Proper spelling of words is a priority indicator of human education. Therefore, you need to devote as much time as possible to improving knowledge. The spelling issue is relevant for schoolchildren and students of the philological department. This is a professional skill.
What the design consists of
To understand the correct spelling, analyze what parts of the speech to be faced. By disassembling the design "not guilty of anything" into its components, they distinguish:
- "None" - in this case, a particle that adds to the amplification of the value of the "not" particle.
- “B” is a preposition, and prepositions with words are written separately, which already cuts off “neither” and “than” as independent parts. To the construction, the question is asked: “Blame what?”, The answer to which also contains the pretext either “in” or “in”, which means that the separation between the words is correct.
- “What” - a pronoun, the initial form of which is “what” (category - relative). Pronouns with prepositions are written separately.
- "Not" is a negative particle.
- “Guilty” (what?) Is a short adjective.
- Having understood which parts of speech are presented in the example, the rules that are related to them are taken into account.
What rules to follow
Let us recall some rules in order to understand how it is written “not guilty of anything”. First of all, we distinguish between particles of "not" and "neither", respectively, we determine in which cases each is used. Pay attention to the pivot table.
In the example of "not guilty of anything," the particle "neither" reinforces the negation expressed by the particle "not." Accordingly, “not” is a negative particle.
How are particles written in other words? In this design, they are written separately with the words to which they relate. Please note: separate spelling is provided, because "not" and "neither" - in the original case of the particle.
Secondly, the rule for writing prepositions is used. Prepositions with words are written separately. Thirdly, recall the spelling “not” with brief adjectives. Such a question often causes difficulties.
How to write?
The main rule is: "It is not written with a short adjective in the same way as with a complete adjective." It is worth mentioning that such a rule is not applicable in our case, since the full adjective "innocent" is presented, which is written together. Consider the following rule:
Our case is compatible with the second version of the separate writing of "nothing", "not equal", "not at all." It is better to be guided by the rule of writing particles, since in the example two particles cannot be mistaken, but you need to use the rule of writing "not" with adjectives with a reservation. Conclusion: write correctly - "not guilty of anything."
