Constructing sentences with adverbial verbs

A gerund denotes an additional action, and if there is a gerund in a sentence, then there must also be a predicate verb denoting the main action.

When using an adverbial phrase in a sentence, remember that:

1) the main action expressed by a predicate verb and the additional action expressed by a gerund refer to one person or thing

often the adverbial phrase is used in a one-part definite-personal sentence (where the subject is easily restored)

2) it is possible to use an adverbial phrase in an impersonal sentence with an infinitive

Participial turnoverDO NOT usein the following cases:

1) if the action expressed by the predicate verb and the action expressed by the gerund refer to to different persons(subjects)):

2) if in an impersonal sentence there is no infinitive to which an adverbial phrase could relate, but there is a combination of a verb with a pronoun or a noun as an object:

3) if the participial phrase refers to passive participles, because in this case, the subject of the action expressed by the predicate and the subject of the action indicated by the gerund do not coincide:

Standards of approval and management

The norms of coordination and management often fail us, or rather, we often distort them, despite their apparent accessibility.

    Coordination

Agreement is a purely grammatical connection (as opposed to control): knowing the form of the main word, you can name the form of the dependent word without referring to the lexical meaning of any of the components of the connection

Coordination is a weak connection (unlike control), since there are no main words that would always require dependents coordinated with them as a necessary condition for their use. However, this does not exclude the presence of cases where the dependent is obligatory

The main word in agreement is considered to be the one whose form is determined solely by the meaning conveyed in the statement; The form of the dependent is also chosen in accordance with the form of the main. However, in some combinations (cf. Russian young man-student), this criterion does not allow one to distinguish between the main and dependent elements, and they are distinguished solely for semantic reasons

Agreement may be complete or incomplete. In case of incomplete agreement, the assimilation of the dependent word to the main word does not occur in all of their categories of the same name: for example, in combinations with cardinal numerals (two large tables, two large books), the adjective of large agrees with nouns only in case, not agreeing in number, but the numeral two agrees with nouns in gender, but not in case.

Usually in descriptions of language grammars, agreement is presented as the coincidence of grammatical meanings (or their certain elements, for example, case, number, gender) of a noun and the word associated with it. However, this is not the only way of description: for example, traditional Estonian grammar contains the rule that in Estonian, when a noun is in the accompanying case, the adjective is used in the genitive case. There is also a variant of considering agreement, in which the grammeme common to the components of the connection is declared to be a characteristic not of individual word forms, but of the component containing them as a whole

    Control

Control is a type of subordinating connection, in which, in order to express certain semantic relations, the main word requires the placement of a dependent word (noun) in a certain case, with or without a preposition. For example, the verb see requires the placement of a noun in wine. without a preposition, if this noun names an object that is seen: to see a forest, a performance, etc. The main word is the word, the form of which is chosen only at the request of the meaning necessary for a given act of communication, and the dependent word is the form to -rogo is predetermined not only by the needs of a given meaning, but also by the main word. Therefore, the main word can be put in any inflectional forms inherent to it, and the choice of inflectional forms of the dependent word is determined by the main word and those semantic relationships in which the main and dependent words are between each other, cf.: saw (see, saw, would have seen and etc.) forest.

If, when agreeing (see), it is enough to know only the grammatical form of the main word and you do not need to know anything about its lexical meaning in order to name the form of the dependent word, also without knowing anything about its lexical meaning (for example, an adjective is a definition of a noun in it. p. husband gender unit h. will certainly be delivered in the same forms as the noun: strong wind), then with U. first of all you need to know the lexical and grammatical meaning of the main word in order to determine the form of the dependent, cf.: to do business. (creative p.), but do the job (vin. p.). Consequently, U. by its nature is a lexical-grammatical connection, in contrast to agreement - a purely grammatical connection.

A distinction is made between strong and weak U. Strong U. is due to the fact that the main word has such lexical and grammatical properties that it requires a dependent word that is in certain semantic relationships with the main word, cf.: wrote a letter, left the forest. With a weak U., the dependent word is not obligatory for the main word: the main word can be used in a sentence without a dependent one: I read this book in the library - I read this book. The number of strongly controlled dependent words is strictly determined by the lexical-grammatical meaning of the main word.

The main word in phrases with the connection U. can be a verb (read a newspaper), a noun (train movement, a glass of milk, a director’s order, an award decree), an adjective (angry with his son, full of nobility), an adverb (alone with nature)

A violation in the construction of a sentence with an adverbial phrase is an error that often needs to be identified in task 7 of the Unified State Examination in Russian for grade 11.

To find an error, you need to be able to find the participial phrase in a sentence, and also know that the participle and the verb must refer to the same person.

Violation in the construction of sentences with participles: example sentences

Let's look at several sentences containing the error “Violation in the construction of a sentence with an adverbial phrase” and correct them.

Offer:

While on the road, home is always remembered.

Participial phrase: while on the road. The basis of the sentence: the house is remembered. The predicate “remembered” refers to the subject “house”. The participle “being” should also refer to the word “house”. But in this case it turns out that the house is on the way, and this is incorrect. The narrator, that is, “I,” is on the way.

Correct option:

When I'm on the road, I always remember home.

Offer:

When workers leave their shift, they check the factory equipment.

Participial phrase: leaving a shift. The basis of the sentence: the equipment is being checked. The predicate “inspected” refers to the subject “equipment”. The participle “leaving” should also refer to the word “equipment.” But in this case, it turns out that the equipment leaves the shift, and this is incorrect, since the workers leave the shift.

Correct option:

As workers leave their shift, they check the factory equipment.

Offer:

While enjoying a delicious dinner, our conversation flowed serenely.

Participial phrase: enjoying a delicious dinner. The basis of the sentence: the conversation proceeded. The predicate “proceeded” refers to the subject “conversation”. The participle “enjoying” should also refer to the word “conversation”. But in this case, it turns out that the conversation was enjoying a delicious dinner, and this is not true, since “we” were enjoying the dinner.

  • Participial turnover in an impersonal sentence.

    Examples of errors: Watching the clouds, I felt calm. Going outside, he felt hot.

  • Participial phrase in a sentence with a predicate verb in the future tense.

    Examples of errors: Having solved the problem, I'm going to rest. Visiting exhibitions, he will write an article about contemporary art.

  • A participial phrase cannot be a homogeneous member of a sentence with a participial phrase, a predicate or another member of the sentence (except for isolated circumstances and some adverbs).

How to determine which phrase is used in a sentence?

Cases of incorrect use of participial and participial phrases in the Russian language are usually associated with the fact that schoolchildren confuse these speech constructions. To determine whether a sentence uses an adverbial or participial phrase, it is necessary to highlight its grammatical and syntactic features:

  • Find a participle or gerund;
  • Post a question ( Doing what? What did you do? or Which? Which? Which? Which?);
  • Determine the lexical meaning of the phrase (action or sign);
  • Define syntactic role turnover (circumstance or definition).

Examples:
Dostoevsky's novel, read in many countries, was translated to foreign languages (read in many countries- participle phrase, answers the question - Which?, agrees with the noun novel, in a sentence is a separate definition). Brewing tea, she always adds a little sugar ( making tea- participle phrase, answers the question - doing what?, depends on the predicate verb adds, in a sentence is a separate circumstance).
