How to spot grammatical errors. Grammar errors: how to avoid? Simple rules

Grammatical errors arise when the rules of the Russian language are not followed, which sometimes gives the speech an unflattering sound. We cannot always convey a beautifully presented idea to our interlocutor if we allow such inaccuracies in verbal and writing. By remembering the rules in speech patterns, you can avoid the occurrence of grammatical errors in order to speak or write beautifully, elegantly and expressively. A grammatical error is the most weakness in completing tasks in the Russian language, so in this article we will look at them in more detail.

A little theory

Grammatical errors are errors in the structures of linguistic units, in the structures of words, phrases, and sentences. These also include violations of one or another grammatical norm: morphological, word-formation or syntactic. Below you can take a closer look at the table, which shows options for such a violation as a grammatical error. Study the examples of incorrect use of words and their combinations carefully. Try to remember simple rules that will be useful in later life when constructing beautiful dialogues.

Grammar mistake– this is a violation of the norms of word formation, inflection, construction of phrases and sentences.

Grammar mistake

I . Grammatical errors in word structure may be associated with incorrect word formation and morphology.

1) Errors in word formation are the incorrect formation of a word according to the models available in the language, when the writer or speaker uses the wrong suffix or the wrong prefix, “loses” a morpheme, invents words that do not exist in the language and does not motivate this in any way: fawns, mocks, slipped

2) Errors in the formation of word forms appear when the speaker or writer changes the word in a way that is not typical for him. Each part of speech has its own difficult cases of formation. Let's look at examples of errors.

a) Noun: formation of the plural form ( engineer, contract); forms R.p. plural (hollows, bottoms, socks, stockings).

b) Adjective: formation of the form of degrees of comparison ( more impressive, deepest).

c) Pronouns: formation of possessive pronoun forms their(theirs, theirs); the use of the initial letter “n” in 3rd person pronouns ( thanks to him, instead of her).

d) Numeral name: declension of cardinal numerals ( with five hundred and sixty-seven subjects); Declension of ordinal numbers ( in two thousand eight); use of collective numerals ( two participants, both functions).

e) Verbs: use of colloquial forms ( measures, pinches); formation of forms of 1st person ( I'll win, I'll vacuum); formation of participles ( sleeping, eating).

III.Grammatical errors in sentence structure.

1) Violation of the connection between the subject and the predicate ( Those whoresearched verbal aggression, came to the conclusion...; The relationship between the theme and the main idea of ​​the text becomes obvious to me.).

2) Violations of the way of expressing the predicate ( I found a quote in the article thatfriend ).

3) Errors in constructing sentences with homogeneous members: the use of a common object with homogeneous predicates when they require different cases of the dependent word ( We love and are passionate about psychology); use as a homogeneous phrase and subordinate clause ( This was an article written by I. Brandt and which I studied).

4) Errors in constructing sentences with participial phrases ( The data presented in the article...).

5) Errors in constructing sentences with adverbial verbs ( After reading the text, it seems to me that...; After studying the statistics, the conclusions have changed).

7) Errors in transmitting someone else’s speech ( Academician L. Shcherba wrote that: “Replicas are absolutely not characterized by complex sentences, which are the domain of only a monologue»).

8) Violation of word order in a sentence ( He not only studied written speech, but also oral).

Speech error– this is the incorrect use of a linguistic unit: a word, phraseological unit, phrase. Such errors are associated with a poor or passive vocabulary, the inability to choose the right word to express a thought, the use of speech cliches, and the inability to eliminate the possibility of ambiguous understanding of a phrase due to the context.

      knowledge of the text and understanding of its ideological and artistic originality;

      the ability to explain the relationship between the characters’ actions;

      understanding the role of artistic media;

Only in this case will the children understand the reasoning behind the grades given, and the teacher will be able to be truly objective.

Paths of learning literary work At school

The path of learning is a unique one order analysis, progress of analysis works.

It is especially important to choose the right path of analysis when studying major epic works.

There are three main ways of analysis:

          according to images (like)

shaped path

The logic of the analysis of the work is subordinated to the logic of the analysis of the main images (for example, the 1st lesson - “The Image of Eugene Onegin”, then - “The Image of Tatyana”, then “The Image of the Author”, etc.).

"Plus" of this way of analysis: the logic of the analysis is clear to children; very effective at the age of 14-15 years, when children look closely at themselves, evaluate their own and others’ character traits => their interest in the characteristics of heroes is maximum; this path is time-saving.

"Minus" of this path:

            For each lesson, children must review the entire text of the work, looking for material based on a specific image;

            V work of art all images are closely intertwined, and we “tear off” one image from another;

            the artistic unity of the work is destroyed.

Problem-thematic path

The teacher formulates for himself a range of main problems that the author considers in his work, and each lesson is devoted to solving one of the problems.

For example:

              “The role of the people and the individual in history” - based on the novel “War and Peace” (the range of problems associated with the images of Kutuzov, Napoleon, Tushin and a number of other heroes is considered);

              “Patriotism, true and false” (Scherer, Rostov, Bolkonsky);

              “Moral quests of the best representatives of the Russian nobility” (Natasha, Bolkonsky, Pierre).

"Pros" of this path:

                allows you to deeply and seriously analyze the work;

                develops the student’s analytical abilities;

                teaches you how to argue your point of view. "Disadvantages" of this path:

                1. this path presupposes excellent knowledge of the text and analysis of many images of the work in one lesson;

                  During the lesson there is absolutely no emotional perception of the text; the conversation takes place mainly on a logical level.

This path is effective only in older and very strong classes.

The teacher analyzes the work with the children along the way plot development, in this case, only key chapters and episodes are taken.

"Pros" of this path:

                    the integrity of the perception of the text is preserved, since the children immediately analyze the images, problems, and artistic originality of the studied fragment of the text;

                    The emotional perception of the text is preserved and often enhanced.

"Disadvantages" of this path:

                      the complete picture of the work becomes clear only at the end of the study =>

                      requires maximum amount of time compared to others ways of analysis.

                      there is a danger of “dissolving” in the text. This method is universal for any age.

An experienced teacher skillfully combines different paths of analysis, making one path dominant.

Methods of work of teachers and students in literature lessons in grades 9-11

In high school, you can use the same techniques as in grades 5-8, but there are also special techniques that are most effective in high school.

    Teacher's lecture (requirements for this form are given as a separate section)

    Seminar lesson

In grades 5-8, one lesson usually combines both the teacher’s word and a conversation on new material. In high school, due to the large volume of material being studied, it is advisable to divide it into a lecture lesson, where only the teacher speaks, and a seminar lesson, where only students answer. However, the traditional combined lesson is also widely used in high schools. Questions and assignments for the seminar lesson are given in advance.

    lesson-debate

It requires serious preliminary preparation: it is necessary to divide students into supporters of one and the other position, talk in advance with the “leaders” of the parties and help them in selecting arguments. The whole class or several people can take part in the debate; the rest of the children, together with the teacher, act as observers and arbiters.

    Trial of a literary hero

This is a kind of dispute, but in a “sharpened” form, when there is an accused, an accuser and a lawyer. This form of lesson is certainly somewhat “rough” from an aesthetic point of view. BUT!!! This form ensures high activity on the part of students and becomes effective in that class, where the children are passive and have difficulty reading the texts they are studying. The “trial” of a hero can “stir up” such a class.

    Drawing up a film script based on a work already studied

For a film script, you need to select the main episodes, select the text that will be heard in the frame and behind the scenes, determine the peculiarities of the camera work (a combination of close-up and panorama), think over the music, artistic design, and choose costumes. It is advisable to carry out this type of work after analyzing the text.

    Choosing actors for the roles of the main characters

What is important is not the specific names of students or real actors, but the image as a whole, that is, the type of face, appearance, character traits, temperamental features, etc. This technique is very similar to the general characteristics of the hero, but is more interesting in form.

    Meeting of the artistic council of a theater or the editorial board of a literary magazine

on issues of choosing a repertoire or publishing a particular literary work.

For example: Which plays by Ostrovsky should be staged this season and why?

After studying Bunin’s work: Which stories by Bunin would be advisable to include in the new edition of the book “Favorites” and why?

    Actor's monologue

about how to play this role. BUT!!! There are negative psychological aspects that arise from the shyness of guys who would like to play this role, but are afraid of someone’s ridicule. These psychological problems can be avoided if you offer a slightly different version of the task, namely "Director's Monologue" about how to play this role. (This form removes psychological barriers, since the director, deeply understanding how to play a particular character, is not obliged to match him in appearance, have a portrait resemblance, etc.)

NB!!! These working methods allow children to express their own opinion, their personal vision of the characters’ characters, while remaining in the “shadow”, as if behind the “mask” of an actor, director, etc. This is due to the psychological characteristics of early adolescence, when a person already has own opinion, but often is not yet ready to express it. It is better to give these forms of work as homework.

    Integrated polyphonic lesson:

This is a lesson with the participation of a “historian”, “politician”, “art critic”.

These persons can be previously prepared students or real teachers of history, music, drawing, and art. Their comments are woven into the course of the lesson where it is necessary to clarify fragments of text that are difficult for students to understand.

10. Composing poetic compositionsoncertaintopic

The class is divided into groups of 4-6 people. Each group composes a composition and prepares an expressive reading of poetry. For example: love lyrics and civil poems by A. Akhmatova. Each group has a director who selects poems and helps prepare expressive readings. Before reading their composition, students explain why they chose these particular works. The composition can be literary and musical. This task can be given to the whole class, or as an individual task to a group of students.
