How to correctly parse a sentence. Parsing a complex sentence

Parsing order

1. Determine the type of sentence according to the purpose of the statement (narrative, incentive, interrogative).

2. Determine the type of sentence by emotional coloring (exclamatory, non-exclamatory).

3. Find the grammatical basis of the sentence and prove that it is simple.

4. Determine the type of sentence by structure:

a) two-part or one-part (definitely personal, indefinitely personal, generalized personal, impersonal, nominal);

b) widespread or not widespread;

c) complete or incomplete (indicate which part of the sentence is missing);

d) complicated (indicate how it is complicated: homogeneous members, isolated members, appeal, introductory words).

5. Parse the sentence by members and indicate how they are expressed (first, the subject and predicate are analyzed, then the minor members related to them).

6. Draw up a sentence diagram and explain punctuation marks.

Parsing samples

1) My fire is shining in the fog(A.K. Tolstoy).

The sentence is narrative, non-exclamatory, simple, two-part, widespread, complete, uncomplicated. Grammar basis - the fire is shining my expressed by a possessive pronoun. The predicate refers to the adverb of place in the fog expressed by a noun in the prepositional case with a preposition V.

At the end of this declarative sentence there is a period.
2) At the end of January, surrounded by the first thaw, the cherry orchards smell good(Sholokhov).

The sentence is narrative, non-exclamatory, simple, two-part, widespread, complete, complicated by a separate agreed definition, expressed by a participial phrase. Grammar basis - the gardens smell. The subject is expressed by a noun in the nominative case, the predicate is a simple verb, expressed by a verb in the indicative mood. The subject includes an agreed definition cherry expressed as an adjective. The predicate refers to the circumstance of time at the end of January, expressed by the phrase (noun + noun) in the prepositional case with a preposition V, and the circumstance of the course of action Fine expressed by an adverb.

At the end of this declarative sentence there is a period; commas in the sentence highlight the participial phrase, which, although it stands before the word being defined, is isolated because it is separated from it in the sentence by other words.

Words and phrases are the components of every sentence in writing and speaking. To construct it, you must clearly understand what the connection should be between them in order to construct a grammatically correct statement. That is why one of the important and complex topics in the Russian language school curriculum is the syntactic analysis of sentences. With this analysis, a complete analysis of all components of the statement is carried out and the connection between them is established. In addition, determining the structure of a sentence allows you to correctly place punctuation marks in it, which is quite important for every literate person. As a rule, this topic begins with the analysis of simple phrases, and after that children are taught to parse sentences.

Rules for parsing phrases

Analyzing a specific phrase taken from context is relatively simple in the Russian syntax section. In order to produce it, they determine which of the words is the main word and which is the dependent one, and determine which part of speech each of them belongs to. Next, it is necessary to determine the syntactic relationship between these words. There are three of them in total:

  • Agreement is a kind of subordinating relationship in which the gender, number and case for all elements of the phrase are determined by the main word. For example: a moving train, a flying comet, a shining sun.
  • Control is also one of the types of subordinating connections; it can be strong (when the case connection of words is necessary) and weak (when the case of the dependent word is not predetermined). For example: watering flowers - watering from a watering can; liberation of the city - liberation by the army.
  • Adjunction is also a subordinating type of connection, but it applies only to words that are unchangeable and not inflected by case. Such words express dependence only by meaning. For example: riding a horse, unusually sad, very scared.

An example of syntactic parsing of phrases

The syntactic analysis of the phrase should look something like this: “speaks beautifully”; the main word is “speaks”, the dependent word is “beautiful”. This connection is determined through the question: speaks (how?) beautifully. The word “says” is used in the present tense in the singular and third person. The word “beautifully” is an adverb, and therefore this phrase expresses a syntactic connection - adjacency.

Parsing diagram for a simple sentence

Parsing a sentence is a bit like parsing a phrase. It consists of several stages that will allow you to study the structure and relationship of all its components:

  1. First of all, the purpose of uttering a single sentence is determined; they are all divided into three types: narrative, interrogative and exclamatory, or incentive. Each of them has its own sign. So, at the end of a narrative sentence telling about an event, there is a period; after the question, naturally, there is a question mark, and at the end of the incentive, there is an exclamation mark.
  2. Next, you should highlight the grammatical basis of the sentence - subject and predicate.
  3. The next stage is a description of the structure of the sentence. It can be one-part with one of the main members or two-part with a full grammatical basis. In the first case, you additionally need to indicate what kind of sentence the nature of the grammatical basis is: verbal or denominative. And then determine whether there are secondary members in the structure of the statement, and indicate whether it is common or not. At this stage you should also indicate whether the sentence is complicated. Complications include homogeneous members, addresses, phrases and introductory words.
  4. Further, the syntactic analysis of the sentence involves the analysis of all words according to their belonging to parts of speech, gender, number and case.
  5. The final stage is an explanation of the punctuation marks in the sentence.

Example of parsing a simple sentence

Theory is theory, but without practice you cannot consolidate a single topic. That is why the school curriculum spends a lot of time on syntactic analysis of phrases and sentences. And for training you can take the simplest sentences. For example: “The girl was lying on the beach and listening to the surf.”

  1. The sentence is declarative and non-exclamatory.
  2. The main parts of the sentence: girl - subject, lay, listened - predicates.
  3. This proposal is two-part, complete and widespread. Homogeneous predicates act as complications.
  4. Parsing all the words of the sentence:
  • “girl” - acts as the subject and is a feminine noun in the singular and nominative case;
  • “lay” - in a sentence it is a predicate, refers to verbs, has a feminine gender, singular number and past tense;
  • “na” is a preposition, used to connect words;
  • “beach” - answers the question “where?” and is a circumstance expressed in a sentence by a masculine noun in the prepositional case and singular;
  • “and” is a conjunction used to connect words;
  • “listened” is the second predicate, a feminine verb in the past tense and singular;
  • “surf” is an object in a sentence, refers to a noun, is masculine, singular and used in the accusative case.

Identification of sentence parts in writing

When parsing phrases and sentences, conditional underscores are used to indicate that words belong to one or another member of the sentence. So, for example, the subject is underlined with one line, the predicate with two, the definition is indicated with a wavy line, the complement with a dotted line, the circumstance with a dotted line. In order to correctly determine which member of the sentence is in front of us, we should pose a question to it from one of the parts of the grammatical basis. For example, the definition answers the questions of the adjective, the complement is determined by the questions of indirect cases, the circumstance indicates the place, time and reason and answers the questions: “where?” "where?" and "why?"

Parsing a complex sentence

The procedure for parsing a complex sentence is slightly different from the examples above, and therefore should not cause any particular difficulties. However, everything must be in order, and therefore the teacher complicates the task only after the children have learned to parse simple sentences. To carry out the analysis, a complex statement is proposed that has several grammatical bases. And here you should adhere to the following scheme:

  1. First, the purpose of the statement and the emotional coloring are determined.
  2. Next, the grammatical bases in the sentence are highlighted.
  3. The next step is to define the connection, which can be done with or without a conjunction.
  4. Next, you should indicate by what connection the two grammatical bases in the sentence are connected. These can be intonation, as well as coordinating or subordinating conjunctions. And immediately conclude what the sentence is: complex, complex or non-union.
  5. The next stage of parsing is the syntactic analysis of the sentence into its parts. It is produced according to the scheme for a simple sentence.
  6. At the end of the analysis, you should construct a diagram of the sentence, on which the connection of all its parts will be visible.

Connecting parts of a complex sentence

As a rule, to connect parts in complex sentences, conjunctions and allied words are used, which must be preceded by a comma. Such proposals are called allied. They are divided into two types:

  • Compound sentences joined by conjunctions a, and, or, then, but. As a rule, both parts in such a statement are equal. For example: “The sun was shining and the clouds were floating.”
  • Complex sentences that use the following conjunctions and allied words: so that, how, if, where, whither, since, although and others. In such sentences, one part always depends on the other. For example: "The sun's rays will fill the room as soon as the cloud passes."

Syntactic parsing of a sentence is the parsing of a sentence into members and parts of speech. You can parse a complex sentence according to the proposed plan. The sample will help you correctly format a written analysis of a sentence, and the example will reveal the secrets of oral syntactic analysis.

Sentence parsing plan

1. Simple, simple, complicated by homogeneous members, or complex

2. According to the purpose of the statement: narrative, interrogative or motivating.

3. By intonation: exclamatory or non-exclamatory.

4. Common or not common.

5. Determine the SUBJECT. Ask questions WHO? or WHAT? Underline the subject and determine which part of speech it is expressed in.

6. Define the PREDIC. Ask questions WHAT DOES? etc. Underline the predicate and determine which part of speech it is expressed in.

7. From the subject, ask questions to the secondary members of the sentence. Underline them and determine which parts of speech they are expressed in. Write down phrases with questions.

8. From the predicate, ask questions to the secondary members. Underline them and determine which parts of speech they are expressed in. Write down phrases with questions.

Sample sentence parsing

The sky was already breathing autumn, and the sun was shining less and less often.

This sentence is complicated first part:

(what?) sky - subject, expressed by a singular noun. h., Wed. r., nar., inanimate., 2 sk., i. p.
(what did?) breathed - predicate, expressed by the verb nes. view, 2 pages, unit. h., past vr., wed. r.
breathed (what?) in the fall - addition, expressed by a noun in singular. h., w. r., narit., inanimate., 3rd class., etc.
breathed (when?) already - a circumstance of time, expressed by an adverb

second part:

(what?) sun - subject, expressed as a singular noun. h., Wed. r., nar., inanimate., 2 sk., i. p.
(what did it do?) shone - predicate, expressed by the verb nes. view, 1 book, unit h., past vr., wed. r.
shone (how?) less often - a circumstance of the manner of action, expressed by an adverb
shone (when?) already - a circumstance of time, expressed by the adverb

Example of parsing a sentence

They either flew obliquely in the wind, or lay vertically on the damp grass.

This proposal is simple.

(what?) they are the subject, expressed by a plural pronoun. h., 3 l., i. p.
(what did they do?) flew - homogeneous predicate, expressed by the verb non.view, 1 sp., plural. h.. last vr..flying
(what did they do?) lay down - homogeneous predicate, expressed by the verb non.view, 1 sp., plural. h.. last vr..
flew (how?) obliquely - a circumstance of the course of action, expressed by an adverb.
flew (how?) in the wind - circumstance of the course of action, expressed by the adverb
lay down (how?) vertically - a circumstance of a course of action, expressed by an adverb
lay down (where?) on the grass - an adverbial circumstance of place, expressed by a common noun, inanimate, in singular. h., w. r., 1 fold, in v.p. with a pretext
grass (what kind?) raw - definition, expressed by an adjective in singular. h., w.r., v.p.

Theory:

  1. Characterize the sentence according to the purpose of the statement: narrative, interrogative or motivating.
  2. By emotional coloring: exclamatory or non-exclamatory.
  3. Based on the presence of grammatical basics: simple or complex. Then, depending on whether the sentence is simple or complex:

Example of parsing a simple sentence

Oral analysis: The sentence is narrative, non-exclamatory, simple, two-part, grammatical basis: pupils and female students are studying, common, complicated by homogeneous subjects. Written: Narrative, non-exclamatory, simple, two-part, grammatical basis students learn, common, complicated by homogeneous subjects.

An example of parsing a complex sentence

Oral analysis:

Declarative sentence, non-exclamatory, complex, conjunction, means of communication subordinating conjunction because, complex sentence. The first simple sentence: one-part, with the main member - the predicate didn't ask, common, not complicated. Second simple sentence: two-part, grammatical basis my class and I went, common, not complicated.

Written analysis:

Declarative, non-exclamatory, complex, conjunction, means of communication subordinating conjunction because, SPP.

1st PP: one-part, with the main member – predicate didn't ask, common, not complicated.

2nd PP: two-part, grammatical basis - my class and I went, widespread, not complicated.

Another parsing option

Parsing. Order in parsing.

In phrases:

  1. Select the required phrase from the sentence.
  2. We look at the structure - highlight the main word and the dependent word. We indicate which part of speech is the main and dependent word. Next, we indicate in what syntactic way this phrase is connected.
  3. And finally, we indicate what its grammatical meaning is.

In a simple sentence:

We determine what the sentence is based on the purpose of the statement - narrative, incentive or interrogative. We find the basis of the sentence, establish that the sentence is simple. Next, you need to talk about how this proposal is constructed. Is it two-part or one-part. If it is one-part, then determine the type: personal, impersonal, nominal or indefinitely personal. Distributed or undistributed Incomplete or complete. If the sentence is incomplete, then it is necessary to indicate which member of the sentence is missing. If this sentence is complicated in any way, be it homogeneous members or separate members of the proposal, this must be noted. Next you need to analyze the sentence by members, indicating what parts of speech they are. It is important to follow the parsing order. First, the predicate and subject are determined, then the secondary ones, which are included first in the subject, then in the predicate. We explain why punctuation marks are placed in the sentence one way or another.

Predicate

We note whether the predicate is a simple verb or a compound (nominal or verbal). Indicate how the predicate is expressed: simple - what form of the verb; compound verb - what it consists of; compound nominal - what copula is used, how the nominal part is expressed. In a sentence that has homogeneous members. If we have a simple sentence before us, then when analyzing it we need to note what kind of homogeneous members of the sentence they are and how they are related to each other. Either through intonation, or through intonation with conjunctions.

In sentences with isolated members:

If we have a simple sentence before us, then when analyzing it, we need to note what the turnover will be. Next, we analyze the words that are included in this circulation according to the members of the sentence.

In sentences with isolated parts of speech:

First, we note that in this sentence there is direct speech. We indicate the direct speech and text of the author. We analyze and explain why punctuation marks are placed in the sentence this way and not otherwise. We draw a proposal diagram.

In a compound sentence:

First, we indicate which sentence according to the purpose of the statement is interrogative, declarative or motivating. We find simple sentences in the sentence and highlight the grammatical basis in them. We find conjunctions that connect simple sentences into complex ones. We note what kind of conjunctions they are - adversative, connecting or dividing. We determine the meaning of this entire complex sentence - opposition, alternation or enumeration. We explain why the punctuation marks are placed in this way in the sentence. Then each simple sentence that makes up a complex sentence must be parsed in the same way as a simple sentence is parsed.

In a complex sentence with a subordinate clause (one)

First, we indicate what the sentence is according to the purpose of the statement. We highlight the grammatical basis of all simple sentences that make up a complex sentence. Let's read them out. We name which sentence is the main one and which is the subordinate one. We explain what kind of complex sentence it is, pay attention to how it is constructed, how the subordinate clause is connected to the main sentence and what it refers to. We explain why the punctuation marks in this sentence are placed exactly this way. Then, the subordinate and main clauses must be parsed in the same way as simple sentences are parsed.

In a complex sentence with subordinate clauses (several)

We call what a sentence is according to the purpose of the statement. We highlight the grammatical basis of all simple sentences that make up a complex sentence and read them out. We indicate which sentence is the main one and which is the subordinate clause. It is necessary to indicate what the subordination in the sentence is - either it is parallel subordination, or sequential, or homogeneous. If there is a combination of several types of subordination, this must be noted. We explain why punctuation marks are placed in this way in the sentence. And, at the end, we analyze the subordinate and main clauses as simple sentences.

In a complex non-union sentence:

We call what a sentence is according to the purpose of the statement. We find the grammatical basis of all the simple sentences that make up this complex sentence. We read them out and name the number of simple sentences that make up a complex sentence. We determine the meaning of the relationships between simple sentences. It can be sequence, cause and effect, opposition, simultaneity, explanation or addition. We note what the structural features of this sentence are, what kind of complex sentence it is. How are the primes connected in this sentence and what do they refer to. We explain why the punctuation marks are placed in this way in the sentence.

In a complex sentence in which there are different types of connections.

We call what purpose the sentence is in terms of the purpose of the statement. We find and highlight the grammatical basis of all simple sentences that make up a complex sentence, and read them out. We establish that this proposal will be a proposal in which different types of communication are present. Why? We determine what connections are present in this sentence - conjunctional coordinating, subordinating or any others. By meaning, we establish how simple ones are formed in a complex sentence. We explain why punctuation marks are placed in the sentence in this way. We parse all the simple sentences from which a complex sentence is composed in the same way as a simple sentence.

Today we continue to study a complex sentence; in this lesson we will learn how to parse it.

1. Determine the type of sentence according to the purpose of the statement ( narrative, interrogative, incentive).

2. Determine the type of sentence by intonation ( exclamation, non-exclamation).

3. Identify simple sentences within complex ones and determine their bases.

4. Determine the means of communication of simple sentences in a complex one ( allied, non-union).

5. Highlight the minor members in each part of a complex sentence, indicate whether it is common or uncommon.

6. Note the presence of homogeneous members or appeals.
