Often we say, and don’t notice the process itself, which stable expressions appear in our statements, which grammatical structures we use, which endings, cases, numbers ... All this sweeps past us, because our mother tongue is like blood flowing through our veins , which fills our body with oxygen and life. But we don’t pay attention to it, and, in fact, we don’t know what our blood is, what it consists of, how it moves ...
However, do not forget that the native language still needs to develop. Everything in this world is in constant motion, formation and improvement. And the development of the nation as a whole depends on the study of the language and the education of the
culture of speech of each individual person. There is one legend from the life of the fabulist Aesop. In ancient times, Aesop worked in service. Once the owner asked him to cook the most delicious and healthy dish. A
calf tongue
dish was served for lunch. The owner asked Aesop in surprise why he chose this recipe. The servant replied that language is the best thing in the world, because it can help make true friends, find true love, fill every new day with joy .... After thinking a little, the owner gave a new task to Aesop - prepare the worst meal in the world. And again, a calf tongue was served for dinner. The servant hastened to explain his choice to the perplexed master: “Language can become our enemy, it pushes people to quarrels, gossip, deceit ...” As we see, we need not only to follow what we say, but also to learn to express our thoughts beautifully and correctly , feelings and emotions.
One of the structures that helps us more clearly and emotionally describe our inner world and convey the state of the world around us is the grammatical structure of “impersonal sentence”.
What is an impersonal offer, and as they say, what is it eaten with? The rules of the school curriculum are difficult to understand. Usually we memorize them, and often do not understand or do not go into their meaning. In order not to memorize a thoughtlessly complex rule, it is necessary to parse and clarify every word in it. In other words, an impersonal sentence is a sentence “without a face”, that is, any action or condition occurs without the performer of this action or without the spokesman of this state. Here are the simplest examples: It was getting light. Cloudy. ” As a rule, an impersonal sentence is short, concise, but very expressive. It can be used as part of simple ones - it is a simple impersonal sentence, and as part of
complex sentences. Such sentences are often used in fiction. But such turns are inherent in everyday speech. Their use helps to more emotionally describe the pictures of the world, the state of nature (
it was cold, gloomy and dark on the street), the state of mind of a person (How
easy and joyful it is at heart!), The physical state of a person (
Shivering and spinning again), inevitability and impossibility of action (We
should have
bought everything;
talk to him
properly ), denial (
You can’t live away from the city). As the only main member of the sentence - the predicate - there can be an
impersonal verb (It dawns. Drizzles), a personal verb in an impersonal form (it
rattled outside), a particle
not with a verb (Anger was
gone ), a short
passive participle of the past tense (
It was decided to go for a walk), and there is no impersonal verbal word (
There is no peace. There is no joy ).
Impersonal sentences are inherent not only in Russian, but also in English. But since the construction of the English sentence does not allow the use of the sentence members in a free order, unlike the Russian language, impersonal sentences in English can only formally be called impersonal. In English, it is unacceptable to omit the predicate or subject. Therefore, there are certain structures, such as
It + to be, It + verb , where the pronoun
It acts as a formal subject and when translated into Russian it is omitted (
It is getting colder - It gets colder, It is frosty - Frosty, It rains - Goes rain ).
Thus, an impersonal sentence is not only a grammatical structure, but also an important assistant in the ability to speak beautifully. And, as you know, the ability to beautifully express your thoughts and feelings is expensive - an open wide door for any opportunity ....
