How to spell "not" with adverbs: examples. "Not" together and separately with adverbs: writing rules

(Not) far there is a wonderful forest,

Full of secrets and wonders.

It’s (not) a bad walk

(Not) to get lost for a long time.

This poem will help us identify the problem: spelling and separate writing is not with adverbs.

Adverbs

There are words in the Russian language that are used to indicate a sign of action, an object, or a sign of a sign. They are called adverbs. The following are examples not together and separately with adverbs. For example, with adverbs of the mode of action :

• looking fun, not happy;
• greeted joyfully, joylessly;
• I listen carefully, inattentively.

with adverbs measures and degrees:

• very, not very strong;
• too (not too) weak;
• more than enough (not more than enough).

with adverbs of time:

• long ago (recently) left;
• I will write tomorrow (not tomorrow);
• gather in the evening (not in the evening).

with the adverbs of the place:

• here (not here) gather;
• far (near) was;
• from the inside (not from the inside) looked.

Before you are examples not together and separately with adverbs: not bad, not far - not bad at all, not far away. What does it depend on? This we can learn from the rules governing this spelling.

Adverbs are written together, which can be replaced by synonyms.

Synonyms are words that can replace each other in a sentence. In the case of such a possibility, it is written together with an adverb:

• You performed well yesterday (good)
• Come to the Hudson Club for a rehearsal, not far from here.
• He began to sing softly (quietly).

If it is difficult to replace with a synonym, you can use the expression:

• It will not be soon (after a long time).
• The concert did not last long (short time).
• The boy answered uncertainly (without confidence).

Adverbs are written together with “no”, which are not used without “no”

More examples of words that are not spelled together are sloppy, indignant, hating.

In this case, spelling is explained by the fact that the word can not be used without. For instance:

• My deputy reacted casually to his duties.
• He waved his arms absurdly somehow.
• The entertainer looked inconspicuous, at first glance.

Negative adverbs are spelled with "no"

Combined and separate spelling not with adverbs often depends on part of speech. For example, you should always write together with non- negative pronouns:

• Our team has nowhere to rehearse.
• Striving for something more was no longer necessary.
• The city was a stranger, there were no friends, there was even nowhere to go.

Adverbs are written separately, if there is a contrast

If you are thinking, and there are examples that are not cohesive and separate with the same dialects, you must pay attention to whether or not there is a contrast in the sentence. It can be expressed by the adversarial union “a”, it can only be implied and not expressed in any way. When there is a contrast, an adverb with "not" is written separately.

• I should have acted not honestly, but humanly.
• Contrary to his expectations, the meeting was not boring, but fun.
• Children did not behave quietly - they made noise.

In the presence of some words, adverbs are written separately with "not"

An adverb must be written separately with “not” if any of the following words refers to it: at all, not at all, not at all, never, at all, far away. Although without this word it will be written together.

With some adverbs, “not” are always written separately

It must be said that “not” is written separately with almost all dialects, except those ending in -o and -e, those that are not used without, and negative.

If you know how to write not with adverbs, examples of which are given in the table, then all the rest you just need to write separately:

• not comradely;
• not right away;
• not everywhere;
• not always;
• Single.

Exceptions: not without reason, lack of time, reluctance, for good reason, not far away.
