Russian is one of the most difficult languages \u200b\u200bin the world. A huge number of rules and exceptions lead to the fact that mastering the language at a good level is difficult not only for foreigners, but also for the indigenous people of Russia.

When writing and editing texts, you often need to brush up on the rules of the Russian language. In order not to go to Google or Yandex every time, I have collected the most important rules on my blog. And I want to start with the rules of punctuation in Russian.

Comma or not

« Besides"- always separated by commas (both at the beginning and in the middle of a sentence).

« Likely"In the meaning" very likely, most likely "- separated by commas. For example: "Of course, all because of the cognac and the steam room, otherwise he would most likely have kept silent." In the meaning of "fastest" - it does not stand out. For example: "This way most likely it was possible to come to the house."

« Rather"Is not separated by commas:

• if in the meaning of "better, more willingly" For example: "She would rather agree to die than betray him."
• if it means "better to say". For example: "uttering a remark or rather an exclamation."

« Rather"Is separated by a comma if this is an introductory word expressing the author's assessment of the degree of reliability of a given statement in relation to the previous one (in the meaning of" most likely "or" most likely "). For example: "He cannot be called an intelligent person - rather, he is on his own mind."

« Of course», « sure"- is not separated by commas at the beginning of the response, pronounced in a tone of confidence, conviction:" Of course it is! "
In other cases, a comma is needed.

The expressions " generally», « generally"Are set apart in the meaning" in short, in a word, "then they are introductory and are separated by commas.

« First of all"Are separated by commas as introductory words in the meaning of" first ". For example: "First of all, he's a pretty capable person." A comma is not used if these words are used with the meaning "first, first". For example: "First of all, you need to contact a specialist." Comma after " and», « but"And so on is not needed:" But first of all, I want to say. " When clarifying, the entire turnover is highlighted: "There is a hope that these proposals, primarily from the Ministry of Finance, will not be accepted or will be changed."

« At least», « at least"- are isolated only with inversion:" This issue has been discussed twice, at least. "

« In its turn"- not highlighted with a comma in the meaning of" on their side "," in response when the turn came. " And as input they are isolated.

« Literally"- not an introductory one, not separated by commas.

« Hence". If in the meaning "therefore, thus, means", then commas are needed. For example: "So you are therefore our neighbors."
BUT! If in the meaning "therefore, therefore, proceeding from the fact that", then the comma is needed only on the left. For example: “I have found a job, therefore we will have more money”; “You are angry, therefore you are wrong”; "You cannot bake a cake, therefore I will bake it."

« Least". If the meaning is "at least", then no commas. For example: “At least I will wash the dishes”; "He made at least a dozen mistakes."
BUT! If in the meaning of comparison with something, emotional assessment, then with a comma. For example: "At the very least, this approach presupposes control", "This requires at least an understanding of politics."

« That is, if», « especially if"- a comma is usually not needed.

« I.e»Is not an introductory word and is not separated by commas on either side. This is a union, a comma is placed in front of it (and if in some contexts a comma is placed after it, then for other reasons: for example, to highlight a certain isolated structure or subordinate clause that follows it).
For example: "Another five kilometers to the station, that is, an hour of walking" (no comma is needed), "Another five kilometers to the station, that is, if you walk slowly, an hour of walking" (a comma after "that is" is placed to highlight the subordinate clause the sentence "if you go slowly").

« Anyway"Are separated by commas as introductory, if they are used in the meaning" at least ".

« Besides», « besides», « above all (other things)», « apart from everything (other things)»Are set aside as introductory.
BUT! "Apart from the fact that" is a union, the comma is NOT needed. For example: "In addition to the fact that he himself does nothing, he also makes claims against me."

« Thereby», « thanks to», « thanks to that"And" along with this"- a comma is usually not required. Segregation is optional. The presence of a comma is not an error.

« Especially"- no comma.

« Especially when», « especially since», « especially if" etc. - a comma is needed before "all the more". For example: "Such arguments are hardly needed, especially since this is a false statement", "even more so if it is meant", "rest, especially since a lot of work awaits you", "you cannot sit at home, especially if your partner invites to dance. "

« Moreover"- highlighted with a comma only in the middle of the sentence (left).

« Nevertheless"- the comma is placed in the middle of the sentence (on the left). For example: "He decided everything, nevertheless I will try to convince him."
BUT! If “but nevertheless”, “if nevertheless”, etc., then commas are NOT needed.

If a " however"In the meaning" but ", then the comma on the right side is NOT put. (An exception is if it is an interjection. For example: "However, what a wind!").

« Finally"- if in the meaning" in the end ", then the comma is NOT put.

« Really"Is not separated by commas in the meaning of" really "(that is, if this is a circumstance expressed in an adverb), if it is synonymous with the adjective" valid "-" real, genuine ". For example: “The bark itself is thin, not like that of an oak or pine, which really are not afraid of hot sun rays”; "You are really very tired."

« Really»Can act as an introductory and stand out. The introductory word is distinguished by intonational isolation - it expresses the speaker's confidence in the truth of the reported fact. In disputable cases, the issue of the placement of punctuation marks is decided by the author of the text.

« Because of"- the comma is NOT needed if it is a union, that is, if it can be replaced with" because ". For example: “As a child, he underwent a medical checkup because he fought in Vietnam”, “maybe all because I love it when a person sings” (a comma is needed, because with “because” replace it is impossible).

« Anyway". A comma is needed if the meaning is "anyway". Then this is introductory. For example: "She knew that, one way or another, she would tell Anna everything."
BUT!The adverbial expression “one way or another” (the same as “one way or another” or “in any way”) does NOT require punctuation. For example: "The war is somehow necessary."

The comma is not placed at the beginning of a sentence

• "Before ... I ended up ...".
• "Since…".
• "Before as…".
• "Although…".
• "As…".
• "To…".
• "Instead of…".
• "In general ...".
• "While…".
• "All the more so ...".
• "Nevertheless…".
• "Despite the fact that ..." (while - separately); a comma is NOT placed before the "what".
• "If…".
• "After…".
• "And ...".

The comma is placed depending on the position of the words (a) in the text

« Finally"In the meaning of" finally "is not separated by commas.

« And this despite the fact that... "- in the middle of the sentence, a comma is put!

« Based on this, ... "- at the beginning of the sentence, a comma is put. BUT: "He acted so on the basis of ..." - no comma is put.

« After all, if ... then ..."- a comma before" if "is not put, since then comes the second part of the double conjunction -" then ". If “then” is not present, then a comma is placed before “if”.

« Less than two years… "- no comma is placed before" what ", because it is not a comparison.

Comma before " how»Is put only in case of comparison. For example: "Such politicians as Ivanov, Petrov, Sidorov ..." - a comma is put, because there is a noun "politics". BUT: "... politicians such as Ivanov, Petrov, Sidorov ..." - no comma is put before "how".

« God grant», « god forbid», « for God's sake"- not separated by commas.

BUT: commas are placed on both sides:

• "Thank God" - in the middle of a sentence, separated by commas on both sides. If at the beginning of a sentence, it is highlighted with a comma (on the right side).
• "By God" - in these cases, commas are placed on both sides.
• "Oh my God" - separated by commas on both sides.

Something about introductory words

If the introductory word can be omitted or rearranged in another place of the sentence without violating its structure (usually this happens with the conjunctions "and" and "but"), then the union is not included in the introductory construction - a comma is needed. For example: "First, it got dark, and second, everyone is tired."

If the introductory word cannot be removed or rearranged, then the comma after the union (usually with the union "a") is not put. For example: “She just forgot about this fact, or maybe she never remembered it”, “… and therefore…”, “… or maybe…”, “…, which means…”.

If the introductory word can be removed or rearranged, then a comma is needed after the conjunction "a", since it is not associated with the introductory word, that is, soldered combinations such as "which means", "but by the way," "and therefore", " and maybe ", etc. For example:" She not only did not love him, but, perhaps, even despised him. "

If at the beginning of the sentence there is a compositional union (in the connecting meaning) "and", "yes" in the meaning of "and", "too", "also", "and that", "and then", "yes and", "a also "and others, and then the introductory word, then the comma in front of it is not needed. For example: "And really, it was not worth doing it"; “And perhaps it was necessary to do something differently”; “Finally, the action of the play is ordered and divided into acts”; “Besides, other circumstances have also emerged”; "But of course everything ended well."

It happens rarely: if at the beginning of the sentence there is a connecting union, and the introductory construction is highlighted intonationally, then commas are needed. For example: "But, to my great chagrin, Shvabrin decisively announced ..."; "And, as usual, they remembered only one good thing."

A few words about homogeneous members of the sentence

The following stable expressions are not homogeneous and therefore are not separated by commas:

• neither this nor that;
• neither fish nor fowl;
• neither stand nor sit;
• neither end nor edge;
• neither light nor dawn;
• neither hearing nor spirit;
• neither to myself nor to people;
• neither sleep nor spirit;
• neither here nor there;
• for no reason at all;
• neither give nor take;
• no answer, no hello;
• neither yours nor ours;
• neither subtract nor add;
• and so and so;
• both day and night;
• and laughter and grief;
• and cold and hunger;
• both old and young;
• about this and that;
• both;
• and in both.

General rule: the comma is not placed inside integral phraseological expressions formed by two words with opposite meanings, connected by a repeating union "and" or "neither."

Never separated by commas

1. Verbs in the same form indicating the movement and its purpose.

• I'll go for a walk.
• Sit down and rest.
• Go see.

2. Forming semantic unity.

• Can't wait.
• Let's sit and talk.

3. Paired combinations of synonymous, antonymic or associative nature.

• Search for truth-truth.
• There is no end-edge.
• Honor, praise everyone.
• Off we go.
• Everything is sewn-covered.
• Anything expensive to see.
• Purchase and sale issues.
• Greet with bread and salt.
• Tie hand and foot.

4. Complicated words (interrogative-relative pronouns, adverbs to which something is opposed).

• For someone, you can't.
• Somewhere, where, and everything is there.

Today we have a really difficult topic that causes a lot of controversy. Consider the question of whether a comma is needed after "in addition" or not. Let's reassure the reader and say that this is not the most difficult problem on the road to truth.

The answer to the main question

In fact, there should be no doubt about it, because everything is clear. "In addition" is an introductory combination, and therefore it always stands apart, regardless of location. For example:

• Dad played football very well, boxed, besides, he was an excellent cook, and I grew up and became a literary critic.

It is difficult to imagine that our object of research can be at the end of a sentence, because this introductory construction indicates a connection between thoughts, and the end of a sentence is the final presentation.

But, as with any rule, here you need to be careful not to confuse the introductory construction and the preposition with the pronoun. For example:

• I have nothing left of her as a keepsake, except for that blue handkerchief that she embroidered with her own hands..

If the reader needs an answer to the question of whether or not a comma is needed after "besides," then he is lucky, because the answer has already been given. But if we get rid of part of the structure and leave only the excuse, then real adventures and difficulties begin here.

The meaning of "in addition to something, in addition"

People who have not immersed themselves in the punctuation jungle of the Russian language almost automatically put a comma before the "except", not thinking much about the meaning. So, this is not worth doing, since there are subtle, subtle differences that sometimes even the author himself does not notice.

According to D.E. Rosenthal, constructions with a preposition are not isolated in the meaning of inclusion. Let's give an example to make it clear:

• In addition to great hot dogs, I would also eat some kind of salad, I'm still on a diet.

True, one cannot do without exceptions here. In some cases, to avoid ambiguity, even this kind of construct is isolated. For example:

• In addition to the notes, the case contains other evidence of the culprit.
• In addition to the records in the case, there is other evidence of the culprit.

Subtleties, of course, make it difficult to make a decision in one case or another. As you can see, the question of how to write “in addition” (whether a comma is needed or not) is not the most tricky one yet. But further it is even more interesting.

The meaning of "excluding, not counting"

Here, the reader and I find ourselves on familiar soil, where commas will still come in handy, moreover, they will be familiar. For example:

• Apart from the salad, there was nothing on the table. But the salad didn't wantb.

As you can see, not a single preposition is isolated, but the entire turnover as a whole. There is no point in spreading too long here, for this is a more or less well-known rule.

Besides and besides this - synonyms?

And here the opinions of ordinary people and sources were divided. The former believe that these are different constructions, and, accordingly, one is separated by commas, and the other is not. Sources claim their synonymy, which means that the "colleague" of the research object, being an introductory combination, is also highlighted with commas in the letter, regardless of its location in the sentence.

Linguistic delights can be discussed to the point of hoarseness, but let's try to resolve the dispute in practice. Suppose that "besides this" is an introductory construction, then the sentence with it will be the following:

• My sister played excellent badminton, tennis, besides that, she had a black belt in karate.

If we mentally replace “besides this” with “besides”, nothing will change, that is, practice shows that sources do not deceive. Another thing is when the introductory combination breaks down into a preposition and with a noun following it. For example:

• In addition to this issue, I would like to discuss the problem of low wages of our employees.

In this case, we cannot talk about an introductory construction, therefore, the placement of commas is subject to the general rule. This is easy to check: mentally remove the elements of the phrase that are in doubt, and the sentence will quickly become meaningless.

Yes, it’s not an easy job to place commas. Of course, the body cannot withstand physical exertion, and the psyche can not withstand mental exertion. But we try to make it so that the reader does not think what the combination looks like « besides »punctuation, especially since this is the easiest case.

Substitutions and other options

Russian spelling is difficult and punctuation is even more difficult. And even a literate person can find it difficult to determine the correct arrangement of punctuation marks. Following the line of least resistance, the question of how to correctly highlight “in addition” in the text (whether a comma is needed here or not) can be solved radically and abandon the construction altogether. There are two options here:

1. Remove it from the text - out of sight.
2. Replace with a similar design, but not so embarrassing.

Examples of sentences without the described combination are as follows:

• Dad is a great archer, stays in the saddle and cooks over the fire. Dad is a real reenactor.
• Tanya succeeds in everything: she fences beautifully, dances and interprets Hegel.

As you can see, whether we add the object of research to the sentences or not, the meaning will not change.

But sometimes you can't just edit the text, replacements are required. We offer some that are more suitable for the combination "in addition":

1. Part of speech "moreover" is union. We must be careful and remember that such phrases are isolated entirely, that is, putting a comma after the union is a mistake. For example: I love books, and I have plenty of free time to read them..
2. "Also" is a union. Its plus is that it also does not require isolation by itself, which means that there is no need to puzzle over commas. For example: I would also very much like to congratulate the charming Lyubov Viktorovna, she looks great in her 92 years!
3. "More" is an adverb and a particle that does not require isolation. For example: I would also like to note that life is wonderful!

As you can see, there is plenty to choose from in order to solve the problem - after "in addition" is a comma placed or not.

We hope that all these difficulties will not alienate the reader, and he will continue to improve in the knowledge of the great and mighty.

Introductory constructions always raise a lot of questions and doubts about punctuation, so in this case, hesitation is possible, whether a comma is needed after "in addition" or before it. Indeed, this combination can be introductory and require the setting of signs, or it can be an ordinary member of the sentence and not stand out in any way. Let's consider this issue and determine whether the words "in addition" are separated by commas or not, and where to put the signs.

"Also" is separated by commas

On both sides

If this combination is introductory, as is most often the case, then commas are required on both sides of "in addition" (of course, the comma at the beginning of the sentence is not put, as well as at the end - there is a sign for the end of the sentence).

• Zinaida, moreover, was beautiful and attracted people with her kind treatment.
• You need to go to the store, in addition, you need to look at your aunt and find out the question of matchmaking.

Before the word

1. If the introductory word is at the very beginning of the turnover, then the comma is not put after it, only after the whole turnover.

• Grandfather Matvey, who also preferred long walks, still wandered around the forest for days, although this was no longer part of his duties.
• The Shumakovs have already left and, in addition, preferring to rest abroad, will probably return penniless.

2. However, the combination "in addition" may not be introductory, being a member of the proposal. In this case, you can ask him the questions "except what?" or "except what?" Then, of course, the comma is placed only before "in addition", since the additions with this union are isolated.

Besides that

union

Syntactic constructions beginning with the conjunction "except that" are distinguished by punctuation marks. Moreover, if the union is not located at the beginning of the sentence, the comma is usually placed both before the word "except" and before the word "what".

As a girl, she did not stand out in anything in the crowd of brown gymnasium dresses: what could be said about herexcept that she is one of the pretty, rich and happy girls that she is capable, but playful and very careless about the instructions that a cool lady gives her? I. Bunin, Light breathing. I told you I won't give a dimeexcept that will follow the job. A. Fet, Autumn chores. Besides that a thousand rubles in pure money, we give three cloaks, bed and all the furniture. A. Chekhov, Wedding. Sitting next to a young woman, who at dawn seemed so beautiful, reassured and enchanted in the sight of this fabulous setting - the sea, mountains, clouds, wide sky, Gurov thought about how, in fact, if you think about it, everything is beautiful in this world, allexcept that we ourselves think and do when we forget about the higher goals of being, about our human dignity.
