Which is correct: during the day or throughout the day? This question is asked by many students high school. A comprehensive answer to this can be obtained from the presented article.
General information
Let's sum it up
Now you know in which cases you should write the letter “i” at the end of the expression “during ...”, and in which cases you should write “e”. To remember the described rules, let's present them in a shorter form:
1. The letter “e” is always written at the end of the word “during” if it complex preposition, which means “in a certain period of time.” like this service part speech can also be recognized by the fact that it cannot be asked a question, but can be easily replaced with a synonym (during).
2. At the end of the word “during” the letter “and” is written if this is a noun appearing in In order to determine this part speech, to the presented expression it is enough to ask the question: “in what?” - during. You can also easily put a word between a preposition and a noun (for example, in a slow current, in a stormy current, etc.).
Exercises to reinforce the material
To remember the above rules of the Russian language, we recommend that you complete the following tasks yourself:
1. Find errors in the sentences:
- Within 14 days I must return to Moscow.
- There were many whirlpools throughout the river.
- I will be released within 24 hours.
- During my life I have seen a lot.
2. Fill in the blanks in the following sentences:
- Why didn't you come to me during the lesson?
- Oh, no one knows how much we used these papers over the course of a month.
- In the stormy current of the river I noticed a man.
- We argued several times over the course of the year.
- I will definitely visit you during this year.
- How could you swim in a strong river current?
- In the turbulent course of my life there were so many events that I can’t remember everything.
In Russian there are two possible options the use of words – “during” and “during”. To choose the right one, you need to determine what part of speech the word is in the sentence.
Right
For– such a combination in a sentence is often a complex preposition, which is always written with the letter “e” at the end of the word. Used in designs like: for an hour, for a day, for two minutes, etc. Can be replaced with synonyms: throughout, for (some time), during, during.
You must provide documents within two days
No one lived in this house for three years.
The referees were watching us throughout the game.
We've been doing this for a very long time.
Money should arrive within an hour
For– very rarely such a construction in a sentence can be a combination of a preposition with a noun in the form of the accusative case (in what?)
Engineers made changes to fluid flow
Dye added to clear liquid
During– a combination of the preposition “in” with the noun “current” in the form prepositional case, answers the question “in what?”. The letter “i” is written at the end of the word. You can add a modifier between a preposition and a noun without losing the meaning of the sentence.
Changes have been recorded in the course of the river – Changes have been recorded in the course of the river under study
There can be many surprises in the flow of a mountain river – There can be many surprises in the fast flow of a mountain river
There were stones in the slow flow of the lava flow – There were stones in the slow flow of the lava flow
We wondered for a long time that it floated down the river
Eat unsolved mystery over time
Important! If the context of a sentence implies “the passage of time” as some kind of abstract physical quantity, which has the property of fluidity, then a combination of the preposition “in” and the noun “flow” (prepositional case form) is used. Usually used with an explanatory word(adjective), which indicates that the word “current” is a noun, and not a complex preposition.
In the inexorable passage of the day, the hour of reckoning was getting closer
In the rapid flow of life, he did not have time to do the most important thing
In the crazy flow of the day I forgot to call home
One of the common cases when difficulties arise when choosing correct option spelling is “during” or “during”. It is useful for everyone to know how to correctly use such phrases in a text, since even the Word program most likely will not help clarify the situation with the correct ending. The built-in spell checker is only useful when you type "in progress" or "in progress" instead of "in progress."
During – together or separately? The answer to this question is clear. In any case, it is correct to write separately. This is where a text editor with a built-in spell checker will help, highlighting continuous writing as wrong. However, automatic fixing is not always available. So it's easier to remember this easy rule, which will help out under any circumstances.
Which ending is correct: “e” or “i”? There is no clear answer here. Both options are correct, but are used in different cases, since they differ in meaning. At the same time, automatic spell checking is powerless, because spelling a phrase with either the ending “i” or “e” is not incorrect.
So you can find out for sure which ending should be written only by looking at the phrase in the sentence.
Spelling in cases where you can ask the question “in what?”
Correct: with the ending “and”.
These are two parts of speech: the preposition “in” and the noun, which is in the prepositional case. That is, the phrase answers the question “in what?” The noun following the preposition in such cases can have any of the meanings (for example, “flow” or “development”):
Years later, scientists noticed changes (in what?) in the flow of the river.
Doctors managed to achieve improvement (in what?) in the course of the disease.
In addition, a noun can have dependent words, that is, for the purpose of spelling check, the combination is easily separated by inserting an adjective into it. For example:
In the (what?) rapid flow of events, a pattern became noticeable.
Spelling when meaning “for some time” or “during”
Correct: with the ending "e".
This is a complex preposition, which is similar in meaning to the expressions “during”, “for the time” or “during”. Following the rules of the Russian language, the ending of a combination with this meaning should always be written in the form of the letter “e”:
During the lesson, schoolchildren studied the spelling of the adjective “tin” and made sentences with the word.
Over the past four years, they have vacationed at sea three times.
Two individual words form one part of speech (complex preposition), therefore it will not be possible to insert anything else between them without violating the meaning. This feature can be used for testing purposes. So, for example, you cannot separate this stable combination by inserting an additional word in the following sentence:
He had been unable to grasp the ever-elusive moment for a long time.
For comparison: between the preposition “in” and the noun “current” you can insert the word “fast”:
He once tried to capture a subtle moment (of what?) in the rapid passage of time.
Spelling in cases where you can ask the question “what?”
Correct: with the ending "e".
Here everything is in many ways similar to the case with the phrase ending in “and”. The difference lies in the question answered by the combination: “into what?” or “where?” These are the same two parts of speech: a preposition and a noun, but in the accusative. Otherwise there are no differences. The noun here can also be used in any meaning (for example, “flow” or “course”):
The authorities learned that industrial waste had gotten into (what?) the river.
He noticed that (into what?) memories of the previous conversation constantly burst into his thoughts.
IN similar cases it is also possible for a noun to have dependent words. That is, to check the spelling, for example, an adjective is inserted into the middle of the combination, and the phrase will still make sense.
Conclusions
Regardless of the semantic load and ending (“e” or “i”), the phrase is written separately. At the same time, there is a choice last letter during writing, the meaning in the sentence is influenced, that is, belonging to one or two parts of speech.
Should be written ending with "and", If:
- it answers the question “in what?”, being a preposition and a noun;
The phrase should be written with ending "e", If:
- it is similar in meaning to the expressions “during”, “during”, “during the time”, being stable combination, which is used as a complex preposition;
- It is impossible to put a word between the parts of the combination.
- the phrase answers the question “what?”, being a preposition and a noun;
- You can put a word between the parts of the combination.
How to write correctly: “within 24 hours” or “within 24 hours”, “to say in conclusion” or “to say in conclusion”?
Spelling words like during, in continuation, in contrast, in order to avoid, in conclusion, as a result, like , as well as adverbs subsequently not hard to remember.
During or during, in continuation or in continuation?
If we're talking about about time and you can ask a question “How long?" - at the end we writeE:
- Egor worked for e three days (how long did it last? - three days)
- Elena rested in continuation e weeks (how long? - a week)
- Throughout his life, he did not master the rules of the Russian language (for how long? - during his entire life)
If I may ask a question "Where?"or we are talking about the flow of water - we write AND:
- Igor saw a swimmer in the current And rivers (saw where - in a river flow, in a stream of water)
- The author revealed this secret in the sequel And of his book (revealed where? - in the next part of the book)
In conclusion or in conclusion?
If you mean " at the end of something, completing something", we write E:
- Evgeniy sang a song in prisone banquet
- In conclusion e During the examination, the doctor said that you need to wash your hands before eating
If you mean " in places of detention" or " a certain document or part of it, which can be called “Conclusion”, we write AND:
- Igor is in prison And due to suspicion of bribery
- In conclusion And The doctor said that Ilya is sick with inflammation of the cunning
There is a bearded joke: “A man is wandering around Red Square with a banner that says: “Freedom for Brezhnev!” A policeman approached: “What are you doing, man?!” What makes you think that Brezhnev is in prison? “So on the radio in the morning they said: “In custody And Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev said...”
As a consequence and subsequently
If you can replace it with a word "because of", we write due to . Together and with E at the end:
- Vasya was fired from work due to absenteeism (kicked out because of what?)
If you mean "in the investigative authorities", "during investigation", we write separately and with AND at the end:
- As a resultthere has been a breakthrough in the criminal case
- As a resultour district operatives work day and night
If you can replace it with a word "after something", "then", we write subsequently .Together and with AND at the end:
- Vasya subsequently kicked out of work due to absenteeism (kicked out after what?)
In contrast
If after the words "in contrast" there is an excuse from , we write from E :
- Unlike his son, he studied poorly
- Unlike Paris, Krasnoyarsk is fabulously beautiful
In conclusion, during, as a result of, in contrast to, in order to avoid, in continuation, like- V in this case prepositions V And on combined with accusative case nouns on -ies, the end of which coincides with the end nominative case such nouns. Adverb subsequently formed by combining the preposition V with the prepositional case form of the noun a consequence, due to which the ending of the prepositional case is preserved: -And.
In every special case we need to understand which part of speech is in front of us - noun + preposition or adverb. Becoming prepositions, nouns lose their lexical and grammatical meaning and also lose independence. Attached to nouns, prepositions together with case endings nouns only indicate their relationship to the words to which they are subordinated.
For example, the noun flow There is lexical meaning water flow, water direction. Flow can be used in different cases with different prepositions: from the flow, along the flow, etc. The pretext for expresses only temporary relationships: during the month, during the day.
Secondly, you should pay attention to the fact that some prepositions and adverbs formed from prepositional case forms of nouns are written together:like, as a result, subsequently. The consistency and separation of writings is regulated lexical-morphological principle of spelling.
