with an action intensity value:

All he does is sleep.

2. PGS phraseological unit denotes a single action, inseparable in meaning from the action and its material object; in most cases, this phraseological unit can be replaced by one verb: to take part, to come to one’s senses, to fly into a rage, to sound the alarm, to have the opportunity, to have the intention, have the habit, have the honor, have the right; express a desire, burn with desire, acquire a habit, consider oneself entitled, consider it necessary, etc.:

He took part in the conference (=participated).

Compound verb predicate

The compound verb predicate (CVS) has the following structure:

preinfinitive part + infinitive.

The infinitive expresses the main lexical meaning of the predicate - it names the action.

The pre-infinitive part expresses the grammatical meaning of the predicate, as well as an additional characteristic of the action - an indication of its beginning, middle or end (phasic meaning) or possibility, desirability, degree of commonness and other characteristics that describe the attitude of the subject of the action to this action (modal meaning).

The phase meaning is expressed by the verbs become, begin (begin), accept (accept), continue (continue), cease (cease), stop (cease) and some others (most often these are synonyms for the above words, characteristic of the colloquial style of speech):

The modal meaning can be expressed

1) verbs be able, able, want, desire, try, intend, dare, refuse, think, prefer, get used to, love, hate, beware, etc.

2) a linking verb to be (in the present time in the zero form) + short adjectives glad, ready, obliged, must, intend, capable, as well as adverbs and nouns with a modal meaning:

I was willing/willing/able to wait.

The phraseological unit can be used both in the pre-infinitive part and in the infinitive position:

He is eager to participate in the conference (= wants to participate)

He wants to take part in the conference (= wants to participate).

He is eager to take part in the conference (= wants to participate).

The complication of the GHS occurs due to the additional use of a modal or phase verb in its composition:

I started to feel hungry.

I felt that I might soon begin to feel hungry.

A special type of GHS is presented in sentences, the main members of which are expressed by verbs in an indefinite form: To be afraid of wolves, do not go into the forest. The auxiliary part of such predicates is atypical for compound verbs: it is represented by the linking verb to be, which is found in compound nominal predicates. In addition, the auxiliary part can also be represented by the verb mean, for example:

Not coming means offending.

The following predicates are not compound verbal predicates:

1) the compound form of the future tense of an imperfect verb in the indicative mood: I will work tomorrow;

2) a combination of a simple verbal predicate with an infinitive, occupying the position of complement in the sentence in the case of different subjects of action in the conjugated form of the verb and the infinitive: Everyone asked her to sing (everyone asked, but she should sing);

3) a combination of a simple verbal predicate with an infinitive, which in a sentence is a circumstance of the goal: He went outside for a walk.

It is easy to notice that in all these cases the conjugated form of the verb, standing before the infinitive, has neither phase nor modal meaning.

Compound nominal predicate

The compound nominal predicate (CIS) has the following structure:

nominal part (ligament) + nominal part.

The nominal part expresses the lexical meaning of the predicate.

The predicate part expresses the grammatical or grammatical and part of the lexical meaning of the predicate.

The nominal part is:

1) abstract: the verb to be (in the meaning of “to appear” and not “to be” or “to have”), which expresses only the grammatical meaning of the predicate - mood, tense, person / gender, number; in the present tense, the abstract connective appears in the zero form:

He is/was a student.

2) semi-nominal (semi-abstract): verbs appear (appear), happen, appear (seem), introduce yourself (introduce yourself), become (become), become (be done), stay (remain), count, etc., which express the grammatical meaning of the predicate and complement the meaning expressed by the nominal part; These verbs are usually not used without a nominal part:

He turned out to be a student.

She seemed tired.

3) significant (full-valued): verbs of movement, state, activity go, walk, run, return, sit, stand, lie, work, live, etc.:

We returned home tired.

He worked as a janitor.

He lived as a hermit.

When determining the type of predicate, the significant and semi-nominal copula can be replaced by an abstract one.

The nominal part can be expressed mono-wordly or non-wordly.

One-word expression of the noun phrase:

1) a noun in case form, more often in I. p. / T. p.:

He is/was a janitor.

The skirt was checkered.

2) an adjective in full and short form, in the form of any degree of comparison:

His words were stupid.

He became taller than his father.

He is the tallest in the class.

3) full or short participle:

The letter was not printed.

4) pronoun:

This pencil is mine!

5) numeral:

He was eighth in line.

6) adverb:

The conversation will be frank.

I felt sorry for the old man.

Non-word expression of the nominal part:

1) a phraseologically free, but syntactically related phrase can have the following structure:

a) a word with a quantitative meaning + a noun in R. p.:

The boy was five years old.

b) a noun with words dependent on it, if the noun itself is uninformative, and the semantic center of the statement is located precisely in the words dependent on the name (the noun itself in this case can be dropped from the sentence with almost no loss of meaning):

He is the best student in the class.

2) phraseological unit:

He was the talk of the town.

The connective part can also be expressed by phraseological units:

He looked gloomy and absent-minded - phraseology in the connective part;

A compound nominal predicate, like a compound verb, can be complicated by introducing a modal or phasic auxiliary verb into it:

She wanted to appear tired;

He gradually began to become an expert in this field.

Features of agreement between the predicate and the subject.

Inconsistent predicate

The agreement of the predicate with the subject is carried out in number, gender (for predicates expressed in forms that have a generic characteristic) and person (for subjects expressed by personal pronouns and predicates in the present / future tense and imperative mood).

The main problems in agreeing the predicate with the subject are related to agreement by number. Subjects that cause such problems can be divided into three groups.

I. In the subject of the word majority, minority, part

1) these words do not have dependent words in the subject:

Most decided to go to the cinema.

2) they have a singular dependent word:

Most of the class decided to go to the cinema.

3) the predicate contains a passive participle:

Most of the class was invited to the birthday party.

The predicate is put in the plural if the plurality or independence of subjects is emphasized:

Most of the boys and girls decided to go to the cinema.

II. Subject - numeral + noun in the genitive case

In this case, the predicate is put in the singular if

1) unity or totality is emphasized:

The hall seats one hundred people.

2) time or space is indicated:

Forty years have passed.

3) the numeral ends in one:

Thirty-one people went on the excursion.

4) the numerals (grammatically - nouns) thousand, million, billion are used:

A thousand people came to the concert.

The predicate is put in the plural if

1) in the subject there are numerals ending in two, three, four:

Two guys approached us.

2) the subject has all the definitions, these, those indicated, etc.:

All three invitees arrived at the same time.

In other cases, the predicate can be either singular or plural.

The question of the complex predicate in the scientific literature turned out to be extremely confusing: a) in educational and reference literature and in special works, the complex predicate is distinguished as one of the three main types - along with the simple and compound predicate; b) the concept of a complex predicate has completely different content, its criteria are justifiably contradictory. Shakhmatov’s system of three types of sentences, differing in the form of the predicate, became the basis for the subsequent characteristics of the three types of predicate: simple (cf. “single predicates”), compound (cf. “cohesive predicates”) and complex (cf. “double predicates”), giving them uncertainty and fuzziness of the main criterion [Ibid., 27].

A.M. Peshkovsky “very definitely proposed a system of two types of predicate” [Ibid.].

A complex predicate is a complicated simple or (more often) compound predicate.

The nominal or verbal type of a complex predicate is determined by the last component: if it is an infinitive, the predicate qualifies as a complex verb, if it is a name, then as a complex nominal).

Modal-temporal meanings are expressed by conjugated verb forms (they may not be present in the present tense). The nominal part in the first component (in the compound nominal predicate) of two-part sentences can be expressed by short adjectives: glad, ready, capable, intends, must, etc., and in one-part sentences - by words of a state category with a modal meaning (it is necessary, it is necessary, it’s impossible, it’s possible and under.) or with an emotional-evaluative meaning: fun, sad, pleasant, etc. The main part of the complex nominal predicate is connected to the first component using the infinitive to be or other verbal forms with the meaning of being, existence (live, exist, etc.).

Types of complex predicate

Complex (three-term, polynomial) is a predicate consisting of three or more parts. The following types of complex predicates are distinguished:

  • a) verbal (consisting of only verbs and correlative with compound verbal predicates), for example: decided to start treatment, hopes to quit smoking;
  • b) nominal (consisting of a predicative adjective, connective and nominal part, correlative with compound nominal predicates), for example: glad to be useful, ready to become a mediator;
  • c) mixed (consisting of verbs and names, combining the characteristics of a compound verbal and a compound nominal predicate), for example: he could become a scientist, he is afraid of being funny.

For example: He wanted to appear brave on the fourth bastion (Tolstoy);

And you want to live like a lamb (Goncharov); I don’t even consider myself obligated to feel gratitude to him (Chernyshevsky); I was no longer afraid to be and seem sensitive... (Chekhov) [Ibid].

The general typology of the predicate is characterized in the Russian language by the opposition of a simple and a complex predicate with the division of a complex predicate into a compound nominal and a compound verb. Predicate constructions, which, on the basis of certain characteristics, were considered as forms of a “complex predicate”, also have their place in the outlined system of predicate types.

Until now, in the Russian language there is no consensus on what the predicate is as the main member of a sentence. Which classification of predicate is preferable: semantic or structural? How to determine clear boundaries of the type of predicate? Whose method of studying predicates in school grammar should be preferred? All this is reflected in the practice of teaching Russian at school and in the quality of preparation of graduates for the Unified State Exam.

In our opinion, the definition of A. G. Rudnev should be chosen as a working definition of the predicate:

  • 1. The predicate as the main member of a sentence denotes the attribute of the subject that it possesses, either produces or perceives from the outside, and answers the questions: “who is (or “what is”) the object?”, “what is the object?”, “what does the object? or “what is being done with it?” .
  • 2. The predicate as part of a sentence performs three semantic functions: 1) establishes the subject as the bearer of the attribute in the possession in time of one or another attribute inherent in it; 2) denotes the action that the subject performs; 3) denotes an action that the subject perceives from the outside [Ibid].

Regarding the predicate and its structural types, “in our educational and scientific literature there is unimaginable confusion.” There is no single classification of predicate types; it is considered according to two options: structural and semantic. There are different views on the identification of structural types of the predicate. Scientific grammar distinguishes three types of predicate: 1) simple; 2) compound and 3) complex.

Linguists recognize that non-conjugated forms of verbal roots of words (such as bam, jump, push, etc.) can be used as a predicate, as a rule, in colloquial speech with a connotation of a sudden, instantaneous action of the perfect form in the past.

Combinations with a verbal reference word, which have not yet become phraseological units, but have already lost to varying degrees the “freedom of compatibility”: to conduct a conversation, arrange a reception, give a hand, make an impression, etc., are qualified in scientific grammar in two ways: a) they can be considered as predicate and b) a minor member can be highlighted in them.

Phase and modal verbs in combination with verbs containing an emotional assessment of the action do not have an unambiguous interpretation in the literature and are considered either as predicates or as combinations of predicates with complements.

A controversial issue in linguistic literature is the question of the predicate of a complex compound type. Unlike P. A. Lekant, V. V. Babaytseva, N. S. Valgina, who distinguish verbal, nominal and mixed predicates of a complex type, I. P. Raspopov considers these constructions to be a union of two predicates - main and secondary.

A controversial issue in scientific grammar is the inclusion in the category of a compound nominal predicate of constructions such as lay fainted, returned rejuvenated. In such sentences, two predicative features are expressed simultaneously - active and passive, therefore, the predicate can be qualified as “double” (A. A. Shakhmatov). In another interpretation, these constructions are regarded as a complex predicate or as a combination of a simple verbal predicate in the strict sense of the term, and the conjugated verb is not a copula.

All forms of the predicate are divided into two structural types - simple and complex - based on the relationship between real and grammatical meanings. According to the content of the predicative feature, the verb and nominal predicate are contrasted. The verb predicate denotes an active attribute (action), the nominal predicate denotes a passive attribute (quality, property, state, etc.) [Ibid., 136].
