Predicate- this main member a sentence that usually agrees with the subject (in number, person or gender) and has a meaning expressed in questions: what does the subject do? what happens to him? what is he? what is he? who is he?

Examples of the predicate and the most common ways of expressing it:

goes rain(what does the subject do? the predicate is expressed by the conjugated verb).

To him boring (what happens to him? the predicate is expressed by a predicative adverb - the category of state).

He great (what is he? the predicate is expressed short adjective).

Alexey - teacher (who is he? the predicate is expressed by an animated noun).

Baikal is huge Lake (what is he? the predicate is expressed by an inanimate noun).

Types of predicates:

1. Simple verbal predicate.
2. Compound verb predicate.
3. Compound nominal predicate.

Simple verb predicate

A simple verbal predicate is a predicate expressed by one verb in the form of some mood (indicative mood; conditional mood, imperative mood):

Coming gloomy morning(indicative mood, present tense).
It has come gloomy morning(indicative mood, past tense).

Sergei will do to the theater school(indicative mood, future tense).
He gladly would leave to the village(conditional mood).
write down homework(imperative mood).

Other ways to express a simple verbal predicate:

1. Infinitive: Live - homeland serve.

2. Interjectional verb forms (truncated forms of a verb like bam, grab, jump): Each friend is quiet here sense girlfriend.

3. Phraseological turnover with the main word - a verb in conjugated form: Command won in the championship. He again fool around.

Other examples: touched a nerve, lost patience, got into a mess, beats the buckets, fell into doubt, dances to someone else's tune, came to the conclusion, became indignant, walks shaking, takes part, sharpens his folly, is an eyesore, raised the alarm, stabbed him without a knife, sucked from the finger, ordered to live long, put his teeth on the shelf, out of his mind, doused with contempt etc.

4. Verb in conjugated form + modal particle (yes, let, let, come on, come on, it was, as if, as if, as if, as if, exactly, hardly, almost, just, etc.):

Let's I I will go with you.
Let him leave with Father.
Yes, they will dream you have sweet dreams.
He was gone to the door, but suddenly has stopped.
In the room as if it smelled cinder.
He as if dumbfounded from fear.
He nearly died with grief.
He just didn't tumble trying to make the audience laugh.
He almost freaked out from happiness.

The following ways of expressing a simple verbal predicate require special attention:

1. Complex future tense form ( I will write; will sing etc.) is a simple verbal predicate.

2. FROM exactly, as if, as if, exactly, as if with the predicate - modal particles, not comparative conjunctions, so a comma is not placed in front of them (subject and predicate are never separated by a comma!).

3. modal particle It was denotes an action that began, but did not take place due to any reasons, unforeseen circumstances, and commas (unlike introductory words happens, happened with the value of regular repetition of action) is not highlighted. Wed: He was gone to the door, but suddenly stopped(part of the predicate) . - He , it used to be did not show up in the village for weeks(introductory word).

4. To distinguish a simple verbal predicate expressed by a phraseological unit from a compound nominal predicate, one should remember:

but) phraseologism can often be replaced with one word:

win a victory— win; to matter— to mean; give a promise— promise; to give an order— order and etc.;

b) in a simple verbal predicate-phraseological unit, the verb cannot be replaced by a bunch to be, but in a compound nominal predicate - you can. Wed: He hung up his nose (can't say: He was the nose; She sat tired — She was tired ( compound nominal predicate) ; He born happy — He was happy ( compound nominal predicate).

In speech (especially colloquial) there may be various kinds of complicated simple verbal predicates.

Complicated simple verb predicate is a combination of two verbs or a combination of a verb with different particles.

The most common among them are the following:

1) a combination of two verb forms with a particle So(Made me feel so good ! );

2) verb combination go with another verb in the same form ( I'll go and call mom);

3) verb combination take with another verb in the same form in conjunction with particles yes, yes and, and (I'll take here and leave tomorrow to the village; I'll take it and leave- these are not homogeneous predicates, but one complicated predicate);

4) combination of a verb with particles yes how, know (to yourself), well, so, to yourself (And Ivanushka know yourself hold on ; I so she screamed );

5) a combination of a verb with a single-root form of an adverbial type ( He is her eats; She revmya roars );

6) a combination of two single-root verbs and a particle not between them, with the modal impossibility value: We can't wait spring; Breathe not inhale wonderful mountain air;

7) combination of the infinitive with the personal form of the same verb, which is preceded by a particle not, to strengthen the negative value of the predicate: Myself work does not work , and interferes with others;

8) turnover combination only u do that followed by a verb in the same form to indicate the intensity of the action: He only does what he draws ;

9) repetition of the predicate to indicate the duration of the action: I'm going, I'm going in an open field.

Secondary members of the sentence

Definition

Definition - a minor member of the sentence, which means object sign and answer questions Which? Whose? Definitions depend on the members of the sentence, expressed by nouns, pronouns (defined words). In a sentence, they can be in front of the word being defined - agreed - or after it - inconsistent. This is the direct word order in a sentence. If agreed definitions take a position after the word being defined, and inconsistent definitions before the word being defined, the word order changes (indirect word order is called inversion). Inversion serves to highlight with the help of intonation (in writing such definitions are most often distinguished by commas, less often by a dash) important members of the sentence, enhances the emotional coloring of speech, serves as one of the means of connecting words in a sentence (see table)

Place of the defined word and definitions in the sentence

Direct word order
Agreed Definition	Agreed Definition		Defined word	Inconsistent definition

Predicate types

Simple verb predicate

TO simple verb also include predicates that do not have a formal indicator of mood, tense and grammatical subordination to the subject. These are predicates expressed:

truncated verb forms: sense, grab, bam, etc. ...Easier shadow Tatyana jump to other passages, from the porch to the yard... (A.S. Pushkin); And you, madam, a little out of bed jump, with a man! with the young! (A.S. Griboyedov); ... And Prince Gvidon from the shore with a sad soul accompanies their long-distance run; look- a white swan swims over flowing waters. (A.S. Pushkin); I hurry here grab, touched the threshold with his foot and stretched out to his full height. (A.S. Griboyedov); But the princess in both hands grab- caught. (A.S. Pushkin);

infinitive in the meaning of the indicative mood: And the queen laugh, and shoulders shake, And wink with eyes, and snap fingers, and twirl, akimbo, proudly looking in the mirror. (A.S. Pushkin)

compound future tense of the verb: I am tomorrow Will work(this is a simple verb predicate).

phraseological combinations with varying degrees of cohesion of the parts, since they have a single integral meaning (cf .: lost his temper - got angry). For example: touched a nerve, got out of patience, got into a mess, beats the buckets, fell into doubt, dances to someone else's tune, came to the conclusion, became indignant, walks shaking, takes part, sharpens his folly, is an eyesore, raised the alarm, without a knife stabbed, sucked out of a finger, ordered to live long, put his teeth on the shelf, out of his mind, doused with contempt, etc.

a combination of two verbs or a combination of a verb with different particles. This includes:
1. A combination of two verbs in the same form, of which the first indicates the action, and the second - the purpose of this action: I will go for a walk in the garden; Sit down and write a letter to your mother.
2. Connection with the help of unions and, yes, yes, and take the form of the verb and the same form of another verb to denote an arbitrary action due to the personal whim of the subject: I will take and do vice versa; He took it and left at all.
3. A combination of two single-root verbs and a particle not between them, with the modal meaning of impossibility: We can't wait spring; Breathe not inhale wonderful mountain air.
4. The combination of the infinitive with the personal form of the same verb, which is preceded by the particle not, to enhance the negative meaning of the predicate: Sam work does not work and interferes with others.
5. The combination of turnover only and do (doing, doing, etc.), which is followed by a verb in the same form to indicate the intensity of the action: He only does what he draws.
6. Repetition of the predicate to indicate the duration of the action: I'm going, I'm going in an open field.
7. Repetition of a predicate with an intensifying particle so to indicate an action that has been fully implemented: That's really it sang so sang.
8. The combination of the verb with the particle know or know yourself to denote an action that is performed despite obstacles: And he know yourself laughing.

It happens that in simple verbal predicates verbal forms of one mood are used in the meaning of another; then there are additional semantic shades. For example, in the sentence She does not notice him, as he don't fight, though die(A.S. Pushkin) the form of the imperative mood is used in the meaning of the indicative (cf. no matter how he fought), but with an additional meaning of the conditional (cf. no matter how he fought).
In the sentence ... Leg in the stirrup and run around on a greyhound stallion; autumn wind blow even from the front, even from the rear (A.S. Griboedov), the imperative mood in the meaning of the indicative creates an additional shade of possibility (the wind can blow from anywhere - it will not interfere with anything).

Compound verb predicate

A compound verb predicate consists of an auxiliary verb and a verb in an indefinite form (in the infinitive). The main lexical meaning is expressed by the verb in the infinitive, and the auxiliary verb expresses the general grammatical meanings of mood, tense, person, as well as additional meanings.

In a compound verbal predicate, auxiliary verbs of two types can be used:

phase verbs, denoting the beginning, continuation or end of the action:

start, start, become, be accepted (in the meaning of “begin”), continue, finish, stop-stop, quit-quit (in the meaning of “end”.

Oh my god! What will speak Princess Marya Alexevna! (A.S. Griboyedov);

modal verbs denoting intention, will, ability, predisposition, necessity, desirability, ability, predisposition, emotional evaluation of the action, etc.:

want, wish, be able, be able, intend, try, try, refuse, contrive, unlearn, be able to, prepare, dream, hope, be afraid, prepare, strive, decide, count, assume, get used to, hasten, be shy, endure, love, hate, fear, fear, be ashamed, set a goal, burn with desire, have honor, have an intention, make a promise, have a habit, etc.

He's nice knows how to laugh everyone. With him not swept away I die uh, you have ask, on you take a look. We, Alexei Stepanych, with you failed to say two words. Ah, Chatsky! love you are all jokes dress... (A.S. Griboyedov) Chichikov, as we have seen, made up his mind at all don't stand on ceremony... I thought it was for the night guess on the cards after the prayer... (N.V. Gogol) But why with a rhymer to wander across the wide world in defiance of the elements and the mind so I want to and at the poet's hour of death? I have done so little for the future, but I only yearn for the future and don't want to start first... (A.A. Tarkovsky)

Modal meaning can express And some short adjectives and participles, adverbs (state category words), nouns: glad, must, ready, obligated, capable, forced, necessary, possible, impossible, master (meaning "can, I can"), able, able, etc.

Molchalin for others himself ready to forget. She did not give birth, but, according to my calculation, should give birth. And you glorify this glad? After all need to well depend from others. Not a craftswoman (meaning "I can't") I'm a regiment making a difference. (A.S. Griboyedov)
In this case grammatical meaning mood and tense expresses the linking verb to be in desired form, so that the predicate consists of 3 words: 1) bundles; 2) an auxiliary component expressed by a short adjective or participle, adverb, noun; 3) a verb in an indefinite form (the absence of a link, as in the examples above, indicates the present tense of the indicative mood; it is more correct to say that in such sentences the link is zero). Entering the hall, Chichikov had for a minute screw up eyes, because the shine from candles, lamps and ladies' dresses was terrible. ... Alcides, closing his eyes and opening his mouth, was ready to sob in the most miserable way, but, feeling that it was easy could have lost dishes, brought his mouth to its former position and began to gnaw a mutton bone with tears. Fetinya, as you can see, was a whipper e feathers. The coachman, noticing that one of them was big hunter become on the heels, whipped him with a whip ... (N.V. Gogol)
The compound verb predicate may have a complicated form; in this case, in addition to the infinitive of the main verb, the infinitive of the auxiliary verb is used: In my years should not dare your judgment have. (A.S. Griboyedov)

How to determine the syntactic role of the infinitive?

Not every combination of a conjugated verb with an infinitive is a compound verbal predicate. In order for such a combination to be a compound verbal predicate, several conditions must be met:

The auxiliary verb must be lexically ambiguous, that is, it alone (without the infinitive) is not enough to understand what the sentence is about: I started - what should I do? (there is no answer, the verb is lexically ambiguous); I want what to do? (there is no answer either, the verb is lexically ambiguous).

If in the combination “verb + infinitive” the verb is full-valued, then it alone is a simple verbal predicate, and the infinitive is a secondary member of the sentence: She (what did she do?) sat down (for what purpose?) to rest (sat down is a full-valued verb, which means that this simple verb predicate, and infinitiverelax- it's a goal circumstance).

The action of the infinitive must refer to the subject (this is the subject infinitive). If the action of the infinitive refers to another member of the sentence (objective infinitive), then the infinitive is not part of the predicate, but is a secondary member: I want to sing (I want to sing - a compound verb predicate, because I want - I will sing - I will). I asked her to sing (asked - a simple verb predicate, infinitivesing- addition, because I asked - I will sing - she).

The infinitive can be a definition if it refers to a noun and answers the question which one? infinitive as a definition).

The predicates expressed by the complex form of the future tense of the verb are not compound verbal predicates: We we will remember and in the cold of Lethe, that the earth cost us ten heavens. (O.E. Mandelstam) (this is a simple verbal predicate).

Compound nominal predicate

In a compound nominal predicate, there is a verb connective that expresses the grammatical meaning, and the main (nominal) component is words or phrases different parts speeches (most often - nouns or adjectives), which contain the lexical meaning of the predicate.

As a link in a compound nominal predicate, the verb to be in the form of some mood is most often used. He is in Rome would be Brutus, in Athens - Pericles(A.S. Pushkin) - conditional. incl. In a harsh lot be stubborn, be gloomy,poor And bent...(N.S. Gumilyov) - command. incl. His voice was a song fire and earth ... (N.S. Gumilyov) - will express. incl., past temp. destructive will be crushed, overturned fragments of plates ... (N.S. Gumilyov) - will express. incl., bud. temp.
In the present tense, the verb to be is usually absent; in other words, the link is zero: Not sinful he is nothing, you are a hundred times more sinful. Liar is he, gambler, thief. (A.S. Griboyedov) However, there is also a copula in the present tense of the verb to be: Daughter of hell, malice eat sodetel countless cruel misfortunes. (V.A. Zhukovsky) Thought spoken there is a lie. (F.I. Tyutchev)

In a compound nominal predicate other linking verbs can be used: appear, stay, become, become, become, be considered, be called, seem, appear, appear, etc .; they differ in meaning. Our estate was called a farm, - farm Kamenka, - main estate our was considered Zadonsk, where my father often and for a long time left, and on the farm there was little, domestic small.
All in all more striking in the city of wax.
Then my childhood life becomes more diverse. (I.A. Bunin)
have become our generals funny, loose, well-fed, white. Atrocities are large and serious often are called brilliant... Atrocities are small and comic are called shameful... (M.E. Saltykov-Shchedrin) AND seems at all not difficult, whitening in the thicket of emerald, the road will not say where. (A.A. Akhmatova)

The nominal part of the compound nominal predicate is usually

short adjectives and participles- Green house painted(participle) in the form of a grove. Myself fat(adjective), its artists skinny(adjective) (A.S. Griboyedov);

nouns in the nominative or instrumental case- Dead person was venerable chamberlain.(A.S. Griboyedov) Marriage to us it will be flour.(A.S. Pushkin) lace, stone, be And become a web... (O.E. Mandelstam);

full names adjectives in the nominative or instrumental case - After all crazy your father... (A.S. Griboedov) Am I real and will death really come? At such moments and air to me it seems kareem... (O.E. Mandelstam) I I won't more young. (S.A. Yesenin);

adjectives in the comparative or superlative degree- Ah, evil tongues scarier pistol. Well, constant taste in husbands most expensive! (A.S. Griboyedov)

In addition, the nominal part of the predicate can be expressed by prepositional-case forms of the noun- And I'm in front of her in unpaid debt.(A.A. Tarkovsky) Mind with heart out of tune.(A.S. Griboyedov); pronoun- Like all Moscow, your father such is... my custom such: signed, so off your shoulders. (A.S. Griboyedov); adverb- After all, I told her a few akin.(A.S. Griboyedov); infinitive- His joy is in the woods wander behind the animals. (V.A. Zhukovsky); phraseological turn- He out of your mind. Dearest! You not at ease.(A.S. Griboyedov)
The nominal part can be expressed by a phrase, the main lexical meaning of which is contained not in the main, but in the dependent word. All the old ladies people are angry. He conspicuous person... My husband - lovely husband... Ball good thing, bondage is bitter. (A.S. Griboyedov)
The nominal part can include unions like, as if, as if, etc., introducing comparisons into the predicate. Your every verse - like a bowl poison, What's up burned by sin. (A.A. Tarkovsky)

It can be difficult to correctly determine the boundaries of the predicate and its form if the sentence contains the verb to be in conjugated form. This verb can be not only a link in a compound nominal predicate. If it is used in the sense of "to be", "to be", "to occur", then it is a simple verbal predicate in the sentence. Yesterday was ball, and tomorrow will two. (A.S. Griboyedov) Left was gloomy forest, to the right - the Yenisei. (N.A. Nekrasov) Here were relatives of those who have gone to where I myself was in a hurry. (N.A. Nekrasov)

PREDICATE

SIMPLE VERB PREDICT
Predicate- this is the main member of the sentence, which usually agrees with the subject (in number, person or gender) and has a meaning expressed in questions: what does the subject do? what happens to him? what is he? what is he? who is he?

The predicate expresses the grammatical meaning of one of the moods (indicative mood - present, past, future tense; conditional mood, imperative mood).

^ Types of predicates:

Simple verbal predicate - PGS

Compound verbal predicate - GHS

Compound nominal predicate - SIS

A simple verbal predicate (PGS) can be expressed in one word and more than one word.

1 . Verb in the form of any mood	Coming gloomymorning . It has come gloomymorning. Sergei will do to the theater school. He with pleasurewould leave to the village. write down homework.
2 . Independent infinitive	Live - homelandserve.
3 . Interjectional verb forms (truncated forms of a verb like bam, grab, jump )	Girlfriend everyone here is quietsense girlfriend.
4. Phraseological turnover with the main word - a verb in conjugated form	Command won in the championship. He againchasing a quitter .
5 . Conjugated verb + modal particle ( yes, let, let, let's, let's, it was like, like, like, like, exactly, hardly, almost, just and etc.)	Let's I I will go with you. Let him leave with Father. Yes, they will dream you are sweetdreams . He was gone to the door, but suddenly stopped. In the roomas if it smelled cinder. He as if dumbfounded from fear. He nearly died with grief. He just didn't tumble trying to make the audience laugh. He almost freaked out from happiness.

!!! NOTE!

1) Form of complex future tense ( I will write; will sing etc.) is a simple verbal predicate;

2) as if, as if, as if, exactly, as if with the predicate - modal particles, not comparative conjunctions, therefore do not put a comma before them(subject and predicate are never separated by a comma!);

3) modal particle It was denotes an action that has begun, but not completed due to any reasons, unforeseen circumstances, and commas(unlike introductory words, it happens, it happened with the meaning of regular repetition of the action) not highlighted.

Wed: ^ He used to not appear in the village for weeks;

4) in order to distinguish a simple verbal predicate, expressed by a phraseological unit, from a compound nominal predicate, one should remember:

a) phraseologism often can be replaced with one word:

to win - win; to have meaning - to mean; make a promise - make a promise give an order - order, etc .;

b) in a simple verbal predicate-phraseologism, the verb cannot be replaced by a connective to be, but in a compound nominal predicate it can.

Wed: ^ He hung his nose (PGS) - it is impossible: He was a nose; She sat tired (SIS) - She was tired; He was born happy (HIS) - He was happy.

NOTE

In speech (especially colloquial) there may be various kinds of complicated simple verb predicates with expressive meaning. The most common among them are the following:
1) a combination of two verb forms with a particle so (I made you so happy!);

2) verb combination go with another verb in the same form (I'll go call my mother);

3) verb combination take with another verb in the same form in conjunction with particles yes, yes and, and (I'll take it and leave tomorrow for the village; I'll take it and leave- these are not homogeneous predicates (!), but one; and in this case - a particle, not a union);

4) combination of a verb with particles yes how, know (to yourself), well, so, to yourself (And Ivanushka, know yourself, hold on; I cried out like that);

5) a combination of a verb with a single-root form of an adverbial type (He eats her; she roars roaringly).
^ Complicated types of simple verbal predicate

^ Sample parsing

MyAffairs go uphill .

They go uphill - simple verbal predicate; expressed by a verbal phraseological unit in the present tense of the indicative mood.

to forget about everything.

^ COMPOSITE VERB PREDICT
Compound predicates- these are predicates in which the lexical meaning and grammatical meaning (time and mood) are expressed in different words. Lexical meaning expressed in the main part, andgrammatical meaning (time and inclination) - in the auxiliary part.

Wed: Hesang (PGS). - Hestarted singing (GHS)

The compound verb predicate (CGS) consists of two parts:

but) auxiliary part(verb in conjugated form) expresses grammatical meaning (time and mood);

b) main part(indefinite form of the verb - infinitive) expresses lexical meaning.

^ GHS = auxiliary verb + infinitive

For example: I started to sing; I want to sing; I'm afraid to sing.

However, not every combination of a conjugated verb with an infinitive is a compound verbal predicate! In order for such a combination to be a compound verbal predicate, two conditions:

The auxiliary verb must be lexically ambiguous, that is, it alone (without the infinitive) is not enough to understand what the sentence is about.

Wed: I started - what to do?; I want what to do?
If in the combination "verb + infinitive" significant verb , then he alone is a simple verbal predicate, and the infinitive is a secondary member of the sentence.

Wed .: She sat down (for what purpose?) to rest.
The action of the infinitive must refer to the subject (this is the subject infinitive). If the action of the infinitive refers to another member of the sentence (objective infinitive), then the infinitive is not part of the predicate, but is a minor member.

1. I want to sing. I want to sing compound verb predicate (I want - I, I will sing - I).

2. I asked her to sing. Requested- simple verbal predicate , sing - addition (asked - I asked(about what?) her, she will sing).

MEANING	^ TYPICAL VERBS AND PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS	EXAMPLES
1. Phase (beginning, continuation, end of action)	Start, become, start off, continue, finish, stay, stop, quit, stop, etc.	^ Hebegan to prepare to departure. Hecontinued to prepare to departure. Hefinished writing book.
2. Modal meaning (necessity, desirability, ability, predisposition, emotional evaluation of the action, etc.)	To be able, to be able, to wish, to want, to dream, to intend, to refuse, to try, to try, to count, to be able, to contrive, to try, to assume, to get used to, to hasten, to be shy, to endure, to love, to hate, to be afraid, to fear, to be cowardly, to be ashamed, to set a goal , burn with desire, have honor, etc.	II can sing . II want to sing . Iafraid to sing . II like to sing . Iashamed to sing . II hope to sing this aria.

Plan for parsing a compound verb predicate

1. 
   Specify the type of predicate.
2. 
   Indicate how the main part is expressed (subjective infinitive); what is the meaning of the auxiliary part (phase, modal) and what form of the verb it is expressed.

Sample parsing

Hare started running from a hunter.
Started to run - compound verb predicate. The main part (to run) is expressed by the subjective infinitive. The auxiliary part (started) has a phase meaning and is expressed by the verb in the past tense of the indicative mood.

^ COMPOSITE NOMINAL PREDICT
Compound nominal predicate (CIS) consists of two parts:

but) auxiliary part – bundle(verb in conjugated form) expresses grammatical meaning (time and inclination);

b) main part - the nominal part (name, adverb) expresses lexical meaning.

SIS \u003d link + nominal part

For example: He was a doctor; He became a doctor; He was sick; He was sick; He was wounded; He came first.
^ TYPES OF CONNECTING VERBS

Link type by value	Typical verbs	Examples
1. Grammatical link - expresses only grammatical meaning (time, mood), has no lexical meaning.	Verbs to be, to be. Link in present tense to be usually stands in the zero form ("zero copula"): the absence of a copula indicates the present tense of the indicative mood.	^ Hewas a doctor . Hewill be a doctor . Hedoctor . Hewas sick . Hewill be healthy . Hesick . Heis sick . Lyricseat the highestmanifestation art.
2. Semi-significant copula - not only expresses the grammatical meaning, but also introduces additional shades into the lexical meaning of the predicate, but cannot be an independent predicate (in that meaning).	a) the emergence or development of a sign: become, become, become, become; b) preservation of the sign: stay; c) manifestation, detection of a sign: to be, to be; d) assessment of the sign from the point of view of reality: to appear, to appear, to be presented, to be considered, to be known; e) the name of the sign: to be called, to be called, to be revered.	^ Hebecame ill . Hestayed sick . Hebeen sick every autumn. Heturned out to be sick . Heconsidered sick . Heseemed sick . Heis sick . Hereputed to be sick . Themcalled sick.
3. Significant link - a verb with a full lexical meaning (one can act as a predicate).	a) Verbs of position in space: sit, lie, stand; b) verbs of motion: go, come, return, wander; c) state verbs: live, work, be born, die.	^ Shesat tired . Heleft angry . Hereturned frustrated. Helived as a hermit . Heborn happy. Hedied a hero .

Verb to be can act as an independent simple verbal predicate in sentences with the meaning of being or having:

^ He had three sons; He had a lot of money.

Verbs become, becomes, turn out etc. can also be independent simple verbal predicates, but in a different meaning:

^ He ended up in the center of the city; He stood against the wall.

The most difficult to analyze are compound nominal predicates with a significant copula, because usually such verbs are independent predicates. (cf .: He was sitting at the window). If the verb becomes a link, then its meaning is less important than the meaning of the name associated with the verb (He was sitting tired; it is more important that he was tired than that he was sitting rather than standing or lying down.)

To combination "significant verb + name" was a compound nominal predicate, the following conditions must be met:

• 
  the significant verb can be replaced by the grammatical connective be:

^ He sat tired - He was tired; He was born happy - He was happy; He came first - He was first;

• 
  the link can be made null:

^ He sat tired - He is tired; He was born happy - He is happy; He came first - He is the first.

If the verb has dependent forms full adjective, participle, ordinal number (answers the question which one?), then it is always a compound nominal predicate (sit tired, left upset, came first). The parts of such a compound nominal predicate are not separated by commas!

!!! NOTE!

1) Even if the predicate consists of one word - a name or an adverb (with zero bond) , it is always a compound nominal predicate;

2) short adjectives and participles are always part of a compound nominal predicate ;

3) nominative and instrumental cases - the main case forms of the nominal part of the predicate;

4) the nominal part of the predicate can be expressed whole phrase in the same cases as the subject.
The most common mistakes when parsing a compound nominal predicate :

1. The short form of the adjective and especially the participle is taken as a verb, so the predicate is mistakenly considered a simple verb. In order not to be mistaken, put the predicate in the past tense: the suffix -l appears in the verb, and the short adjective or participle will have a bunch was (was, was, were).

For example:

^ He is sick (PGS). - He was sick;

He is sick (SIS). - He was sick;

City taken (SIS). The city has been taken.

2. The short adjective of the middle gender (the nominal part of the predicate) is confused with the adverb in -o. In order not to be mistaken, pay attention to the form of the subject:

If there is no subject (the sentence is one-part), then the nominal part of the predicate is an adverb.

^ Wed: The sea is calm;

If the subject is an infinitive, a feminine noun, male, noun in plural, then the nominal part of the predicate is an adverb:

^ Living is good; Life is good; Children are good;

If the subject is a neuter noun, change the number of the subject or substitute another subject - a feminine or masculine noun: the form of the adverb will not change; the ending of the short adjective will change; you can also replace the short adjective with a full one.

^ Compare: The sea is calm (SIS; the nominal part is expressed by a short adjective). - The river is calm; The seas are calm; The sea is calm).

3. The nominal part of the predicate, expressed full adjective, participle, ordinal number, are mistakenly parsed as a minor member - a definition. In order not to be mistaken, pay attention to the word from which the question is raised what? to the given name.

If the question is posed from the subject or object, then this is the definition.

Wed: she hasIt was red (what?)the dress ; red - definition.

If the question is what? is placed from the verb, then this is the nominal part of the predicate.

^ Compare: Her dressIt was (which?)red ; red is the nominal part of the predicate.

If there is no verb in the sentence, then pay attention to the word order:

• 
  definition usually comes before the subject noun.

^ Compare: She has a red dress;

• 
  nominal part of the predicate usually comes after the subject noun.

Cf .: Her dress is red.

4 . The nominal part of the predicate, expressed by a noun, a pronoun in the nominative case, is often confused with the subject. It is especially difficult to distinguish between the subject and the predicate if both members are expressed in the nominative case.

To distinguish between subject and predicate expressed in the nominative case, consider the following:

The subject usually precedes the verb:

^ Moscow is the capital of Russia; The capital of Russia is Moscow.

However, in Russian, the predicate can also precede the subject.

Compare: Good man Ivan Ivanovich;

The demonstrative particle stands or can be placed before the predicate:

^ Moscow is the capital of Russia; Moscow is the capital of Russia; Ivan Ivanovich is a good person.

Note that in sentences like: It's good; This is my brother – this is a subject expressed by a demonstrative pronoun in the nominative case;

The subject can only be expressed in the nominative case; the predicate has two main case forms - the nominative and instrumental cases. If you put a link in a sentence to be past tense ( was, was, was, were ) or a bunch of appear, then the form of the nominative case of the predicate will change to the form of the instrumental, and for the subject it will remain the same.

^ Compare: Moscow was the capital of Russia; Moscow is the capital of Russia; Ivan Ivanovich was a good man; Ivan Ivanovich is a good person.

Plan for parsing a compound nominal predicate

1. 
   Specify the type of predicate.
2. 
   Indicate how the nominal part is expressed, in what form the linking verb is.

Sample parsing

A life - thisOkay .
Good - compound nominal predicate. The nominal part is well expressed by the adverb; the grammatical link to be is in the zero form; zero connective indicates the present tense of the indicative mood.
I came first .
Came first - compound nominal predicate. The nominal part of the first is expressed by the ordinal number in the nominative case; the significant copula came is expressed by the verb in the past tense of the indicative mood.
^ Thisboy medium height .
Medium height - compound nominal predicate. The nominal part of the average height is expressed as a whole phrase with the main word - a noun in the genitive case; the grammatical link to be is in the zero form; zero connective indicates the present tense of the indicative mood.
