Which is correct: during the day or throughout the day? This question is asked by many high school students. A comprehensive answer to this can be obtained from the presented article.
general information
Let's sum it up
Now you know in which cases you should write the letter “i” at the end of the expression “during ...”, and in which cases you should write “e”. To remember the described rules, let's present them in a shorter form:
1. The letter “e” is always written at the end of the word “during” if it is a complex preposition that means “during a certain period of time.” Such a service part of speech can also be recognized by the fact that it cannot be asked a question, but can be easily replaced with a synonym (during).
2. At the end of the word “during” the letter “and” is written if it is a noun, standing in. In order to determine this part of speech, it is enough to ask the question to the presented expression: “in what?” - during. You can also easily put a word between a preposition and a noun (for example, in a slow current, in a stormy current, etc.).
Exercises to reinforce the material
To remember the above rules of the Russian language, we recommend that you complete the following tasks yourself:
1. Find errors in the sentences:
- Within 14 days I must return to Moscow.
- There were many whirlpools throughout the river.
- I will be released within 24 hours.
- During my life I have seen a lot.
2. Fill in the blanks in the following sentences:
- Why didn't you come to me during the lesson?
- Oh, no one knows how much we used these papers over the course of a month.
- In the stormy current of the river I noticed a man.
- We argued several times over the course of the year.
- I will definitely visit you during this year.
- How could you swim in a strong river current?
- In the turbulent course of my life there were so many events that I can’t remember everything.
In Russian there are two possible uses of words - “during” and “during”. To choose the right one, you need to determine what part of speech the word is in the sentence.
Right
During– such a combination in a sentence is often a complex preposition, which is always written with the letter “e” at the end of the word. Used in designs like: for an hour, for a day, for two minutes, etc. Can be replaced with synonyms: throughout, for (some time), during, during.
You must provide documents within two days
No one lived in this house for three years.
The referees were watching us throughout the game.
We've been doing this for a very long time.
Money should arrive within an hour
During– very rarely such a construction in a sentence can be a combination of a preposition with a noun in the form of the accusative case (in what?)
Engineers made changes to fluid flow
Dye added to clear liquid
During– a combination of the preposition “in” with the noun “current” in the form of the prepositional case, answers the question “in what?” The letter “i” is written at the end of the word. You can add a modifier between a preposition and a noun without losing the meaning of the sentence.
Changes have been recorded in the course of the river – Changes have been recorded in the course of the river under study
There can be many surprises in the flow of a mountain river – There can be many surprises in the fast flow of a mountain river
There were stones in the slow flow of the lava flow – There were stones in the slow flow of the lava flow
We wondered for a long time that it floated down the river
There is an unsolved mystery in the passage of time
Important! If the context of the sentence implies “the passage of time” as a certain abstract physical quantity that has the property of fluidity, then a combination of the preposition “in” and the noun “flow” (prepositional case form) is used. Usually used with an explanatory word (adjective), which indicates that the word “flow” is a noun and not a complex preposition.
In the inexorable passage of the day, the hour of reckoning was getting closer
In the rapid flow of life, he did not have time to do the most important thing
In the crazy flow of the day I forgot to call home
One common instance of difficulty in choosing the correct spelling is during or during. It is useful for everyone to know how to correctly use such phrases in a text, since even the Word program most likely will not help clarify the situation with the correct ending. The built-in spell checker is only useful when you type "in progress" or "in progress" instead of "in progress."
During – together or separately? The answer to this question is clear. In any case, it is correct to write separately. This is where a text editor with a built-in spell checker will help, highlighting combined spelling as erroneous. However, automatic fixing is not always available. Therefore, it is easier to remember this rather easy rule, which will help out under any circumstances.
Which ending is correct: “e” or “i”? There is no clear answer here. Both options are correct, but are used in different cases, as they differ in meaning. At the same time, automatic spell checking is powerless, because spelling a phrase with either the ending “i” or “e” is not incorrect.
So you can find out for sure which ending should be written only by looking at the phrase in the sentence.
Spelling in cases where you can ask the question “in what?”
Correct: with the ending “and”.
These are two parts of speech: the preposition “in” and the noun, which is in the prepositional case. That is, the phrase answers the question “in what?” The noun following the preposition in such cases can have any of the meanings (for example, “flow” or “development”):
Years later, scientists noticed changes (in what?) in the flow of the river.
Doctors managed to achieve improvement (in what?) in the course of the disease.
In addition, a noun can have dependent words, that is, for the purpose of spelling check, the combination is easily separated by inserting an adjective into it. For example:
In the (what?) rapid flow of events, a pattern became noticeable.
Spelling when meaning “for some time” or “during”
Correct: with the ending "e".
This is a complex preposition, which is similar in meaning to the expressions “during”, “for the time” or “during”. Following the rules of the Russian language, the ending of a combination with this meaning should always be written in the form of the letter “e”:
During the lesson, schoolchildren studied the spelling of the adjective “tin” and made sentences with the word.
Over the past four years, they have vacationed at sea three times.
Two separate words form one part of speech (complex preposition), therefore it will not be possible to insert anything else between them without violating the meaning. This feature can be used for testing purposes. So, for example, you cannot separate this stable combination by inserting an additional word in the following sentence:
He had been unable to grasp the ever-elusive moment for a long time.
For comparison: between the preposition “in” and the noun “current” you can insert the word “fast”:
He once tried to capture a subtle moment (of what?) in the rapid passage of time.
Spelling in cases where you can ask the question “what?”
Correct: with the ending "e".
Here everything is in many ways similar to the case with the phrase ending in “and”. The difference lies in the question answered by the combination: “into what?” or “where?” These are the same two parts of speech: a preposition and a noun, but in the accusative. Otherwise there are no differences. The noun here can also be used in any meaning (for example, “flow” or “course”):
The authorities learned that industrial waste had gotten into (what?) the river.
He noticed that (into what?) memories of the previous conversation constantly burst into his thoughts.
In such cases, it is also possible for the noun to have dependent words. That is, to check the spelling, for example, an adjective is inserted into the middle of the combination, and the phrase will still make sense.
conclusions
Regardless of the semantic load and ending (“e” or “i”), the phrase is written separately. At the same time, the choice of the last letter during writing is influenced by the meaning in the sentence, that is, belonging to one or two parts of speech.
Should be written ending with "and", If:
- it answers the question “in what?”, being a preposition and a noun;
The phrase should be written with ending "e", If:
- it is similar in meaning to the expressions “during”, “during”, “for the time”, being a stable combination that is used as a complex preposition;
- It is impossible to put a word between the parts of the combination.
- the phrase answers the question “what?”, being a preposition and a noun;
- You can put a word between the parts of the combination.
