Error in the formation of the word form: typical and grammatical errors, morphological norms and examples

In the Russian language there are many words that vary by cases, numbers, tenses, which is why our mother tongue is so difficult for foreigners to learn. However, many Russian-speaking people from childhood get used to certain forms, for example, cases and times, and usually do not make any stupid mistakes. There are also forms in which both children and adults are confused. That is why the error in the formation of the word form is quite common at the exam (unified state exam), which in our time is written by graduates of the eleventh grade.

Task six in the exam

The task to determine the incorrect form of the word

In task six (task 6) of the Unified State Examination in Russian, you need to find an error in the formation of the word form, write it correctly. This task is not difficult if you disassemble it, and the forms of the word should be properly remembered. However, in the sixth task, those who pass the exam quite often make mistakes that significantly reduce their score in the Russian language.

  • Let us give you an example of such a task:

One of the words highlighted below made a mistake in the formation of the word form. Correct the error and spell the word correctly.

  • Will come to work;
  • hot fritters;
  • CLOTHING a hat;
  • no free places;
Declension of nouns

Nouns

Here, both adults and children make all kinds of mistakes. For example, in the formation of the plural of nouns. Directors or directors? Mandarins or tangerines? Let's give a list of nouns in which they often make various mistakes. We recommend that you simply remember, speak and write correctly, because it is important to know your native language.

Plural in the nominative case

Quite often, in the formation of this form, people make mistakes in both oral and written language.

  • It ends in Y: officers, cakes, containers, leaders, ports, lecturers, drivers, designers, auditors, engineers, editors, sentences, speakers, ages, coaches, elections, accountants, authors, interns, contracts, snipers, tractors.
  • It ends in I: timesheets, locksmiths, pharmacists, handwriting, grooms.
  • It ends in A: professor, coast, inspector, watchman, director, district, boat, warrant, vacation, doctor, century, address, grade, haystack.
  • Ends on I: anchors, tunic, postmark.
  • Nouns in -ME occupy a separate place in the formation of word forms. Words such as burden, udder, seed or time in the plural have the ending -en or -en: times, seeds, names, no time, no name.
We are preparing for the exam in Russian

Genitive plural

In this case, there are as many as three possible forms of the word: zero ending, ending (s) or ending (s).

First, let's parse the zero ending.

  • Zero endings are pair objects: boot, stocking, boot, shoulder strap, felt boots, shoes. An exception to remember: socks!
  • Zero ending, when there are military professions, units: soldiers, hussars, partisans.
  • When talking about fruits, for example: a kilogram of apples, waffles, melons. But, remember: a kilogram of oranges, lemons, tangerines.
  • Zero ending: saucers, towels, fables, sabers.
  • When nationalities are on -n or -r: Georgians, Armenians, Bulgarians. BUT !: Kazakhs and Uzbeks.

Now the ending is (s).

  • This includes exceptions to the previous rule: socks, oranges, tangerines, tomatoes, dragoons, tomatoes.
  • And also other words: apprentices, lower reaches, sappers, rails, hectares, grams, kilograms.

And the end of it: a sheet, doctors, everyday life, rakes, lobes, nurseries.

How not to make a mistake?

Degrees of Comparison of Adjectives

Another important mistake in the formation of the word form: education and compilation of degrees of comparison of adjectives. Let's look at the rules for the degree of comparison of adjectives again.

Degree of comparisonHow to form a degree?Example
Comparative simpleThe basis of the adjective in the nominative case and the suffixes are her (her), s, she, which show a comparison with anything.More beautiful (by the way, the emphasis in the word on I) is better, colder, bigger, higher, warmer.
Comparative CompoundAdjective and auxiliary words more or less.Darker, less cold, healthier, less tall.
Superb simpleThe basis of the adjective in the nominative case with the addition of suffixes is Aish, in order to show the superiority of something.The most beautiful, the finest, the most delicious
Excellent compoundAdjective and auxiliary words are most, least.The most delicious, the least suitable, the most delicate.

An example with an error in the formation of the word form of adjectives and degrees of comparison will be considered a combination of both simple and compound forms. This is not to say: "better" or "tastier." Instead, you can say: better, better or more tasty, tastier.

Numeral declension

Numeral Forms

The numerals are easy to get confused. There are groups of this part of speech in which quite often they make various grammatical errors in the formation of word forms: complex and compound, as well as collective numerals, which use their own specific rules.

Compound numbers

To correctly write a composite numeral, incline each part of the numeral separately. The table shows the declination of the cases of composite numerals of different groups - a template that you can focus on.

Case10-3050-80200-400500-900
Nominative (what)tenseventythree hundredeight hundred
Genitive (what)tenseventythree hundredeight hundred
Dative (give what)tenseventythree hundredeight hundred
Accusative (I see that)tenseventythree hundredeight hundred
Creative (than)tenseventythree hundredeight hundred
Prepositional (about)about tenabout seventyabout three hundredabout eight hundred

And also the declination of some other numerals: they just need to be remembered and declined correctly.

Nominative and accusative casesone and a halfone and a halffortyone hundredninety
Genitive, dative, accusative, instrumental, prepositionalone and a halfone and a half hundredmagpieone hundredninety

Collective numbers

Collective numbers - for example, two, five, six. There are some cases in which they are used.

  • Masculine nouns denoting faces (three locksmiths).
  • Nouns that can be attributed to both male and female gender are common (four fidgets).
  • Paired items (two stockings).
  • Those nouns that do not have a singular (two scissors).
  • Nouns denoting cubs of various animals (five piglets).

Remember that you cannot say: "five girls." Only: "five girls."

Ordinals

How to persuade "in 1954?". In such numbers only the last number is inclined: "In the nineteen fifty-fourth year." In no case should not incline every numeral - this will be considered a mistake.

Both both

Both, both, both

Words in which you can get confused. In order not to make a stupid mistake in the sixth task of the exam in the Russian language, we advise you to simply remember the declension of these numerals.

The word "both" is used with masculine and neuter gender nouns, and "both" with feminine nouns.

CaseBothBoth
NominativeBoth brothersBoth sisters
GenitiveBoth brothersBoth sisters
DativeTo both brothersTo both sisters
AccusativeBoth brothersBoth sisters

Conversation errors

Words that often make mistakes

There are several words in Russian that are often used incorrectly.

  • Remember: “them”! In no case is "theirs."
  • After prepositions, pronouns always add the letter "n". For example: with them, behind them, about her. It is illiterate to use the pronoun "with her." It will be correct to say: "with her."
  • There is a significant difference between the verbs “dress” and “put on”. The first verb is used when someone is dressing someone: "Mom dressed her son." And the verb “put on” means to put on oneself: “Put on a hat”.
  • There are two verbs that are often confused: “put” and “put”. The verb “put” is used without a prefix, but “put” without a prefix is ​​never used. That is, one cannot say “bent” or “lied”.
  • In modern Russian, there is a suffix -s, but by no means a -s. In Russian folk tales this will not be considered a mistake, but now it’s better not to say that. It’s right to say: “studied”, but not “studied”.
  • There is a group of words with the prefix "by" or "under", where some unwittingly substitute an extra letter. Remember: cut your hair, slip, handwriting. However: “emphasize”.
