What personal ending should be written for this or that part of speech? This question often arises among schoolchildren, but only if the last syllable of a word is in an unstressed position. After all, it is in such situations that it is very difficult to hear the letter that should be written at the end. This is especially true for verbs.
General information
This or that personal ending of verbs depends entirely on what conjugation the given word belongs to. Knowing how to correctly identify it, you will never ask such a question again.
Personal ending of stressed verbs
With the stressed endings of (personal) verbs, everything is always clear. After all, a letter in this position is heard as clearly as possible and is a test. Here are a few examples: watch, boil, create, etc. As you can see, all the endings of these words are stressed, that is, they are written exactly the same as they are heard (pronounced).
Spelling of unstressed personal verb endings
In the event that the endings of verbs are in an unstressed position, then it becomes problematic to determine the correct spelling of a particular letter. That is why you need to refer to the relevant rule. It says that all verbs in Russian belong either to the first conjugation or to the second.
First conjugation
All infinitive verbs ending in -ot, -at, -et, -yat, -yt and –ut belong to the 1st conjugation: melt, dig, get wet, etc. The personal ending of these words, standing in an unstressed position, has the letter "e".
Let's give an example: melt, melt, dig, dig, dig, get wet, get wet, get wet, get wet, melt, etc. However, in the 3rd person plural. number verbs of the 1st conjugation have the following endings: -ut or -yut. For example, they dig, get wet, melt, etc.
Second conjugation
All verbs in the infinitive and ending in -it should be attributed to the 2nd conjugation: saw, be proud, pray, etc. The personal endings of these unstressed words have the letter "i".
Let's give an example: sawing, sawing, sawing, sawing, proud, proud, pray, pray, pray, etc. However, in the 3rd person plural. number verbs of the 2nd conjugation have the following endings: -at or -yat. For example: they saw, they are proud, they pray, etc.
Exceptions to the rule
Now you know which vowels in the personal endings of verbs should be written if they are in an unstressed position. This only requiresdetermine the conjugation by putting this part of speech in an indefinite form. However, this rule has its exceptions. Consider them in more detail:
- Shave, lay. Despite the fact that these words end with -it, they should still be assigned to the 1st conjugation, since this is an exception. Accordingly, their personal endings will have the vowel "e" (-yut, -ut). Let's give an example: you lay, lay, lay, shave, shave, shave, shave, lay, etc.
- Tolerate, offend, see, depend, look, twirl, hate, breathe, hear, drive, hold. Despite the fact that these words have -et and -at at the end, they still belong to the second conjugation, since this is an exception. Accordingly, their personal endings will have the vowel "i" (-yat, -at). Let's give an example: offend, see, depend, look, twirl, hate, breathe, drive, hold, etc.
Exception words should be memorized and memorized, as many students make mistakes in them.
Miscellaneous words
Knowing the spelling of unstressed personal endings of verbs, you can quickly and easily compose a competent text. However, it should be noted that in the school curriculum of the discipline "Russian Language" special attention is paid not only to conjugations and exception words, but also to such lexical units that are heterogeneously conjugated. These include the following: want, run. Why are they so called? The fact is that in different faces these words can have as the ending of the firstconjugation, and second:
- he runs, he wants;
- you run, you want;
- I run, I want;
- they run, they want;
- you run, you want;
- we run, we want.
Summarize
To determine one or another spelling of personal endings of verbs, it is recommended to follow the scheme described below:
- Determine the position of the verb ending (stressed or unstressed). If in shock, then it should not be checked. If unstressed, continue analysis.
- Put the verb into the infinitive (or the so-called indefinite form), and then check its ending. If the word ends in -it, then this is the second conjugation. Therefore, it is necessary to write the letter "i" at the end (in the 3rd person plural - -at or -yat). Otherwise, it is necessary to continue the reasoning.
- It is required to check if the given verb is included in the list of exclusion words with -at or –et. If it is included, then it also belongs to the second conjugation, that is, “and” should be written at the end. If not included, then it is a verb of the first conjugation. At the end of it, you should write "e" (in the 3rd person plural we write -yut or -ut).
