How to do a punctuation analysis of a sentence
There is no doubt that the signsPunctuation plays a crucial role in writing a sentence. With their help, you can not only display the emotional color of the written, but also emphasize the importance of this or that statement and even change the meaning of the statement. To teach people to put all these signs correctly, in grammar, there is a section like punctuation. Punctuation parsing of the sentence will allow you to understand why in each individual case it is necessary to apply or not to use different signs.
Instructions
1
To begin the analysis of the sentence, explain whyAt the end of the sentence, one or another punctuation mark (dot, exclamation mark, question mark, ellipsis, etc.) is selected. For this it is necessary to determine the purpose of the statement in the sentence and its emotional coloring.
2
If the sentence contains a complete message,then it is narrative. If something is asked about something, the question is interrogative, and if there is a motivation for action - a request or an order - then it is an incentive. Exclamation intonation requires an exclamation mark. When speech is interrupted by a pause or there is an understatement in it, then an ellipsis is put.
3
Next, determine which is the constructionOffers - simple or complex. If the proposal is difficult, find out how many parts it consists of and what is the relationship between them - writing, subordinating, union or unionless. Thus, you can explain the reason for choosing the signs that all these parts share.
4
Analyze the functions of punctuation marks inSimple sentence or signs in each of the parts of a complex sentence in turn. Find and explain the distinguishing and separating signs in the sentence or its parts.
5
Isolating, or excretory signs (comma,Dashes, colon, double signs - brackets, quotes) are used to highlight components that complicate a simple sentence. These are introductory words, phrases and sentences, addresses, homogeneous members of the proposal, separate definitions or annexes, circumstances and additions, clarifying and explanatory members of the proposal.
6
Separating or separating signsare used to separate the homogeneous members of a sentence into a simple construction or to separate simple sentences into complex ones (comma, semicolon, dash, colon).
7
In the event that the sentence is presentDirect speech, find and select the words of the author and, in fact, the very direct speech, which can be in any position - before the words of the author, after them or interrupted by them. Remember that if a direct speech is in front of the author's words or after them, four punctuation marks are put (in the direct speech representation). If the direct speech is interrupted by the words of the author, the "law of the seven" is observed, i.e. Seven punctuation marks in the direct speech display.
8
To facilitate the punctuation parsing of the sentence, execute its punctogram graphically. If there are several pantograms in your proposal, explain each of them separately.
9
Emphasize the grammatical basis, select the homogeneous members of the sentence. Draw a diagram of the sentence, making a graphic designation of the places where you need to put punctuation marks.
