Hyphenation of adverbs: rules, examples

Spelling adverbs - section in the spelling. Difficulties in the correct use of this part of speech in writing often arise. Hyphenation of adverbs is the topic of this article.

Prefix "by"

One of the common spelling mistakes is the separate spelling of adverbs formed from adjectives or pronouns and ending in -th, -th, -th, -ki. If in such words, as in Russian, in another way, schoolchildren rarely make mistakes, then in other cases even adults experience difficulties.

Hyphenation of adverbs is appropriate if there is a prefix "to". Examples:

1. Do you think everything you do should not be criticized?
2. In a good way , this essay on the work of Alexander Kuprin needs to be completely rewritten.
3. She hugged him in a friendly way , which he did not like at all
4. Even the maid spoke French in this aristocratic house.
5. The girl resembled a cat: she walked like a cat , her movements were distinguished by softness and incredible plasticity.
6. He was still returning home at dawn and preferred not to answer any questions from his wife.
7. The girl went into the apartment of the future stepmother and looked around in a businesslike way .
8. She visited the pool three times a week throughout the year, but only learned to swim like a dog .

It is important not to confuse such cases with such words as little by little, for a long time, less, more.

Possessive pronouns

It should also be called examples that are found, as a rule, in fiction. Hyphenation is used if parts of speech are derived from possessive pronouns. Examples:

1. The poet immensely loved the work of the prose writer Dovlatov, and therefore the words “It sounds like a sergeant ” became the highest praise from his lips.
2. She imitated her sister in everything. Even quarreled with her mother in an olympic way .

Complicated Adjectives

Hyphenation of adverbs also occurs when these parts of speech are prefixed by and are formed from two bases. But this does not mean that two spelling signs should be put in such words. The word social democrat is spelled. An adverb formed from this noun and the prefix “by” will have only one spelling sign. Examples:

1. They held meetings, as it seemed to them, in a social-democratic manner , and therefore they shouted socialist slogans and argued loudly about issues of the labor movement.
2. His father and grandfather were non-commissioned officers. He also had this rank. And therefore always behaved in a non-commissioned way and, that is, played a lot of cards and made intrigues with cabaret singers.

The prefix "in"

The hyphenated spelling of adverbs, examples of which are given above, involves the use of a single character. But there are adverbs consisting of several particles and two or more hyphens. For example: twenty-fifth, one-hundred-thirty-fourth.

Simpler constructions are known to all. The hyphenated spelling of adverbs (the spelling rule is included in the seventh grade program) is always used with the prefix “c”. Examples:

1. Firstly , the student was late for the exam.
2. Secondly , during the semester he did not attend a single seminar.
3. Thirdly , he failed the exam again.

Affix "that"

Hyphenation of adverbs (the table of rules and examples is presented below) is appropriate in such words as once, somehow, somewhere, somewhere, for some reason. Examples:

1. For some reason, it seemed to him that if he left today, he would lose her forever.
2. Somewhere far away, guns rattled and shells exploded.
3. Once he returned home enraged and expressed to her everything that had been haunting for many years.
4. They tried with all their might to hide from the public everything that was happening in the house, but from somewhere information, despite all efforts, nevertheless leaked.

Affix "either"

Adverbs are also written through a hyphen from somewhere, ever. Examples:

1. Vasiliev is the most gifted student of all that she has ever had.
2. Maybe someone would play this role, but the director needed an actor of such a nominal type.

Other cases

Adverbs with affixes “something”, “something” are not written together or separately. Writing such parts of speech can only be hyphenated. Examples:

1. Someday you will remember these words.
2. She wrote the composition somehow .

Words formed by repetition are also written with a hyphen. Examples:

1. He remembered for sure that the night light in her room was barely burning that evening.
2. In his new book there was a bit of flattery, a bit of a lie, and a lot of pathos.
3. The boy was spoiled, completely unsuitable for everyday life, and at the age of seven he did not know how to tie shoelaces crosswise .
4. Mother tightly tied the girl over a coat a thick woolen scarf and sent to the street.
