Genitive. Value and use

The school curriculum includes information on the six cases of the Russian language, each student must know their meaning and be able to incline nouns, pronouns, and so on. Generations of students compete in inventing a ridiculous and absurd rhyme to make it easier for them to remember their order when declined. Yes, everyone, probably, from childhood remembers: "Ivan gave birth ..." - and so on ...

The word "begat" in this mnemonic tongue-twister denotes the genitive case. In grammatical terms, this is not direct, but one of the five indirect cases. In many languages he expresses a possessive attitude, and also performs other functions. It is easy to learn it, it is necessary to put the question of "who?" Or "what?" With the auxiliary word "no" in this case form, and if it does not change, it means - it is the genitive case. For example:

A) "No what?" - the sun, conversation, songs;

B) "no one?" - uncles, mothers, dogs.

The prepositions "y", "before", "from", "from", "from", "about", "around", "without", "for" are used with the genitive case form. For example: near a hut, from a house, around a gazebo. The genitive case of the plural is not an exception. For example: near houses, from answers, around sites.

The primitive genitive case in the following meanings is used without prepositions:

1. In the sense of belonging, it refers to a person who owns an object. For example: Mikhalkov's poems, brother's coat, sketch of the artist.
2. Explains the meaning, the relationship between objects. For example: the director of the plant, part of the aircraft, the rule of spelling.
3. Indicates the quality and attributes. For example: the diligence of the schoolboy, the tenderness of the mother, the blue of the sky, the beauty of flowers.
4. With numeral or word defining measure, quantity, comparison. For example: brighter than the sun, one meter of cloth, ten children, five schoolchildren.
5. With a verbal name, where the case form denotes the object over which the action is performed. For example: the execution of the task, taking Perekop, washing dishes.

The genitive genitive case denotes:

1. A direct object if the verb that controls the verb form is negative. For example: does not like flowers, does not take his eyes off the picture.
2. If the action of the controlling verb is subjected not to the whole object, but only to its part. For example: pour (a glass) of milk, eat (Gorbushka) bread.
3. After a series of control verbs. For example: to achieve success, to wait for promotion, to ask for forgiveness.
4. After those verbs that have the meaning of removal, deprivation, fears and the like. For example: to be afraid of the dark, to lose shelter.

Often the genitive case, the end of its word forms, is mistakenly replaced by another:

1. Accusative with the pretext "for". For example: Pushkin and Lermontov are singers for freedom, instead of singers of freedom.
2. Accusative with the pretext "on". For example: Good nutrition is important not only for the patient, instead - for the patient.
3. Creative with the preposition "c". For example: Emotions are not separable from feelings, instead of feelings.
4. Proposal with the pretext "on". Young people regard life on a material position, instead of a material position.
5. Genitive with the preposition instead of the genitive without a preposition. For example: The public condemned looting and murder against civilians, instead of robbery and killing of civilians.

Incorrect use of cases is considered a gross speech error. To be known as a competent and intelligent speaker, it is necessary to learn the rules of declension.
