How to write: "mad" or "mad"? You will find the answer to the question in the article. In addition, we will tell you about when certain words have the suffix -nn- and which -n-.
general information
Writing two or one letter “n” is the most difficult rule not only for students in the 6th grade, but also for adults who have long since graduated from a general education institution.
It should be noted that very often completely different parts of speech are combined in such rules . However, the conditions for writing these letters in them are completely different. That is why, in order to understand how “frantic” or “frantic” will be right, for a start it is necessary to determine the morphemic composition of a word, the way it is formed, and even its meaning. Moreover, almost every spelling rule “nn” and “n” includes an incredible number of exceptions. In order not to get confused in them, it is recommended to remember them or make a separate cheat sheet.
So, let's try together to determine how to spell the word: "mad" or "mad"?
Preliminary analysis of the submitted word
Before answering the question posed, it is necessary to determine which part of speech this word belongs to. Repeating them out loud: "mad" or "mad", you will immediately determine the question - "which?" And, as you know, the name adjective answers it.
How exactly was the word formed?
Having found out what part of speech we are dealing with, it is necessary to determine from which particular word this expression was formed. "Mad", that is, "enrage" (what to do?). As can be seen from the question, the word presented refers to the adjective and is formed from an imperfective verb. Thus, it is necessary to recall all the rules of the Russian language that relate to this particular part of speech (spelling of the suffix “nn” and “n”).
Spelling of one or two letters "n" in verbal adjectives
This section of the subject "Russian language" is studied in a general educational institution for more than one lesson. After all, the rules regarding “nn” and “n” in verbal adjectives include a lot of nuances.
When are 2 letters "n" written in verbal adjectives?
So, suppose the "rabid" is right. In this case, this word should refer to one of the following rules:
- The name adjective comes from verbs with a prefix. Moreover, the prefix “no” does not affect the spelling of “nn” or “n” (for example: connected, built or beveled ).
- If the verb adjective has the following suffixes: -eva- or -ova- . For example: uprooted stump, organized event , etc. By the way, there are exceptions to this rule: forged and chewed . This is due to the fact that in these words -ov- and -ev- are roots, not suffixes.
- If the sentence contains any dependent word (we give an example: assembled from rods ).
- If the adjective was formed from a verb that has a perfect look and answers the question "what to do?" (for example: grown - to grow). There is one exception to this rule. This is the word " wounded " (injure).
As you can see, the word "rabid" does not fit into any of the presented rules. Consequently, the suffix “n” will be applied in it and “mad” will be correct. But in order to finally be convinced of this, we decided to bring to your attention other rules regarding verbal adjectives.
When is one letter "n" written in verbal adjectives?
One letter "n" is written in those names of adjectives that came from non-prefixal verbs. For example: knitted, unkempt , and also rabid .
Existing Rules Exceptions
Before you apply these rules in practice and understand how to write a particular word, it is recommended to look for it among the exceptions. By the way, there are not so few of them: unheard of, ruddy, sacred, hammered, unexpected, unprecedented, slow, unexpected, praised? coveted, named (brother), unintentional, unforeseen, strange, cursed, cutesy, made, green, vivid, planted (father), spicy, lamb, pork, young, blue, crimson, smart .
Sequencing
How can you understand how much to write the letters “n” in a particular word?
- We determine which part of speech it refers to. "Mad" (what?) Is an adjective.
- We determine how this word was formed. "Mad" - "enrage" (what to do?) - the name is an adjective, derived from the verb.
- Define the features of the derived word. "Enrage" (what to do?) Is a verb of imperfect form, 2nd conjugation.
- We turn to all exceptions that are directly related to the rules we need (in this case, the spelling rules “nn” and “n”).
- If your word is not found in the exceptions, then you should look for the rule under which it falls. In our case, "rabid" is a non-prefixal verbal adjective of an imperfect form that does not have the suffixes -eva and ova-. Accordingly, it is written with one letter "n".
Using this analysis, you can determine how many letters “n” are written in almost any word. The main thing at the same time is to know or have at hand all those rules that are relevant to this part of speech and its spelling.
How to: "mad" or "mad"?
This question is similar to the previous one. But there is still a difference between them. It lies in the fact that "mad" and "mad" refer to different parts of speech. In this regard, the question arises as to whether this affects their spelling? You will find the answer below.
What part of speech does it belong to?
According to a previous analysis, before you understand how the word "rabidly" is spelled, you should determine its relationship to some part of speech. To do this, ask the question “how?” - "madly." Thus, the conclusion suggests itself is that this is an adverb. After all, this particular part of the speech answers the question posed.
What word was formed from?
Determining the source word from which this dialect is derived is quite simple. To do this, he should add the desired ending in any gender, case or number. In our case, it will look like this: "frantic" - frantic, frantic, frantic, frantic, and so on. Further to these derivatives it is required to ask the corresponding questions: “which?”, “Which?”, “Which?”, “Which?” and so on. As you know, only such part of speech as the adjective answers them.
So we found out from what word the adverb “rabidly” came from. Next, you need to remember the corresponding rule of the Russian language.
The spelling "nn" and "n" in the suffixes of adverbs
Those dialects that end with the letter “o” are usually formed either from adjectives or from passive participles. But in any case, they are written with one or double “n”, depending on how many of them have the corresponding participle or adjective.
Analyze
Having studied this rule of the Russian language, we should proceed to the analysis of our adverb "furiously." How is it written: with two "n" or one? Earlier, we found out that this word was formed on behalf of the adjective "mad", which has one "n". Consequently, our dialect will have a similar number of letters.
Here is an example:
- Adverbs that should be written with “nn”: excitedly, inadvertently, activated, unheard of, definitely, confidently (derived from the following words: excited, unintended, activated, unheard of, certain, confident).
- Adverbs that should be written with "n": learned (fairly learned expressed), confused (reasoned confused), windy (today very windy) and so on.
Back to basics
Of course, getting ahead of how many letters “n” in the word (adverb) is “crazy” has become much easier after we first disassembled its derivative - “crazy”. But what would happen if we did not do this in advance? In this case, the sequence of our previous actions would increase by several points:
- We determine to which part of speech the word refers. "How?" - "madly." This is an adverb.
- We determine how it was formed. "Mad" in full form will be "mad." In other words, our dialect has an adjective origin.
- We determine how exactly this adjective was formed. "Mad", that is, "enrage" (what to do?) - came from the verb.
- Define the features of the derived word. "Enrage" (what to do?) Is a verb of imperfect form, 2nd conjugation.
- We turn to all exceptions that have the necessary rules for us (in this case, the spelling rules “nn” and “n”).
- If your word is not found in the exceptions, then you should look for the rule under which it falls. In our case, “rabid” is a non-prefixal verbal adjective of an imperfect form. Accordingly, it is written with one letter "n".
- If the derivative name of the adjective "rabid" has one "n", then, according to the rules, the adverb that came from it is written with the same amount of given letters.
