Non-union proposals, examples. A semicolon sentence with a semicolon

How to explain the statement of commas and colons on the letter and how to determine their location? Answers to such questions should be known to every educated person, which is why this topic is given so much time in the learning process. For correct placement of punctuation marks on writing one of the main topics in the school curriculum in the Russian language are allied and non-union sentences.

What is an alliance?

In order to deal with this topic, first you need to familiarize yourself with the definition of such a part of speech as an alliance. This is the service part used to link words in individual word combinations, as well as several grammatical bases of a complex sentence. The union, like prepositions, does not answer questions, does not mean an object, its action or attribute, and if this part of speech is used to link words or components of a sentence, it is called the union. If this connection is transmitted only with the help of intonation and meaning, then we have uncounted sentences. Examples of such a semantic dependence can be found in any utterance. And that and another link on the letter is allocated by certain signs of punctuation depending on the arrangement of parts of the sentence.

Varieties and classification

In their structure, there are several types of alliances.

• Composite - consisting of two or more words. For example: because, so that, because how.
• Simple - consisting of a single word. For example: a, and, but, however.
• Derivatives - which were formed on the basis of other parts of speech. For example: also, where, which.
• Single or non-recurring unions. They can only be used once in a sentence.
• Pair or double - having a pair. For example: if ... then, because ... how.

It should be noted that one and the same union in structure can refer directly to several items at once. For example: "and" - simple, non-derivative and single.

By the way of communication of parts of the proposal or its homogeneous members, unions are divided into subordinate and co-operative. These two groups, in turn, are divided into several varieties.

The composition of the composition unions include:

• Connecting, serving for the semantic connection in the enumeration (yes, and, not only ... but also others);
• Adversive unions are used to contrast the qualities and attributes of an object;
• Separating - serve only to dilute the text, breaking a number of enumerations.

The second group is subordinate unions, which are used to link words and parts of complex sentences.

• Explanatory, expressive explanations. These are the words: what, that, as if.
• Circumstantial alliances linking complex combinations of offer with indication of location, time, purpose, effect, condition, assignment, comparison and reason. These include such unions: where, where to, so that, as if, although, despite.

What is an all-union proposal?

Examples of an association between several grammatical bases in Russian are very common. The essence of such combinations lies in its name. In other words, alliances in conversation are replaced by intonation, and on the letter they are separated by the same punctuation marks as they are used. It should be noted that a complex sentence is called only in the case when it has several grammatical bases. A semicolon sentence with a comma looks something like this:

• The sun was setting over the horizon, the wind rose. - This connection is divided by a pause in reading, and a comma on the letter.

The same sentence can be written using the union:

• The sun was setting over the horizon, and the wind rose. - In this example, the "and" union is used to link the two grammatical bases.

In addition to a comma, parts of a sentence can be separated by a semicolon and a dash.

Punctuation and options for communication in the proposal

How can you determine which signs in non-union sentences you need to use when writing them? To begin with, it is necessary to understand what kind of semantic connection exists between all grammatical bases that makes a statement a single whole.

In conversation, an intonational connection is usually used, which is divided into three types.

• Enumeration. For example: It was raining, the wet asphalt darkened, a delicate aroma emanated from the wet dust.
• Contrast. For example: There will be a rain - there will be mushrooms.
• Explanation. For example: I say definitely: you have talent.

Precisely because of the intonation of the utterance, it is often easy to determine what the author wants to express, and, accordingly, to write down all the words with the correct punctuation marks.

Comma and non-union sentences

Examples of sentences with non-union communication using commas can be found in almost any text. As already mentioned, this punctuation mark is used in writing complex sentences with several grammatical basics, which are closely related in meaning and sound like an enumeration. That is, when there is a connecting connection between all the fundamentals, where the relationship between them is constructed in such a way that the "and" union would harmoniously fit in between them. Grammatical foundations with all parts of speech attached to them in this case are marked with commas on the letter. In conversation, they are singled out with intonation with notes of enumeration and pauses.

When to put a semicolon?

As a rule, the object of writing a semicolon is a sentence with an association. This sign is often found in literary works and is used in several cases:

• When there is no close semantic connection between the parts of the sentence. Or they are diluted by a large number of other members with a comma between them.
• In the event that a complex non-union proposal has several groups, separated from each other in meaning.
• When both semantic and union relations are observed in the sentence. In this case, the semicolon is placed on the border of the parts, and only the comma before the union.

Colon in sentences

Very often, for the transmission of the intonation of the utterance on a letter with a certain dependence of its parts, use is made of non-union sentences. Examples of the use of the colon in such cases are often encountered, and this sign should be put in such cases:

• The second part reveals or explains the meaning of the first, both that and the other can consist of several grammatical bases. As a rule, between them it is easy to substitute the union "viz."
• The first part contains a verb that warns about the subsequent description or statement of fact. In this case, the "what" union can easily be inserted between the parts.
• If the second part indicates the cause or cause of the action described in the first component. Such a connection can easily be supplemented by unions "because", "because", "because".
• In the case where the second part is a direct matter.

When to put a dash

The main object of writing dashes are non-union sentences. Examples of his statement in complex sentences show that this sign is used in several cases:

• With the unexpected joining of the second part to the first, where the dash is easily replaced by the "and" union. In this case, it is very important not to confuse a close semantic connection with the unexpected turn of the statement.
• When there is an opposition of one grammatical basis of a complex sentence to another, where it is easy to substitute the "but" or "a" union.
• If the second part of the sentence is a consequence of the first part or the conclusion coming from the first part. It is easy to verify such a connection by substituting "therefore" and "then" in the proposal.
• In the case of indicating the time, condition, or comparison of an event occurring in the second part of a complex sentence.
• If the word "it" can be put between grammatical fundamentals.

The use of punctuation marks makes possible the transmission of a semantic and intonational connection on a letter. And also allows you to emphasize the dependence of simple grammatical bases, combined in a complex or complex subordinate proposal. Exactly such signs as a comma, a semicolon, a dash and a colon allow you to record and afterwards correctly read the emotions expressed by the author.
