Alternating Vowels

Alternating roots are difficult to write, because test words are not applicable to them . As a rule, we are talking about alternating vowels o and a , while different spelling rules apply for different roots. It is somewhat easier to remember the use of alternating vowels and / e, for which the spelling is determined by the suffix following the root. We will not list all the rules that describe the spelling of the roots with alternating vowels, but only touch on the words that most often become a stumbling block. Test yourself and others by answering a few simple questions.

For example, why is it written sunbathe when there is such a word as sunbathe? Rule: in the roots of mountains and gar , clan and clone , as well as creature and creature, in the stressed syllable on the letter, the vowel we hear is used. If there is no accent, a vowel is written about . Try picking up the examples yourself. These are the words “zag ilyuyu”, “profit yo ry”, “profit yo ry” and many others, where in an unstressed position is written about. Similarly, we write “bow down”, despite the word “bow down”, as well as “TV rhenium”. As for the roots of dawn and dawn , a will be written without stress, so the words “dawn” and “illumination” will have to be remembered without confusing these roots with the more common mountains and gar .

The next group of roots is the roots with alternating vowels growth-growth . Here the spelling does not depend on the stress, but is determined by which consonants follow the disputed root. St or u? Feel free to write the letter a . If there are no such consonants, then Fr. If the abstract rule is difficult to remember, try to remember a number of words rstit-vir a shiv-vyr s with the addition of exceptions, that is, some proper names and r o stock-rastovshchik-rasp a word.

Another case where roots with alternating letters can be misleading is unstressed vowels in the box - lag . Before the consonant, we write o , before the consonant, r - the letter a . Remember the two words for the sample, “proposal” and “adjective”.

Bl and st -bl e stet-zap and rast-zapret back. The same is true for roots such as bira-ber , steel-stel and many others. If now you can correctly spell the words "wipe" and "deputy and army", then such alternations will not cause you any difficulties in the future. Of course, there are exceptions as well, this is “beat and rushka” and “combination”

The same suffix -a- influences the choice of a vowel in the root kasa - kos in the words “to touch” and “to fall asleep”.

Words are allocated to a separate group where the spelling of vowels in the root is determined only by their meaning, regardless of the stress and the suffix following the root. Observe the difference in meanings between the words “us about ”, (“promo about ”) and “mother about”. You need to correctly identify the root word. If it is “ to bend,” then in the unstressed root is also written about . Between the words “ur introduction”, “outside out” and “to understand ”, the difference is the same as between “equal” and “regular”. Not without exception. Here one should remember the commonly used non-obeying words “ur o venen”, “r o spring”, “por o vnu” with the vowel o , as well as “r vnin” through a .

Alternating gallop and galloping roots are also written according to the meaning of the word. “Jump” - for a long, many times. “Talk about reading”, “Talk about reading” - quickly. The exception here is the word “ska chok”.

So many rules and exceptions should not scare you. The exercises will help to fix them, and many of the most common words are remembered during the reading process.
