The topic of the article addresses the problem of the syntax of the Russian language. It will answer the question of which members of the proposal are called homogeneous, how they are interconnected. And also their signs will be analyzed in detail. It is important to understand whether any members of the proposal can be attributed to this category.
Definition
It is best to understand the essence of the definition with an example:
- Pens, pencils, a piece of cloth, a thick notebook and a ruler lay under the table.
When analyzing a sentence , it is easy to find that the role of the subject in it is performed not by one, but by several words that answer the question: βWhat?β We list them: pens, pencils, scrap, notebook, ruler. To check, you can make a sentence with each word separately, for example:
- Pens lay under the table.
- A thick notebook lay under the table.
- A piece of cloth lay under the table.
So, it is required to ask the same question to all nouns, all of them can be one and the same member of the sentence - subject. When reading the words are separated from each other by the intonation of the enumeration, and in the letter - by commas and the compositional union "and". Nouns relate to the predicate and perform the same function.
So which members of the sentence are called homogeneous? To do this, we will analyze the word itself, meaning "related to the same species, the same." A detailed definition, based on an example, can be found in the picture above.
Whether all members of the proposal can be attributed to this category
Let us recall all the available members of the sentence presented in the picture a little higher: subject, predicate (main), as well as additions, circumstances and definitions (secondary). Having understood which members of the sentence are called homogeneous, examples should be selected for each option. Because the answer to the question asked in the subtitle: "Everything is absolutely." We bring to your attention a table.
Offer members | Question | Example |
Subject | Who! What? | I, Julia and Petya were called to the board. |
Predicate | What is he doing? | She writes at the same time, watches TV and talks on the phone. |
Addition | Than? | The boys painted with pencils, felt-tip pens and paints. |
Circumstance | When? | In winter and summer, we definitely go on a trip. |
Definition | What kind? | The traffic lights use green, yellow and red. |
What are expressed
Let's pay attention to our first example. Having examined which members of the sentence are called homogeneous, it is important to note that the subject is expressed by nouns of various kinds and numbers: to arandashi and ruler, scrap and copybook . Moreover, they can even be different parts of speech. Example: He and Natasha were brother and sister . In the first case, the subject is expressed by a pronoun, in the second by a noun.
Collocations and even idioms can come across: She spoke confidently, convincingly, and in an excellent language. In the latter case, a nominal phrase is used. The girl on the street froze and got wet to the skin . Here we see the use of phraseology - wet to the skin.
You should also pay attention: with homogeneous terms there may be dependent words. In the very first example - a piece of cloth, a thick notebook.
If after reading the article it has become clear which members of the sentence are called homogeneous, list the features that distinguish them. If you canβt, then let's do it together.
Key features
Sometimes we mistakenly accept similar expressions as sentences with homogeneous members, which we will talk about a bit later. It is important that certain symptoms are present, which include the following:
- Which members of a sentence are called homogeneous? Those to which the same question may be asked.
- Not related to each other.
- Related to only one member of the proposal.
- They are both primary and secondary members of the proposal.
- Performing one function.
- Enumerations connected to each other by intonation.
We will consider in more detail how the words are related to each other in a letter.
Compound homogeneous members
As a rule, the connection is either non-union, and then a comma is put, or with the help of creative unions. Having examined which members of the sentence are called homogeneous, how they are interconnected, we consider in the proposed table.
Types of Unions | Names | Examples |
Connecting | and yes (= and) not only but no no also also both ... and | He played the guitar all night and sang. It is difficult for a person to understand, and indeed accept, with all its shortcomings. She not only did her homework, but also tidied up in her room. He did not want to talk to either one or the other. He was seen by a teacher, as well as other students. Not only did he want to eat, Seryozha too. As you drown, you rush. |
Nasty | a but yes (= but) However but | She didnβt want to eat, but to sleep. You can lie but not sleep. He dreamed, but did nothing for this. She saw him, but did not have time to talk. The work was difficult, but monetary. |
Dividing | or or either ... or then ... then neither this nor that | You can complete the task in the office or at home. He wanted to ask either a father or a brother. Either she did not understand him, or simply did not hear. Fields covered with snow flashed in the train window, then lonely spruce trees. Neither prepare for exams, nor read an interesting book. |
Not homogeneous members
Sometimes it seems clear which terms of a sentence are called homogeneous, but they are easy to confuse, for example, with definitions that are not. In particular, when one is expressed by an adjective, while the other is expressed by a numeral or pronoun. For instance:
Aren't you afraid to stain your new dress?
The first warm days have come.
The picture also shows other cases. We hope that after reading the article, readers will find out which members of the proposal are called homogeneous.
