You sign a card for kids, with all your heart you wish all the best and, of course, health. And suddenly you stop in doubt: “grow” or “grow” healthy - how to write this word? You can look in the directories or in the dictionary, but it is best to remember a simple rule and never again to doubt.
How will we check?
The problem is that it is not possible to check the vowel in the root using stress in this case. Its spelling belongs to the category of rules on alternating vowels in the root morpheme. In Russian, there are several root morphemes in which vowels alternate depending on certain conditions. Morphemes –rast– and –ros– are among them. So, "grow" or "grow"? It is known that there are several conditions that determine the spelling of a vowel in the root of a lexeme. First, we will talk about our case, and then consider the others.
“Grow” or “grow” - how to spell this verb?
This root refers to morphemes in which the spelling of a vowel is determined by which letter is located directly behind it. This rule works here:
- The letter a is written before the combination of consonants st and consonant u .
Examples : grow, grow, grow, grow, splicing, etc.
True, there are exceptions : moneylender, sprout, Rostislav, Rostov.
Of course, if the emphasis tells us which letter to write in the words with this morpheme, we will write it without taking into account the alternation condition: adolescent, growth, etc. - The letter o is written in all other cases: it has grown, grown, overgrown, etc. There is also an exception here : industry.
According to this rule, the question of how this verb is written (“grow” or “grow”) is solved simply: since a vowel a followed by a combination of consonants and the word does not apply to exceptions, it is spelled correctly: grow.
Spelling depends on the suffix
What else causes the change of vowels in the roots of words? The spelling of some roots depends on the meaning, others on the stress, third on the suffix following the root morpheme. Consider each case.
Here are the roots, the correct spelling of which dictates the suffix following them:
- Morphemes ter / dash, mer / world, der / deer, ber / bir, per / feast, sparkle / blister, stele / style are written with the letter and , if the root is the suffix -a.
Examples : wiped the board / overwritten the inscription, the bird froze / froze with admiration, pulled out a nail / peeled off the wallpaper, put it on the table / put it in the closet, unlocked the chest / unlocked the door; the snow is shining / the star is shining.
- Morphemes lag / lodges, braid / cas are written with the letter a, if the root is the suffix -a.
Examples : make an effort / put a ruler, touched a question / touch a hand.
What roots spelling dictates stress
Now consider the roots, the spelling of which is determined by whether the stress falls on them.
- In morphemes gar / mountains, creature / creature, clan / clone under stress we write a , without stress we write about .
Examples : fresh tan, the room is on fire; God created all creatures; bow to your mother with a deep bow.
There are exceptions : utensils, burns, cots.
The spelling is determined by the following vowel.
Then follows the rule that we talked about, clarifying the question: “grow” or “grow” - how to spell this word. In addition to the above, jumping / jumping morphemes belong to this category.
- Before the letter k , we radically write a : early jumped up, long jump rope, long jumped.
- Before the letter h, we write about : I jumped on the stallion, jumped onto the stage, jumped out of turn. The exceptions here are: jump, jump.
Writing defines meaning
The last group consists of morphemes, the spelling of vowels in which depends on the meaning.
- The root - equal - has the same meaning, we write it with the letter a . The root - even - has the meaning of "straight, smooth," we write it with the letter o .
Examples : at regular intervals, align the walls. - The root - mok - has the meaning of “soak, let fluid through”, in it we write the letter o : get wet in the rain. In the root - poppy - the meaning of which is "immerse in liquid", write the letter a : dip the pen into the inkwell.
Spelling Lotto
“Gather” or “gather”, “inappropriately” or “rigorously”, “grow” or “grow” - how to write these and similar words correctly? This is a question not only of knowledge, but also of constant training. The spelling skill will help to develop a game that can be successfully applied in self-study and in Russian language lessons. The conditions are as follows: a table with orthograms is placed on the board, and students are given cards with words in which these spelling is used. The presenter points to one or another spelling, for example: - growth -, and students should select and show a word with the correct root from a set of cards: for example, grow up. You can do the opposite: write words with missing spelling on the board, and place the spelling on the cards. When the leader points to a word, the players will show the card on which the desired spelling is located.
Finally
Now, perhaps, we will not be confused with how to write: “grow” or “grow”, how to use other morphemes with alternating vowels, and how to avoid mistakes when we cannot verify the correctness of a particular vowel when stress relief.
