The spelling of consonants is one of the key topics of the school curriculum. Children begin to master it from the first grade and continue to study it until the end of the course at school. The spelling "double consonants in teachers is not classified as complex, but difficulties in writing are still encountered, both among primary and secondary school students.

What is a double consonant, its place in a word

By observing pronunciation and writing, students notice that there is a group of words where a long consonant sounds, and in writing it is indicated by the same letters standing side by side. Since there are usually two such letters, such a combination of consonants began to be called doubled.

The next task is to develop the ability to determine the place of a double consonant in a word. Later, children learn that it can be located not only in the root, but also in other parts of it.

In words group, chord, alley, burns, ton there is an orthogram "double consonants at the root of the word". Examples of such words can be continued. It is worth noting that the doubled -zhzh- is found in the roots of words of Russian origin - yeast, reins, juniper, buzz - and all forms formed from them.

Consonant on the border of prefix and root

For example, in the words lawlessness, consider, get angry, fake, story, introduction the doubled consonant is written on the border of the prefix and the root. Having disassembled them by composition, the student will easily notice this feature.

To avoid mistakes in writing words of a similar structure, the child must be very good at parsing by composition, correctly identifying the prefix and the root. In addition, it is necessary to remember the peculiarities of writing prefixes ending in a consonant, in the case when the root also begins with it.

and their writing

At the root, words are written in the case when they are part of complex ones. They lack a connecting vowel, for example, head physician. The first part of it ends with a consonant, and the second begins with the same letter. Let's say words like maternity hospital, "Mosselmash" have a similar way of formation.
Their correct spelling again depends on the student's ability to see the roots and understand them. lexical meaning.

at the junction of root and suffix

Double consonants -nn- And -ss- most often found in cases where the first letter, when parsing a word by composition, belongs to the root, and the second to the suffix. This is usually observed where there are suffixes in the composition. -stv-, -n-, -sk-, For example: lemon, moon, cast iron, Russian.

Double consonants at the root of the word at the junction of the root and the suffix are written in past tense verbs with a reflexive particle -sya-, For example: graze, rush.

Doubled consonants in a suffix

Errors in the spelling of doubled consonants in a suffix can be caused by the fact that there are many variations of their spelling, for example -enn-, -en-, -ann-, -an- and so on. The child needs not only to memorize the rule that regulates the process of competent writing, but also to be clearly aware of all the actions that he needs to perform.
Adjectives formed from nouns are written with double -nn- ( cranberry, dinner, sickly, windless but windy). Tin, wood, glass are exception words, and they are also written with a double consonant.

General rules

Double consonants in the root, prefix and suffix obey general rules their writing. For example, three or more identical letters are never written side by side, although the generally accepted rule requires this. It's about words like quarrel, three-ton, Odessa and others.

Words containing double consonants retain them in the process of word formation. For example: group - group - group, class - cool. But there is an exception to the rule: Anka, column, condensed milk.

Doubled consonants in the elementary school curriculum

After the children become familiar with the topic "Double consonants at the root of the word" (examples of them are given below), the students primary school learn how to use a spelling dictionary. The reference book is an example of the correct spelling of words with various spellings, including those with doubled consonants.

Schoolchildren may be offered exercises where necessary for given words, for example, such as quarrel, platform, gram, pick up related ones from the dictionary, writing them in one group.

In russian language -ss-, -dd-, -ll-, -rr-, -zhzh-, -pp-, -mm-, -bb- are used most often as double consonants in the root of the word. Grade 3 is studying a list of words for memorization, where all the letters listed are presented as doubled. The list contains more than a dozen such examples.

A large number of words with doubled consonants appeared in Russian through the process of borrowing. Sometimes it is useful to compare how their style looks in Russian and foreign versions. But this method must be treated very carefully, since foreign words, having entered the Russian language, may undergo certain changes. For example, class - "class", profession - "profession", But address - "address". This technique only in some cases helps to better remember how double consonants are written at the root of the word.

The transfer rule has its own characteristics, and it is also included in the program material. elementary school to study the rules of the Russian language. The result of work on the whole topic is the formation of the following skills in younger students:

  • choose the correct spelling
  • transpose words with letters of double consonants;
  • justify your choice using the learned rules and spelling dictionary.

To check the level of skill formation, tasks are offered where it is necessary to insert missing letters into words. The selection of material is such that not in all cases it is required to write a double consonant. Children should notice this and complete the task correctly.

When checking the ability to transfer words with a double consonant, it is necessary to offer their different structure in terms of the presence of parts, the number of syllables. It could be words like burns, cash desk, alley, I'll tell you and others.

Expanding on the Spelling of Doubled Consonants

As the child advances in mastering the laws of Russian spelling, the number of orthograms increases, where double consonants are used at the root of the word. also becomes more diverse. In addition, the lexical material becomes more complicated, on the example of which double consonants in the root of the word are studied. Grade 5 of the school curriculum can serve as proof of this.

In addition to adjectives, nouns, verbs, students are offered adverbs, participles, and participles to observe the spelling of doubled consonants. Excerpts from classical literature, oral folk art become material for the analysis of the spelling of words. Children get acquainted with these works in the classroom.

In addition, students should freely determine the place of a double consonant in a word. To form this skill, they are regularly offered to perform an exercise where it is necessary to distribute the words into groups depending on the location of the doubled consonant.

Children should be able to justify their choice, which is helped by the oral answers of schoolchildren with the formulation of rules, giving their own examples.

Double consonants at the root or after a prefix is ​​a simple topic. But some words include a voiced sound in oral speech, displaying not one, but two letters in the letter. Examples in which doubled consonants occur are set out in the article.

To justify those who do not have one hundred percent literacy (and they are the majority), it is worth saying that the speech used by Pushkin is one of the most difficult in the world. Therefore, spelling rules must be repeated from time to time. Consider the most common spelling mistakes

Double "g"

There are many words in the Russian language, the spelling of which does not correspond to any rule. So, the double "g" is written in the following words:

  • burning;
  • yeast;
  • rein;
  • buzz;
  • juniper.

But in the case of alternating sounds "zh" and "z" is written differently. For example, the verb "squeal" comes from the noun "scream". And therefore, despite the fact that doubled consonants are heard in oral speech, it is still written “zzh”.

Difficult words

Units of the language, called complex abbreviations, often raise doubts when writing. If the first part of a word ends with the letter that the second part begins with, double consonants occur.

  • maternity hospital;
  • head physician

These cases should not be confused with words formed from two parts, one of which includes doubled consonants:

  • gramophone record (gramophone record);
  • cavalry (horse army).

But if the adjective is formed from a stem in which there are doubled consonants, the above rule is observed. It must be followed when writing other parts of speech. The main condition is that the double consonant precedes the suffix. The following are examples of sentences containing words with double consonants.

  1. Gauls- these are the tribes that existed in the so-called Gallic period.
  2. His work was rated five points By five-point system.
  3. Hunnic bow - a weapon created by nomads who are known in history as Huns.
  4. After nine members left the project, it was no longer group, but a small small group.
  5. The postman used to use in speech diminutive forms: letter, telegram, parcel.

Exceptions

But there are lexical units formed from words with double consonants, but not falling under the rules given above. These exceptions must be remembered.

  • crystal, but crystal;
  • Finn, but Finnish;
  • column but column;
  • ton, but five tons.

Exceptions can also include derivatives of proper names.

  • In those distant times, she was not yet Alla Petrovna - a formidable and domineering woman, but stupid and naive Alcoy.
  • One of the characters in Furmanov's work was a girl named Anna, better known as Anka- machine gunner.
  • His name was Philip. And of all the works of classical literature, he most of all disliked Tolstoy's story " Filipok».

At the junction of prefix and root

In such cases, the spelling of words with double consonants is used. But this rule also has exceptions. In words such as call out or fake, the prefix ends with the letter that the root begins with.

Do not confuse the spelling of the verbs "succumb" and "succumb." In the first case, we are talking about an action that can be expressed as follows: "be influenced, agree", in the second - "go".

Words of foreign origin

The spelling of borrowings should be checked in a spelling dictionary. Or learn foreign languages. After all, words such as abbreviation, accommodation and application are of Latin origin. Studying is optional. Derivatives from many Latin words are found in modern English, German and French.

For those who do not want to spend time on grammar and phonetics foreign language, you need to remember the spelling of foreign words. The following are sentences in which there are borrowings with doubled consonants.

  1. Aggression often the result of alcohol poisoning.
  2. Symptoms acclimatization manifest differently in each person.
  3. In this store you can buy not only clothes, but also various accessories.
  4. Ammonia has a high level of toxicity.
  5. Finishing is a complex and laborious process.
  6. The method of replacing one object with another is called approximation.
  7. collegiateassessor, who lived next door, was a mysterious, secretive man.
  8. The witch brewed incense potions, prepared strange essences.
  9. There were many in the city heaps, to which visitors often took for real mountains.
  10. Representatives of the Russian intelligentsia in search of salvation were forced to leave their homes.

Borrowings with one consonant

There are a number of words of foreign origin in which there are no double consonants, but for some reason mistakes are often made in their spelling:

  • attribute;
  • balustrade;
  • dealer;
  • amateur;
  • impresario;
  • wolverine.

And, finally, the well-known word, in which there are double consonants in the root: quarrel. Of course, in a verb derived from it, it is not necessary to write three letters “c” (quarrel). Words formed according to this scheme can include only two consonants.

Russian language is a basic subject at school. But over the years, the skills acquired in childhood and adolescence are lost. In writing texts, people who seem to be educated often commit gross mistakes. Not everyone can answer the question of when it is necessary to write double consonants. And only a select few are gifted with the so-called innate sense of language. Therefore, the rules of the Russian language must be repeated throughout life.

All words of the Russian language consist of morphemes - significant parts of words. These include prefixes and suffixes. Roots are special morphemes that contain the semantics of a word. Endings are the formative part of the word. With the help of it, paradigms such as declension (for nouns) and conjugations (for verbs) are created.

In addition, it is thanks to inflection in the Russian language that there are such categories as gender and number.

Sometimes it happens that double consonants are formed at the junction of morphemes. For example, when the root morpheme ends with the same sound with which the suffix following it begins or the prefix ends with the same letter that begins the root. This is reflected in the letter by writing double letters, for example:

  • Support, stone, domain, tell, revolt, water, etc.

Double consonants are also written in compound words if the first contraction ends with the same letter that the second begins with:

  • Chief Physician, Moscow City Council, etc.

Note. In the first part of compound words, which is a stem that ends in a double consonant, only one consonant is written, for example: gra m record, gr P org, co n soldier.

In words formed from stems ending in two identical consonants, double consonants before the suffix are preserved, for example: ba ll- pyatiba ll ny, ha ll- ha ll bsky, gu nn- gu nn sky, compromise ss- compromise ss ny, gr pp a - gr pp ka, diagra mm a - diagram mm ka, program mm a - program mm ka, telegra mm a - telegram mm ka. The same is true for proper names, for example: Kanbe pp University of Ka nn Film Festival, Loza nn sky conference, more nn sk government, tulli nn ancient monuments and so on.

Exceptions. In some words, in this case, one consonant is written, for example: crista ll- krista l ny, fi nn- fi n sky, colo nn a - colo n ka, then nn a - five n ka, fi nn- fi n ka(usually double n pulls together into one n before suffix - to-a ), opera tt a - opera T ka; in the names of persons with the suffix - To , For example: A ll a - A l ka, A nn a - A n ka, Kiri ll- Kiri l ka, ri mm a - Ri m ka, sa centuries a - Ca V ka, Fili pp- Fili P ka, E mm a - E m ka.

Note. It is necessary to distinguish between the spelling of words like By d keep(console By- ) And By dd keep(console under- ). Wed: By d hold hands - by dd hold on in difficult times.

Note 2. In suffix - ess-a spelled two With (poet ss ah, steward ss uh, clown ss A), in the suffix - is-a one is written With (abbey With a, actress With ah, director With A).

In suffix - etta spelled two T, For example: aria tt a, opera tt ah, symphony tt A.
In a word generals ss imus spelled two With .

Special cases of using this spelling:

a) Combinations of HH and SS.

Double "n" and "s" are written when the root ends in "n" ("s"), and the suffix begins with the same letter:

  • With the suffix -n-: stone-ny (stone), long-ny (length), legal - ny (legal), den-but (day), etc .;
  • With the suffix -sk -: Russian (Rus), Arzamas (Arzamas);
  • With the suffix -stv-: art (but "skillful").

b) Combination of SS.

It is written in the past tense verbs, the stem of which ends in "s". When forming reflexive verbs:

  • Save yourself, carry on, save on.

c) HH combination.

It is written in suffixes -enn- (-onn-) of adjectives, which are formed from nouns:

  • Straw, cranberry, station, information, operational, lunch, etc.

Note 1. Exceptions: wood, tin, glass.

Note 2. The word "windy" is written with one "n", this is also an exception. However, in single-root words formed with the help of prefixes, according to the rule, a double “n” is written: “windless”, “leeward”, etc.

Double "n" is also spelled in the passive participles of the past tense, having dependent words with them:

  • Presentation at the seminar.
  • A memorized poem.

Double "n" is written in all adjectives that were formed from the passive participles of the past tense, if they have prefixes or end in -ovanny (-evanny):

  • selected stories, redone exercises, unspoken grievances.
  • a spoiled child, a spoiled child.

Note. Exceptions: forged, chewed.

Double "n" is written in the dictionary words "sacred", "desired", "unexpected", "unexpected", "unheard", "unseen", etc.

Double "n" is written in nouns with suffixes -ik, -its, -ost, as well as in adverbs in -o in cases where these parts of speech are formed from adjectives written with "nn". For example:

  • inadvertently (unintentionally), excitement (agitated), pupil (educated), root (indigenous), etc.

AND

1. Double and written in the roots of words in LJ and, dro LJ And, LJ enie, zhu LJ ahh, mo LJ evelnik and cognate with them. Wed: WHO and go(cart + burn) - WHO LJ eat(cart + burn), also WHO LJ enny.
