Separate definition: examples. Sentences with isolated definitions: examples

If people did not decorate their speech with additional definitions or explanatory circumstances, it was uninteresting and not bright. The whole population of the planet would speak in business or official style, there would be no art books, and fairy-tale heroes would not expect children before going to bed.

It is the discrete definition that is found in speech. Examples can be found both in simple conversational speech and in fiction.

Definition

The definition is part of the sentence and describes the feature of the subject. It answers the questions "what-or, -y, -y?", Determining the subject or "someone's, -ie, -y?", Indicating its belonging to someone.

Most often, adjectives perform the definition function, for example:

• Good (what?) Heart;
• Gold (what?) Nugget;
• Bright (what?) Appearance;
• Ancient (what?) Friends.

In addition to adjectives, the definitions in the sentence can be pronouns that indicate the person's belonging to the object:

• The boy took (whose?) His portfolio;
• Mom's ironing (whose?) Is her blouse;
• The brother sent my friends (whose?) To their homes;
• The father poured (whose?) My tree.

In the sentence, the definition is emphasized by a wavy line and always refers to a subject expressed by a noun or another part of speech. This part of the sentence can consist of one word or be a combination with other, dependent on it words. In this case, these are sentences with separate definitions. Examples:

• "Joyful, she reported this news." In this sentence, a single adjective is detached.
• "The garden, overgrown with weeds, was in a deplorable state." A separate definition is the participial turnover.

• "Happy with the successes of her son, my mother secretly wiped tears of joy." Here the adjective with dependent words is an isolated definition.

Examples in the sentence show that different parts of speech can be a definition of the quality of an object or its belonging.

Separate definitions

Separate definitions are those that give additional information about a subject or specify its belonging to a person. The meaning of the sentence does not change if you remove a separate definition from the text. Examples:

• "Mom suffered a child who fell asleep on the floor in his crib" - "Mom moved the child to his crib."

• "Excited by the first performance, the girl squeezed her eyes before going out on stage" - "The girl squeezed her eyes before going out on stage."

As you can see, sentences with separate definitions, examples of which are given above, sound more interesting, since the additional explanation conveys the state of the object.

Separate definitions can be consistent and inconsistent.

Agreed Definitions

Definitions that are consistent with the word whose quality is defined in the case, gender and number are called consistent. In the offer they can be presented:

• Adjective - a yellow leaf fell from the tree (what?);
• A pronoun - my dog disappeared from the leash (whose?);
• Numeral - give him (what?) Second chance;
• Participle - in the front garden was visible (what?) Green grass.

The same properties with respect to the word being defined have a separate definition. Examples:

• "Briefly said (what?), His speech impressed everyone". The participle "spoken" stands in the feminine gender, singular, nominative, like the word "speech", which it defines.
• "We went outside (what?), Still wet from the rain." The adjective "wet" stands in the same number, gender and case, as the word "street" that he defines.
• "People (what?), Happy from the upcoming meeting with the actors, went to the theater." Since the word in question stands in the plural and nominative, the definition also agrees with it in this.

A separate consistent definition (examples have shown this) can stand either before the word being determined, or after it or in the middle of a sentence.

Uncoordinated definition

When the definition does not change in gender and number in accordance with the main word, it is inconsistent. There are 2 ways to connect them with a definable word:

1. Adjunction is a combination of stable word forms or an invariable part of speech. For example: "He loves eggs (what?) Soft-boiled."
2. Management is the formulation of a definition in the case, which requires a definable word. Often point to the sign for the material, the purpose or location of the object. For example: "The girl sat on a chair (which?) Of wood."

Several parts of speech can express an uncoordinated detached definition. Examples:

• Noun in the instrumental or prepositional case with the prepositions "c" or "c". Nouns can be either single or with dependent words - Asya met Olga after the exam (which?), In the chalk, but satisfied with the assessment. ("In the chalk" is an inconsistent definition, expressed by a noun in the prepositional case).
• A verb in an indefinite form, answering the question "what?", "What to do?", "What to do?". In Natasha's life there was one big joy (what?) - to give birth to a child.
• Comparative degree of the adjective with dependent words. We noticed from a distance a friend in a dress (which?), Brighter than she usually wears.

Each isolated definition, examples confirm this, can differ in its structure.

Structure of definitions

The structure of the definition may include:

• From a separate word, for example, a delighted grandfather;
• Adjective or participle with dependent words - grandfather, delighted with the news;
• From several separate definitions - the grandfather, pleased with the told news.

The separation of definitions depends on which word they define and where they are located. Most often they stand out intonation and commas, less often - a dash (for example, the greatest luck (what?) - to break the jackpot in the lottery).

Separation of the Sacrament

The most popular isolated definition, examples of which are found most often, is a single participle (participial turnover). Commas with this kind of definition is put, if it stands after the word that defines.

• The girl (what?), Frightened, silently went ahead. In this example, the participle determines the state of the object and stands after it, so it is separated from both sides by commas.
• The picture (which?), Written in Italy, became his favorite creation. Here the participle with the dependent word selects the object and stands after the word being defined, therefore it is also separated by commas.

If the sacrament or participial turnover is up to the word being determined, then punctuation marks are not put:

• Frightened girl silently went forward.
• The painting painted in Italy became his favorite creation.

One should know about the formation of participles in order to use such a detached definition. Examples, suffixes in the formation of participles:

• When creating a real communion in the present. Time from the verb 1 of conjugation, the suffix -yush-yush is written (thinks - thinking, writing - writing);
• When creating in the present. Time of the actual participle 2 c., Use -asch-jasch (smoky - fuming, sting - stinging);
• In the past tense, actual participles are formed with the help of the suffix -in (written, written, spoken, spoken);
• Passive participles are created with the addition of suffixes -nn-enn in the past tense (invented - invented, offended - offended) and -em, -th-im and -t in the present (leads - wingman, love - beloved).

In addition to the sacrament, the adjective is equally common.

Separation of the adjective

Single or with dependent words adjectives are separated in the same way as participles. If the isolated definition (examples and rules are similar to participles) is after the word being defined, then the comma is put, and if before, then no.

• The morning, gray and misty, did not have a walk. (A gray and foggy morning did not have a walk).

• Mom, angry, can remain silent for several hours. (An angry mother can remain silent for several hours).

Separation in the determined personal pronoun

When the participle or adjective refers to a pronoun, they are separated by a comma, regardless of where they are located:

• Frustrated, she went into the yard.
• They, tired, went straight to bed.
• He, red with embarrassment, kissed her hand.

When a distinguished word is shared by other words, a detached definition (examples from fiction this demonstrate) are also allocated with commas. For example, "Suddenly the whole steppe stirred up and, enveloped in a dazzling blue light, expanded (M. Gorky).

Other definitions detachments

A separate definition (examples, rules below) can convey the meaning by kinship or profession, then they are also allocated with commas. For example:

• The professor, a young handsome man, looked at his new entrants.

• Mom, in the usual dressing gown and apron, has not changed at all this year.

In such constructs, isolated definitions carry additional messages about the object.

The rules seem complicated at first glance, but if you understand their logic and practice, the material is well absorbed.
