Sometimes we think about whether it is necessary to put a soft sign after hissing ones. Here are the rules for when not to do it and when it is strictly necessary to do it.
These rules are based on what part of speech it is, in what declension and what part of the word.
Soft sign after hissing - setting rule
Put a soft sign:
The soft sign after the sibilants must be written in feminine nouns if they are in the singular in the nominative and accusative cases
Example of words: night, gap, daughter, lie, thing, baldness.
Example in a sentence: The queen gave birth on the night of either a son or a daughter.
2. In verbs of the second person in the singular, subject to the present or future tense at the endings after the sibilants.
Example in a word: you will, you will, you cook, you remember, you believe, you will.
Examples in sentences: If you know, if you believe, then you will be with me and will not fall out of love soon.
Addition: If you add the ending -sya to these verbs, the soft sign is preserved. Example: coming back, straining, intending.
3. In verbssingular imperative in endings after sibilants.
Example in word: Cut! Eat! Hide!
Addition: If you add the ending -sya to these verbs, the soft sign is preserved. Hide! Don't fool around!
Examples in sentences: Vadik, don't fool around and hide!
4. In verbs that are in the plural and in the imperative mood before the endings - those - tes.
Example: smear - smear - smear.
Example in a sentence: Children! Don't cry!
5. In verbs of the indefinite person, including before the ending -sya.
Example of words: oven - bake, lie down - lie down.
Example in a sentence: These rivers take a long time to flow.
6. In adverbs, it is necessary to enter a soft sign after the hissing ones at the end of the word.
Example: Full, gallop, backhand, wide open.
Example in a sentence: He started the horse galloping and hacked the air with his sword.
Exceptions: Impossible to get married.
7. In particles with hissing endings: oh, oh, oh, oh, just.
Example of words: that is, just.
In the sentence: Look what a bully!
Why sometimes a soft sign is not written after hissing?
No need to write:
In masculine singular nouns, nominative case
Example: rook, kalach, stag, bream, knife.
Suggestion: A swift flew up to our window.
2. In nouns inplural and genitive.
Example: clouds, steep, shoulders, Grish, between, puddles.
Sample sentences: Sorry, no pears were served for breakfast today.
3. In short form adjectives.
Example: powerful, hot, good, flying, melodious, handsome.
Suggestion: He was good-looking and good-looking…
4. In pronouns with hissing at the end.
Examples: yours, ours.
Given the above, the spelling of the soft sign after the sibilants differs depending on many factors - part of speech, declension, number, as well as the presence of exceptions to the rules.
Primary teachers give their students rhyming versions of the rules for easier memorization.
