Spelling n and nn in participles

1. In the full forms of the passive participles of the past tense, formed from the perfect form (both prefixed and non-prefixed), it is written nn, for example: bought, corrected, named, paired, cut, solved, dried, abandoned, captive, given, forced, punished, worked out, built in, etc.

Exceptions: with one n verbal adjectives (formed from the perfect form) are written that have completely lost touch with participles, which are part of stable combinations, for example: finished man, forgiven Sunday, named brother, planted father.

Note 1. The above passive participles can also be used as an adjective, but this does not affect their spelling, for example: a seasoned person (with restraint), this case (this particular one), an interested conversation (of interest), an exhausted old man (very tired).

2. In verbal adjectives formed from non-prefixed imperfective verbs, one is written n, for example: straightened, dried, fried, boiled, soaked, boiled, ironed, forged, mowed, sheared, washed, broken, cobbled, wicker, laden, melted, frozen, and also wounded (although it is formed from the two-species verb to hurt). With one n the adjective clever is written.

Exceptions: With two n verbal adjectives are written, formed from non-prefixed imperfective verbs: seen, seen, done, desired, heard, read, unexpected, unexpected.

Note 1. The above verbal adjectives, in the presence of dependent words, go into the category of participles and are written with two n, for example: cobbled streets, wagons loaded with timber, a fighter wounded in the leg, a boy cut by a hairdresser.

Note 2. With two n verbal adjectives are written, formed from unprefixed imperfective verbs with suffixes -ovan (-yovan), for example: spoiled, risky, uprooted, lined. In verbal adjectives forged, chewed combinations ov (s) are part of the root, not the suffix.

3. The presence of a particle does not affect the spelling of passive participles and verbal adjectives not-, for example: unresolved problems, disinterested persons, uncharted territory; untrodden paths, unpainted wall, uninvited guest, unmowed meadow.

4. Distinguishing between passive participles and adjectives formed from them (thereby clarifying the issue of writing nn-n) is sometimes produced not on a formal basis, but on a semantic one. For example, in the sentence Being wounded, the soldier remained in the ranks, the word wounded is a participle and is written with two n, despite the absence of a prefix and explanatory words with it: it retains the verbal meaning.

Note 1. In the combinations ironed-over-ironed trousers, patched-patched fur coat, worn-worn suit, washed-washed linen, read-re-read book, darned-darned stockings, etc., both words, for the sake of uniformity, should be written with one n. In addition, the second part of complex formations, despite the fact that it is formed from perfective verbs, obeys the word as a whole, which has the meaning of an adjective.

Note 2. The spelling of verbal adjectives also does not change in compound words, for example: one-colored, whole-cut, homespun, gold-forged, little-used, little-worn, little-worn, little-salted, finely crushed, freshly slaked, fresh-frozen, etc. (compare with similar adjectives in which the second part of the compound word formed from the prefixed verb: smooth-colored, lightly trodden, fresh-frozen, etc.).

5. In nouns formed from passive participles and verbal adjectives, two n or one n according to the generating basis, for example:

• 1) dowry, pupil, tributary, chosen one, priest, protege, drowned man;

2) dumplings, smoked meats, ice cream, martyr, worker, student.

6. In adverbs formed from verbal adjectives, so many n, how many adjectives are in full forms, for example: to smile artificially, to appear unexpectedly, to explain confusedly.

7. In short forms of passive participles, unlike full participles, one is always written n, in short forms of verbal adjectives, so many are written n how many in full forms. Wed:

The democratic public is agitated (participle: agitated) by reports of inter-ethnic clashes. - The performance of the actor was heartfelt and excited (adjective: full of excitement).

Many of them were brought near to the court and exalted (participle: they were exalted). - Their ideals and aspirations were lofty (adjective: noble and deep).

Their children are brought up (participle: they were brought up) in the spirit of progressive ideas. - The manners of this girl indicate that she is tactful and well-mannered (adjective: able to behave well).

Sometimes simple questions are artificially confused (participle: they were confused). - The plots of these works are complex and intricate (adjective: difficult to understand).

You are always lucky, you seem to be spoiled (participle: you have been spoiled) by fate. - With improper upbringing, children are usually capricious and spoiled (adjective: spoiled by pampering, capricious, pampered).

The scope of work was limited (participle: they were limited) by the allocated funds. - Its capabilities are limited (adjective: small).

The doctors were preoccupied (participle: they were preoccupied) with the condition of the patient. - The storm was intensifying and the faces of the sailors were serious and preoccupied (adjective: restless).

The court did not see corpus delicti in this case, and the accused were acquitted (participle: they were acquitted). - Extraordinary measures under these conditions were necessary and fully justified (adjective: having an explanation).

All options for further play by the chess player are thoroughly thought out (participle: he thought them out). - The answers of the examiners were meaningful and thoughtful (adjective: reasonable, justified).

Note 1. Some verbal adjectives in compound words are written in full form with two n, and in short - with one n, for example: generally recognized superiority - superiority is generally recognized, fresh frozen berries - fresh frozen berries.

Note 2. In some verbal adjectives, double spelling is allowed in a short form, depending on the meaning and construction: in the presence of dependent words, one is written n, in the absence - two n, for example: Sister intends to leave soon. “His insolence is deliberate. We are devoted to the Motherland. “Old friends are always loyal. Our athletes are sure of victory. — The movements of the gymnasts are light and confident. She is not interested in the success of this endeavor. — Faces of listeners are interested.

The Russian language is so diverse that most people get the impression that it is impossible to master the material, but this is not so.

It is necessary to remember a number of rules, one of which is "Spelling "n" and "nn" in participles." It will help any schoolchild, student and person, wise by experience, in the correct design of the text and the implementation of exercises.

Spelling "N" and "NN" in participles

When to write one "N"

If there is no prefix at the beginning of the word, then a single letter is written. Options: mightier n th streets, heat n th potato. The participle is reborn into an adjective.

If a word consists of two verbal units and is overloaded with symbols, a single version is also written. Option: smoother n th-pereglazhe n th tie. Such a word also has the meaning of an adjective, its best quality.

It turns out that the semantic meaning of a word also depends on its spelling, as well as belonging to the type.

Two "NN" in participles

In the suffixes of participles of the passive form, a double "n" is placed.

This happens when a prefix is ​​placed in a word:

• pen rule nn th book;
• cut slice;
• per paved roads;
• pen fried potatoes;
• pen similar nn th road;
• teacher unprecedently clone.

Double "H" is written in participles without prefixes in the forms of the perfect form. Options: captivity nn oh, brooch nn oh, decide nn th. And also in those participles that are formed from the type of the imperfect. Options: chita nn oh, hear nn th.

"H" and "HH" in verbal adjectives

When to spell "N"

Verb-based adjectives are not like participles - they do not use the usual adjective. Thus, words created on the basis of a verb and not containing a prefix are adjectives. Examples: chewing n th sheet, kova n th nail, smarter n oh boy, it seems n th way, your n oh cabbage.

Prefix NOT does not change the words, a single letter is written. Writing options: nezva n oh cat, it doesn't look like n th ravine.

One letter is written in compound adjectives that have two roots and two meanings. Examples: one-piece n th(cut entirely) Zlatakova n th(forged from gold).

There are expressions with different meanings. For instance, name n th friend. It is an adjective (verbal) and has the meaning not of a native, but of being a brother in case of some circumstances.

But there is another option - name nn yy in honor of someone. It turns out that the person was given a name in honor of grandparents. Such a word will be a participle, and will be written with two letters .

Cases of writing "NN"

"Being a nn otherwise, the officer remained in the division. Such a sentence replaces the following phrase: "Soldier hurt, but he did not leave his combat territory.

In this case, the opposite happens, there is a degeneration into communion.

Double H is written in the cases of using "OVANNY" and "YOVANNY" - those that are not included in the root. Options: honored title, uprooted path.

Exceptions

Exceptional options to remember : form nn oh, business nn oh, wish nn oh, gem nn oh, slow nn oh, invisible nn oh, ugly nn oops, dumbass nn oh (eye), nezhda nn oh, unheard nn ouch, nechaya nn oh, okay nn oh, holy nn oh, count nn wow, wow nn oh, check nn th.

Spelling "Н" and "НН" in adjectives formed from nouns

One letter is placed in the suffix part of the word " AN", « YAN" and " IN". Options: rye, resin, pigeon.

In combinations " ENN" and " HE N" double letters are used. Options: stone, window. In this case, the single letter "H" falls on the root, and the other on the suffix.

But there are exceptional options: glass yann th, tin yann th, trees yann oh, the wind en th. They should be remembered.

How to choose what to write "n" or "nn" in adjectives and participles

We looked at the different uses and spellings of "N" inside participles and adjectives. Based on the analyzed material, the following conclusion can be drawn.

All participles are written with double letters "H". All adjective words, originally created from a verb, use one "N", except for exception words that must be remembered.

Adjectives that originate from nouns are written with two letters "H", if one letter is placed in the root part and the other in the suffix. With one letter H" if it is directly in the suffix part.

Do not forget about the special words that you need to remember. And finally, a few examples of the application of the rule.

Participle Always double HH	verbal adjective	Adjective
There is an attachment: pen rule nn th book	Attachment not used: mightier n th roads	Suffixes "AN", "YAN", "IN": rye, clay, nightingale
There is a prefix "NOT" and another prefix: restless nn th officer	The prefix "NOT" - put a single letter: nezva n th guest	In combinations of letters " ENN" and " HE N": stone, window
There is no prefix before the word, but it is perfect or imperfective: captivity nn oh, brooch nn oh, decide nn oh, read nn oh, hear nn th	The word has two roots: one-piece n th
The word takes the place of the verb: Being a wound nn th, the officer remained in the division.	In the cases of using "OVANNY" and "YOVANNY": honorary title, uprooted path
	The word includes two words similar in meaning: smoother n th-pereglazhe n th tie
	Exceptional options: seen, done, desired, cutesy, slow, unseen, unforeseen, awake (eye), unexpected, unheard, unintentional, cursed, sacred, counted, conceited, minted.	Exceptions with two and one "H": glass yann th, tin yann th, trees yann oh, the wind en th
