The school curriculum does not cover everything that the Russian language is rich in. Despite the fact that it has been studied for all eleven years, many schoolchildren have serious difficulties, which also make themselves felt in later life. The most common mistakes are related to grammar and spelling, and the level of punctuation knowledge tends to zero. Nevertheless, many people try to be more literate, learn the rules and try to follow them, which bears fruit. So, according to the results of sociological studies, the literacy rate among people over forty is much higher than that of younger associates.
This can be explained by several factors, for example, life experience - throughout life you have to deal with a lot of different information, which contributes to education. But back to the school where the basics are studied. More than half of the students write and speak with errors, often doubt the correct spelling. Particular difficulties are caused by the ending of words, as this can be considered the most complex material of the school curriculum. They often ask the question: “Will grow or grow? How right? ” We will try to answer it in this article.
Part of Speech: Verb
The above examples relate to such a part of speech as the verb. This is a fairly large group, which includes many words of the Russian language. What is a verb? This is the part of speech that indicates the action of the subject and answers the questions “what to do” and “what to do”. Verbs, in turn, are divided into perfect and imperfect, have conjugations and so on. But now we are interested in a little different, namely: grow or grow? Which of the forms is valid and spelling correct? The answer may be shocking, but both are correct. Why? This will be discussed below.
Verbs will grow and grow
So, as already mentioned, both forms are permissible to use. However, you should find out what are the differences between them. The verb “grows up” has a perfect form, as it answers the question “what will it do”, does not have a specific kind, is in the singular, future tense. Nevertheless , verbs cannot be distinguished by these characteristics, since the word “grows up” has similar properties. So, there is another characteristic with which you can determine when to use “grow” or “grow”.
Transitivity
Verbs are characterized by such a property as transitivity. Despite the fact that it sounds pretty scary, everything is quite simple.
Transitive verbs are those that transfer their actions to another object, and it is from them that one can ask a question to nouns and pronouns in the accusative case without using a preposition. For example, "read (what?) A book" or "scold (whom?) A boy." It is easy to guess that a verb is intransitive if its action cannot be transferred to another subject. For example, to run (whom? What?) Or fly (whom? What?). As you can see, it is impossible to pick up such verbs with such nouns that would come to them without an excuse. Immediately it is necessary to separate the group of
reflexive verbs (those that end in –sya) as intransitive. For example, the words “shave”, “tidy up” cannot be asked the appropriate questions. Thus, as you already guessed, the spelling "grows" or "grows" depends on this factor.
The form of the verb "grow"
So, now we know what transitivity is in verbs. It is this factor that distinguishes our "experimental". Define the transitivity of the word "grow." To do this, try to ask him the question of the accusative case: "whom?" or "what?". Raise (whom?) A son, for example. One of the questions is suitable, therefore, the second should come up: grow (what?) A flower. If it’s not entirely clear why we have the right to ask such questions, then it is enough to substitute the pronoun he or she at the beginning of the phrase. In this case, “he will raise a son” or “she will grow a flower” sound quite convincing.
The form of the verb "grows"
Now we will understand the form of the verb “grows”. We will follow the standard path, try to ask the question: will it grow (who?) - substituting the corresponding pronoun or noun is not possible, which means that the verb is intransitive. On the basis of the context in which it is required to be used, it is necessary to determine how the word is spelled: "grows up" or it is more expedient to apply "grows up". To do this, you just need to understand what form of the verb is required. Below will be analyzed examples that will help to navigate in use. Now it’s clear what to write: whether or not to grow, how to use these words correctly in speech.
Examples of use in the text
To be guided in how it is written: grows up or grows up, it is necessary to consider a context in which these words are used. To begin with, we will analyze the situations for the first verb - “grows up”. As we have already determined above, it is intransitive, in other words, it performs an action without reliance on any object. For example, such a phrase would be correct: "In a few years, he will grow up and become big and strong." Here we are talking directly about the object itself, the action does not go to third-party objects.
And for the word "grow" the following combination can be made: "The boy gave the word that he will grow a tree." In this sentence, the action of the boy is transferred to the tree, and the verb itself has a transitional form. So, the meaning of
root words has some differences that can only be determined in context.
How to check yourself
When wondering whether it will grow or grow - how to do it right, you need to learn how to independently find the answer to it. The information contained in the article should be more than enough. So, before you is a fragment of the text: “He decided that when ... he will certainly become the captain of the ship”, instead of “...” you need to substitute “grow” or “grow”. Let's try to ask a question from a potential verb to some noun dependent on it. Here the difficulty arises: there is no such word. So, we can conclude that it is impossible to ask a question, and there should be an intransitive form of the verb, namely “grow” - as we write, we already know.
Another fragment, the task is exactly the same: "Petya said that ... this puppy will take care of him and walk him every day." Here there is a dependent word “puppy” to which only one question “who?” Can come from a potential verb, which corresponds to the accusative case and, as a result, the transitional verb “grows up”. The simplest option would be to alternate each one and check the meaning of the sentence. After a while, a flair will appear that will help to do this correctly.
Conclusion
In this article, we examined how to write correctly: grow or grow, and it turned out that both forms are acceptable and depend only on the speech situation in which you want to use them. It should also be noted that you need to remember these cases. Their determination should occur automatically, so that there is no confusion in the preparation of the text or oral presentation.
Mistakes are often in verbal endings, so you should pay special attention to all the rules associated with their use. It is quite difficult to navigate this material right away, so you need systematic classes and refreshment of information in memory from time to time.
