How to write the verb: "try" or "try"?

How to write: “try” or “try”? Of course, the second option is true - "try." But why this is so, it will help us understand the rule about the formative suffixes of the verb. There is a fairly simple algorithm that allows you to correctly select a vowel in the suffix of this and other words similar to it.

Changing the word will help us.

The verb "try" (or "try", as people sometimes write with an error) is in the infinitive, which is also called the initial or indefinite form. To find out which vowel: s or o - should be written in the suffix of this word, it is necessary to turn the indefinite form into a personal one, namely to create a first person singular. We get the verb "try" (1 person, singular). And here a simple rule applies: if in this position the token ends in th or th , then in an indefinite form it has a vowel o or e in the suffix. That’s how we check, “try” or “try” should be written. According to the rule, it turns out that it is correct to use the letter o - “try” in the suffix.

Spelling Procedure

The algorithm looks like this:

1. I translate the verb in the form of the first person and singular.
2. Determine whether it ends in the th (th) .
3. If the answer is yes, I write in the word the suffix -ova- or -eva- .
4. If the answer is no, I write in the word the suffix -yva- or -iva- .

Now try to use the algorithm in specific cases.

Algorithm application

Take an example like the case with the verbs "try" or "try" an example with the word "head ... howl."

1. We translate the verb into the position of the first person in the singular: "I (what am I doing?) Head."
2. Does the verb end in -th ?
3. The answer is yes.
4. Consequently, we write in the indefinite form of the verb the suffix -ova- ("manage").

Now we give an alternative example. We need to determine which vowel should be used in the suffix of the verb "prantsants ... vat".

1. We translate the word in the form of the first person in the singular: "I (what am I doing?) I dance."
2. Does the word end in th ?
3. The answer is no. It ends in -yah .
4. Therefore, in the infinitive we will write the suffix -yva- ("dance").
   

And what vowel to write in the past tense?

There are still traps, in addition to the difficulty in spelling the word: “try” or “try”. These are cases when a question arises with vowels in the past suffix of some verbs. Let's look at a few examples. What letter to write in the word "advice ... shaft"? The familiar algorithm will help.

1. We transform the morphological form of the past tense into the first person in the singular: "I (what am I doing?) I advise."
2. Does the word end in th ?
3. The answer is yes.
4. We write in the past tense the suffix -ova- ("advised").

Now let’s check whether the vowel is e or and should be written in the suffix of the verb as part of the sentence: “I was invited to visit me by ... overseas dishes.”

1. We translate the word in the form of the first person and singular: "I (what am I doing?) I will eat."
2. Does the verb end in -th ?
3. The answer is yes.
4. According to the rule, we write the suffix -eva ("regaled").

Another example: “Relatives zealously praised ... Vali my first painting.”

1. We translate the verb in the form of the first person in units. number: "I (what am I doing?) praise."
2. Does the verb end in -th ?
3. The answer is no. It ends in -ivay .
4. So, we write the suffix -iva- ("praised").

In a similar way, one can check the spelling of a vowel in the suffixes of the verbs “listened to ... vali”, “failure… failed”, “delayed… val”, etc. Using the algorithm, we see that these words are written like: “listened”, “failed”, “late "

Twin verbs

We learned to check how to spell: "try" or try. " But there are more complicated cases, which also need to be mentioned here.

There is the verb “conduct”, the meaning of which can be clarified by the synonyms “visit”, “visit”, etc. In the position of the first person and singular, it sounds like “conduct” and has the suffix -yva- in an indefinite form and past tense. This verb formally resembles the word “preach”, the meaning of which is completely different: “broadcast”, “instruct”, “proclaim”. And in the first person singular, the word will look like this: "I am preaching." Therefore, in the infinitive and in the past tense, it has the ending -ova .

Likewise, grammatically similar, but different in meaning, the verbs "taste", "confess", "scout", "command" should not be confused.

Vowel - root or suffix?

There is a group of verbs in which the suffix -va- is combined with the previous root vowel and or e . This vowel, in contrast to the suffix, remains in the verb in an indefinite form, regardless of whether the suffix -va remains. Examples: overcome (overcome), fill (fill), twist (entwine) - the value of "entangle, hug" , entwine (entwine) - the value of "blow" .

We examined the question of how to correctly: “try” or “try” - this verb should be written. They also found a way to determine how to check words like this.
