In Russian, verbs are formed mainly in a prefixal way. There are a total of 26 verbal prefixes in the Russian language. The same prefix can appear in several phonetic variants. For example, the prefix o-(ob-, ob-): color, go around, go around.

Each verb prefix has several meanings. For example, the prefix has 9 meanings. Here are some of them: 1) movement over an object (jump over a puddle); 2) repeated action (read the book again); 3) dividing an object into parts (cutting a log in half); 4) excessive completeness of action (oversalt food); 5) extending the action to all subjects (re-read all books); 6) mutual action (with the postfix xia-) (correspond with parents); 7) achieving victory, winning (outwitting everyone).

Some prefixes, when attached to a verb, do not introduce additional shades of the meaning of the word, but change the imperfect form of the verb to the perfect: do - make, bake - bake, write - write.

Prefixed verbs are often used in a figurative meaning: to get into a position, to suffer an illness, to look around, to retire.

Verb prefixes

A typical means of forming verbs from other verbs is prefixes. Most of the prefixes have a common origin and a common sound composition with the sentence, as a result of which they, to a certain extent, perform a similar role. The commonality of the functions of prefixes and prepositions is manifested in the parallelism of the use of identical prefixes and prepositions in one syntactic construction, for example: bring into the house, place under the plate, move away from the board . This is observed primarily when expressing spatial relations, and figuratively in other cases: make improvements to the design of the machine, deviate from the letter of the law . But prefixes also have meanings that are not expressed by prepositions. This is, for example, the meaning of the perfect form that prefixed verbs receive if it is not paralyzed by a suffix.

Prefixes usually have ramified meanings, and in some cases the connection of some meanings with others is quite clear, the emergence of secondary meanings from primary ones is caught without difficulty, in others the meanings have diverged and become isolated, and reducing them to a common original meaning encounters serious difficulties. Differences in the meaning of prefixes are largely due to differences in the lexical meaning of verbs.

The most primary meanings of prefixes are various kinds of indications of the origin of actions in space; they specify the action, establishing the direction and distribution of the action, limit it by indicating the starting and ending point, the space covered, the limit, and the movement of objects in, out, up, down. This is most clearly observed in verbs of motion. In one way or another, these meanings are accompanied by indications of the beginning and end of an action, the achievement of a result, the insignificance, intensification, completeness, intensity of the action and a number of more frequent meanings characteristic of individual prefixes. In the future, the main meanings of prefixes will be highlighted.

First of all, we will consider cases in which prefixes have a clear meaning that ensures their productivity. In this case, the source material for analysis will be those formations in which the prefixed verb is opposed to the unprefixed verb, without any other differences ( throw away - throw away ). A special group of formations consists of verbs that differ from unprefixed ones not only by the presence of a prefix, but also by the particle xia-; consideration of these cases refers to the end of the review of the meanings of individual prefixes.

To find out the meaning of prefixes, it is of great help to determine whether the verb has controlled words and which case (without a preposition or with a preposition) it controls. In the following review, where required, examples will be given with controlled words.

A considerable number of prefixed verbs, especially among long-existing words, received a meaning that does not follow from their morphological composition; they are isolated from the corresponding unprefixed verbs, and in them the meanings of the prefixes are obscured, or the prefix can only be distinguished etymologically: give - sell, be - arrive, sell, forget etc. Such formations remain outside the limits of living types of verbal word formation, and therefore isolated examples of them are given only to demonstrate their difference from prefixes of a productive nature.

Also, a special position in word formation is occupied by prefixed verbs, next to which there are no unprefixed verbs with the same stem. They are called verbs with bound stems; examples of them are derived verbs: a) take off, pick up, take and etc;. b) say, order, refuse, order and etc.; V) fold, lay down, lay down, put aside and etc.; G) get used to, get used to, get used to and etc.

Verbs with bound stems are overwhelmingly a legacy of the past, and their morphological composition is often obscured; individual verbs with far removed meanings even became completely isolated from their root group and lost their distinctness (understand, borrow, take away ); Only in rare cases do prefixes more or less retain their meaning. In this regard, they will usually appear in the review among formations with a darkened meaning of the prefixes.

A characteristic feature of verbal prefixes is that among them there are widely represented pairs of antonym prefixes: bring in, take out, put in, put aside etc. Comparison of such prefixes helps to understand their meanings, but due to the polysemy of prefixes, their opposite in meaning covers only some cases of their use. Console in- (in-) indicates the direction of action inward, which is especially pronounced in verbs of motion that control the accusative case with a preposition V; unprefixed verbs do not indicate the direction of movement: to go - to enter the city, to carry - to bring into the dining room, to paste a page into a book and etc.

Console You- has several widely divergent meanings. In the first group, the initial designation of the direction of action is “outward”; in these cases You- acts as an antonym of the prefix V-; the designation of an object from within which the action is directed is expressed in the genitive case with prepositions from, from; go - leave the city; carry - take out of the dining room, pour out of a bottle, pull out of the water, unload from a car and etc.

The initial meaning of the prefix is ​​distance from the observer and advancement beyond an obstacle or object; in these cases the verb controls the accusative in the preposition behind: go - go behind the house, go - go behind the mountain and etc.

Console from- only in rare cases does movement outward matter, in accordance with the preposition from: drive out - expel from the country, remove from the eye and etc.

Console from- expresses movements that begin with separation from some limit. This meaning is clearly expressed when there is a noun with a preposition from: drive - drive away from the village, fly - fly away from the airfield and etc.

Console under- denotes a movement aimed at placing an object below an object or directing an action (for intransitive verbs) under an object; in this case the verb controls the accusative case with a preposition under: put - put under the car, drive - drive up under the bridge and etc.

Console y- What matters is the movement from the object to its complete removal, as well as the completion of the action.

Deletion is clearly expressed in verbs of motion; the starting point is indicated by the genitive case with prepositions from, from, with: leave the Caucasus, leave the theater, sail away from the shore, leak from the bucket and etc.

Console on the- indicates restriction of movement upon contact with an obstructing object, primarily its surface; in this case the verb controls the accusative case with a preposition on: drive - run over a bollard, run into a pole and etc.

Console With-, on the one hand, it means downward movement and separation, on the other, counter movement and unification. Thus, the downward movement is especially clearly reflected when accompanied by a controlled genitive case with the preposition With: drive down the mountain, throw off the roof and etc.

Adjacent to this value is the value of removal from the surface, to the side or without specifying a direction: remove the dust from the carpet and etc.

Complex console under- has the meaning of incompleteness of action, it is opposed to the prefix re-: underfulfill (overwork), underfulfill (overfulfill) and etc.

The complex prefix obez- (obes--) forms verbs from nouns and indicates the deprivation of the object or property that is denoted by the nouns: depopulate, disarm, behead; weaken, depreciate and etc.

We have named only a few prefixes used with verbs; there are many more.

Adverb prefixes

Word formation of adverbs is also carried out through prefixes. But in adverbs they interact closely with suffixes.

Console By- and suffix - And form adverbs: fatherly, brotherly, Czech, bird-like, fox-like and etc.

Console By- and the suffix - oh (him) form adverbs from relative and (less often) qualitative adjectives and pronouns: summer-like, winter-like, rich, new and etc.

Cases of forming adverbs from other adverbs by adding prefixes are unproductive: always - forever, now - from now on, tomorrow - the day after tomorrow and etc.

In this article we will look at the functions of prefixes in combination with verbs of motion. Verbs of motion themselves are a difficult topic, and the large number of prefixes complicates it even more. But it is always worth remembering that language is logical, and everything in it has its own meaning. If you have not yet learned all the pairs of verbs of motion and have not practiced them until they become automatic, then it is better to analyze the topic “prefixes + verb of motion” on one or two verbs.

People often confuse prefixes and prepositions. Because of this, the literacy of the texts they write suffers. And this happens due to the fact that not everyone understands the difference between a prefix and a preposition. This is precisely the cause of frequent mistakes.

What is the difference between a prefix and a preposition?

To make as few mistakes as possible when writing, you should remember the rule. And it says that prefixes are parts of words and are written together. With their help you can form new words.

Prepositions are an independent part of speech that must be written separately with other words. They help link words into coherent sentences.

The difficulty in defining is created by the fact that they often sound the same. That is why it is so important to understand how a prefix differs from a preposition. This rule should not only be memorized, but also be able to be used when writing.

To make this job easier, there are practical tips.

The verb has prefixes

But prepositions never stand next to verbs. This is one of the main tips. Therefore, we can answer the question of how a prefix differs from a preposition like this: “There can never be a preposition near a verb.”

As examples, you can take the words ran away, jumped up, flew in. The prefixes s-, sub-, v- in these verbs are similar in pronunciation to prepositions. But since we see verbs in front of us, we understand that they need to be written together.

Application of the first hint in life

Examples will help to consolidate the understanding of this feature, showing how a prefix differs from a preposition.

Petka ran away from class again. On the street, his beloved dog immediately jumped up to him, who was already waiting for him, lying under a school bench.

Let's look at these examples.

Escaped; from class.

In the first case, “s” is next to the verb, which means it is a prefix, and it is written together. In the second case, “s” refers to a noun, therefore, we cannot say anything concrete yet.

Using the same algorithm, we will analyze the words “jumped” and “under the bench.” In the first word we will sign the verb together, because it is a prefix. And in the phrase “under the bench,” the preposition “under” helps connect the words in a sentence and therefore stands separately from the noun.

But it is still difficult for children to determine the difference between prefixes and prepositions. The answer is provided by the second and third practical tips.

We put the noun in the initial form

This second tip is even more important. After all, it shows how a prefix differs from a preposition when it comes to nouns. Of course, it would be very simple if prefixes only helped form verbs. To the great regret of those who have difficulty spelling, nouns also have them.

This hint helps you determine the difference between prefixes and prepositions with nouns. It turns out that after we have determined that a word is not a verb, we should put it in the initial form, that is, in the nominative case.

Example of using the second hint

Knowing how to use a practical hint that determines how prefixes differ from prepositions, 5th graders can easily cope with the task. Fifth-graders usually already accurately understand where prefixes are and where prepositions are.

The algorithm of work is as follows. Reading the text:

The leg of the table broke

I'm tired of fixing it!

I'll look out the window...

And then - cut again!

Let’s check the phrase “at the table.”

  1. This is not a verb, therefore, it cannot be said with certainty that “y” is a prefix.
  2. We put “at the table” in the initial form along with the preposition, we get “table”. But such a word does not exist! There is only the word "table". So, “y” is a prefix. And it must be written separately from the noun.

Let’s look at the words “broke,” “tired,” and “I’ll see.” These are verbs, therefore, a priori they cannot have prepositions. We conclude: these are the prefixes “with”, “y”, “by”. And we already know how a prefix differs from a preposition in Russian - they need to be written together with the word.

  1. This is not a verb, therefore it cannot be argued that “in” is a prefix.
  2. We put “in the window” in the initial form along with the preposition, we get “in the window”. But such a word does not exist! There is only the word “window”. So, “in” is a prefix. And it must be written separately from the noun.

However, those who are especially stubborn may insist that the “window” actually exists, because even in the example it says so - “I’ll look out the window.” So that even they have nothing to hide, we will introduce them to one more, third practical tip. It is she who ultimately shows how a prefix differs from a preposition. The 5th grade may, as we see, give answers that are not entirely accurate if students do not know how to use it.

You can insert a question between a preposition and a word

Let's return to our example again. “Through the window” - which window? As you can see, the question fits well into the phrase. And if you wish, you can insert another word, for example, an adjective, instead of a question.

We come up with the following phrase: “I’ll look through the clean window for now.” Now it is clearly visible that the preposition and the noun have been successfully separated. Therefore, “in” cannot possibly be a preposition.

Examples of using the third hint

To be one hundred percent confident in the spelling of prefixes and prepositions with words, you should always put the third hint into practice.

“Arrival” is not a verb, therefore, we try to insert a question between “at” and “flight”. We can't do anything. This means that this is one word that needs to be written together.

“Flying” is not a verb, therefore, we are trying to insert a question between “for” and “flying.” We can't do anything. This means that this is one word that needs to be written together.

Working with context hints

So, let’s work out the algorithm for using hints in practice.

Cranes flew over the blue river.

  1. “Above the blue” is not a verb, therefore we cannot claim that it is a prefix.
  2. We put the phrase in the initial form. “Overblue” - such a word does not exist, which means it is not a prefix, but a preposition.
  3. “Over the winding blue river” - another word is easily inserted between the preposition and the word. This once again proves that we have a word with a preposition.
  4. Conclusion: “above” and “blue” must be written separately.

“Fly by” is a verb, therefore, “at” is a prefix and is written together with “fly”.

Consolidating rules and prepositions in practice

There are many options for strengthening your writing skills. Here's one way.

A text is given in which both prefixes and prepositions are placed in brackets. The student needs to open the brackets, that is, write the words either together or separately.

1. (over) the mountain, (over) run, (from) return, (from) roofs, (on) an envelope, (on) cut, (in) flew, (in) house, (from) rolled (from) mountains , (along) ran (along) paths, (about) read (about) cars, (to) drove (to) a birch, (to) ran (through) the village, (about) read (about) the city.

2. (In) the yard there was a mountain. There were a lot of children (on) the mountain all day. Mitya (on) a sled (from) rolled (from) the mountain.

(In) the hall there is a fragrant Christmas tree. (On) the branches are toys. Children ran (to) the fluffy beauty.

An interesting option for strengthening spelling skills of prefixes and prepositions is to select them yourself according to their meaning and insert them into context.

...I wandered ... the barn and ... fell asleep deeply ... in a pile of hay. All the guys...ran...on ice...skating.

Outdoor games and competitions in Russian language lessons

You can work on strengthening this skill in class without writing. The game "Clap" is played. All the guys get up from the tables. Those who make mistakes will sit down. As a result, only those children who are the most attentive and know how to use the rules will remain standing.

The teacher reads the words, and the players must clap their hands if the word has a prefix.

Arrived, flying, out the window, along the path, ran, squealed, at our Masha, at Masha, got away, got away, subdued, ordered, in front of me, diligent, beautiful, took communion, communion, aspen boletus, under the aspen, licking up, covering up, taking cover , cover, cover, over the trough, covered, covered, rug, lieutenant colonel.

The children who remain standing can be “rewarded” by giving them excellent marks in the journal.

The relay race is interesting, fun and unusual in the Russian language lesson. The class is divided into three teams, it is best to do this in rows. The board is also divided into three parts - each team is allocated one third. Cards with words are placed on the table in such a way that the words themselves are not visible. The guys run out to the table one by one, take any card and read what is written. If you come across a word with a prefix, it is written down in one column, if it is a phrase with a preposition, in another.

The team that completes the task the fastest will win. But here the second condition also applies: all words must be written correctly and be in their own column. If a team finishes first, it is awarded 20 points, second place - 15, and third - 10. For each mistake, one point should be taken away. After counting the errors and remaining points, the winning team can be calculated. The teacher decides how to reward its participants. But usually the recognition itself is enough for children. And the losers can be forced to crow or tug their own ears to the music.

Such games awaken children's interest in knowledge, because excitement and the thirst for victory are the strongest feelings. It is all the more easy to consolidate skills because children have a specific goal - to win the game against their comrades. This is not some illusory task - to learn to write correctly in order to be considered a cultured person. Therefore, playing in Russian lessons is a must!
