English language

Pronounced consonants. Unpronounceable consonants at the root of words. Rules, examples of words. Double consonants at the junction of significant parts of a word

Sometimes consonants play hide and seek with us. They are not pronounced, but are written in a notebook. Lesson topic: “Rule for checking the spelling of words with unpronounceable consonants.”

Good word Hello I told you. " I wish you good health!“This is how the military greet each other. What did the word mean? health? Health is health. And to be healthy meant to be healthy and to live, to be alive. Therefore, our greeting is hello! means: be healthy and live, be alive.

Hello, hello- this is how these words are written, since there is a related word health (health).

And we pronounce these words differently: hello, hello.

Some sounds of the Russian language are difficult to pronounce when there are several other consonants next to them. So they decided to write letters in place of these sounds, but not pronounce the sounds.

There are many words in the Russian language that contain three consonant sounds in a row. One consonant sound out of three is not pronounced. Such consonant sounds are called unpronounceable.

Let's read the words with the same root. Let's find words in which not all consonant sounds are pronounced.

News, news, messenger, known, known.

The sound [t] is not pronounced in the words ve [s’n’]ik, izve[sn]y, izve[sn]o.

The root -west- is spelled the same in words with the same root.

Sad, sad, sad, sad.

The sound [t] is not pronounced in the words gru[sn]o, gru[sn]y. The root -sad- is written the same way.

The letter that denotes an unpronounceable consonant sound will be underlined with one line. This is a spelling.

messenger - news

sad - sadness

In these words you can clearly hear the sound [t’] at the end of the word. Let's underline the letter in the test word with two strokes.

messenger - news

sad - sad

In these words, the sound [t’] is clearly heard, since after the consonant sound there is a vowel. Let's underline these letters with two strokes.

To avoid mistakes in spelling words with unpronounceable consonants, you need to choose a word with the same root so that the unpronounceable sound can be clearly heard.

Test words can be words with the same root:

- the consonant sound is clearly heard at the end of the word;

- a consonant sound is clearly heard when placed before a vowel.

Let's try to solve a new spelling problem using methods of checking roots that are familiar to you.

Change the words according to the command of the question what? Choose a single root word that answers the question what?

miraculous - wonderful, miracles, wonderful interesting - interesting, interest, interesting whistling - whistle, whistling at [sn] and I - lips, oral khru[sn]ula - crunch, crunch All words contain a combination of consonants [sn] or [s'n'].

In words wonderful, interesting between the sounds [sn] there is no unpronounceable sound [t], and therefore there is no letter t. In words whistle, oral, crunched There is an unpronounceable consonant sound [t], and there is also the letter t.

How do you know if a word has an unpronounceable consonant sound or not?

Let's read the words as we say them. Listen to the sounds in the indicated places.

star zdn oh, gro zn oh, by zdn yay, right zdn uh, what's the matter zn ik, chu vstv oh, teaching stv wow

star[zn]oe, thunderous[zn]y, po[z'n']y, pra[z'n']ik, proka[z'n']ik, feel[st]a, participating What is interesting about the designation of sounds [stv], [zn], [z'n']?

In place of sounds [stv] there may be letters stv, vst.

In place of the sounds [zn], [z’n’] there may be letters zn, zdn.

Apply familiar verification methods and prove that the words are spelled correctly.

starry - (what?) star, late - (what to do?) be late, holiday - (what?) idle

These words have an unpronounceable consonant sound, so we write the letter d

formidable - (what to do?) threaten, prankish - (what?) pranks

There is no unpronounceable consonant sound in these words, so there is no letter d

In the words of feeling, the dictionary will help you remember the letters.

Let's say these words and listen to the sounds: so[nts]e, se[rts]e.

We recognize the necessary letters using test words of the same root.

There are such proverbs: “When sunshine Warm, mother's presence is good. The sharp word stings heart».

sun, (what?) sunny - sun

heart, (what?) heart - heart

Words have unpronounceable consonant sounds, they are indicated by letters L, D.

You might be surprised that the words cross and surroundings Previously they were of the same root. In ancient times there was a word in the Russian language around, which meant around, about, on all four sides. A neighborhood- this is a place around something or in the vicinity of something, for example: a city and its environs.

Neighborhood can be verified by word surroundings

What combinations of sounds when writing are dangerous?

Unpronounceable consonants can be in the following sound combinations:

[sn], [s’n’], [zn], [z’n’], [stv], [nts], [rts].

When writing, these combinations of sounds are dangerous, since there may be a spelling: a letter in place of an unpronounceable consonant sound.

Letters of unpronounceable consonants: D, T, V, L.

Let's remember the verification methods:

Powerful, joyful, unhappy,

both charming and stormy,

valiant, selfless, honest.

Don't forget these words.

When writing, insert a T in them.

Solve spelling problems in words with a dangerous combination of sounds [sn]. Try to remember the verification methods.

What?

Vlas T ny - (what?) power

rados T ny - (what?) joy

unfortunately T ny - (what?) misfortune

lovely T ny - (what?) lovely

not us T ny - (what?) bad weather

selfless T ny - (what?) self-interest

dobles T ny - (what?) valor

ches T ny - (what?) honor

Delicious, clear, interesting,

safe and heavenly,

and wonderful and beautiful,

both terrible and futile.

Don't forget these words

do not insert the letter T into them.(N. Betenkova)

Let's select words with the same root that answer the question What? Let's change these words using the question command what?

tasty - (what?) tasty

vowel - (what?) voice

interesting - (what?) interesting

safe - (what?) safe

heavenly - (what?) heaven

wonderful - (what?) miracles

wonderful - (what?) wonderful

terrible - (what?) terrible

vain - (what?) vain

There is no unpronounceable consonant in these words, so the letter T should not be in them.

Let's think about the transcriptions of words:

Transcriptions of words are given. Why are there more letters in words than sounds?

[l’es’n’itsa] - stairs 7 sounds, 8 letters [m’esny’] - local 6 sounds, 7 letters [sv’ersn’ik] - peer 8 sounds, 9 letters

These words have more letters than sounds, since one sound is unpronounceable

Word ladder cannot be verified.

Local let's check with a word place.

Word peer derived from the ancient Russian word verst, which meant age.

And here peer it is written without the letter T. The spelling of the word must be remembered.

Conclusion:

In order not to make mistakes in writing words with unpronounceable consonant sounds, you need to choose a word with the same root so that the unpronounceable sound can be clearly heard.

When pronouncing some words with combinations of consonants, loss of sounds. Consonants that drop out during pronunciation are called unpronounceable (region T noah, not us T ny).

To check the spelling of words with unpronounceable consonants (usually combinations stn, stl, zdn, lnc, rdc ), it is necessary to select a related word in which this consonant is pronounced, for example: region T noy - region T oh, just a minute T livy - wait T yeah, right d nick - praz d en, sol n tse - sol n evergreen, gray d tse - ser d Echny.

You cannot insert extra letters that are not in the test word, for example: delicious(taste), verbal(words).

Remember the spelling of words: chu V goodness, bleh sn ugh(Although bleh st eat), re sn itsy, row sn ik, ver st nick, me st va(food, from the ancient verb eat), former(from the Old Russian word before - earlier ).

Stunning and voicing of consonants

Voiced consonants b, V, G, d, and, h words are deafened before voiceless consonants and at the end, for example: hawk b, hawk b ki, borax V, borax V chick, liar G, warehouse d, gara and, Moro h, re h cue etc. On the contrary, voiceless consonants P, f, To, T, w, With before voiced ones they are voiced, for example: co With bah, molo T bah. As a rule, deafening and voicing of consonants is not reflected in writing.

In order not to make a mistake in writing deaf and voiced consonants at the root, the word must be changed or a related word must be chosen so that after these sounds there is a vowel (or l, m, n, R ), For example: hawk b- hawk b s; Moro h- Moro h y, moro h ny; co With ba-ko With it; mo G- mo G whether; mo To- mo To whether.

Word matchmaker d bah written with d (Although matchmaker T at), word le With tnitsa - with a letter With (Although le h t).

For some consonants it is impossible to select a test word, for example: Ryu To zach, in To hall, ane To dot, ku V tires, ka f tan. You need to remember such words.

Today the weather is stormy

And I'm so unhappy.

The rain is absolutely terrible.

It would soon become clear again

And the red sun would shine,

And it would be wonderful all around!

Nobody likes rainy weather because you can't go out and play with your friends. What to do while sitting at home when it’s raining outside? Maybe study how unpronounceable consonants at the root of words are written?

Rule

To correctly write such words, you need to learn the rule:

Let's apply it to the words from the poem:

Today the weather is inclement T ye),

And I'm so unhappy (unfortunately) T e).

The rain is falling absolutely terrible (terrible - no T).

It would soon become clear again (clear - no T),

And the sun would shine red (red - no T),

And it would be wonderful all around (wonderful - no T)!

This helps to check the unpronounceable consonants at the root of a word. It is very simple, you must learn it by heart.

Choose a test word

Let's play the test word game. For each of the examples below, select a test cognate word

  • famous, messenger, agenda (news, message, news, message);
  • sad (sadness, be sad);
  • hello (health, health, healthy);
  • starry (star, asterisk);
  • cabbage (cabbage);
  • locality (place, place);
  • inclement (inclement weather);
  • late (to be late, late);
  • joyful (joy);
  • whistle (whistle, whistle);
  • heart (heart, heart);
  • sun (sunny);
  • reed (reed);
  • participant (participation);
  • honest (honor);
  • dangerous (fear);
  • wonderful (miracles);
  • terrible (terrible);
  • interesting (interesting).

Second graders begin to learn root words. 2nd grade should already be able to select test words.

Words to remember with unpronounceable consonants

It is not always possible to apply the rule. There are words in which unpronounceable consonants cannot be checked. They are called dictionary, their spelling needs to be learned:

  • staircase - a series of steps or rungs;
  • holiday - a day when a significant event is celebrated;
  • feelings - internal experience, emotional state;
  • peers - people of the same age;
  • peers is a synonym for the word "peers".

Find words that have unpronounceable consonants at the root of the word

It is necessary to develop the ability to find words with unpronounceable consonants among others. This requires training. Here are sentences, find words in them with unpronounceable consonants.


These sentences use words with different spellings, among them “Unpronounceable consonants at the root of the word”, examples of such words: messenger, joyful, charming, wonderful, beautiful, starry, cabbage, agenda, late, reeds, localities.

Divide the words into two groups

Words for distribution: ne...y (heavenly), svi...y (whistle), dreve...y (woody), kol...y (wheeled), must...y (oral), inter...y (interesting), hru...ut ( crunch), zap...oh (spare), viru...y (viral), glad...y (joyful), consonant (consonant), ko...y (bone).

This task helps develop the ability to classify words according to their orthographic characteristics: whether there is an unpronounceable consonant at the root of the word or not.

Puzzles

Let's play riddles. You need to guess and write down the last word in the sentence:

  • At dawn, _______________(sun) peeks through the window.
  • My love will open the door in your ____________(heart).
  • On a frosty night, lights burn in the _____________ (starry) sky.
  • He is a known truth-teller, he will not tolerate lies, because he is __________ (honest).

This task will be interesting to complete when studying the topic “Unpronounceable consonants at the root of a word.” 3rd graders will cope with this work easily and fun.

Mini dictations

Now let's write a little dictation. Choose any:

It's a beautiful morning! It just rained. The cabbage beds are washed and fresh. The sun's rays warm up, and the damp earth smells good. My heart is happy from this beautiful morning. Hello summer!

Unsuccessful hunt

The hunt was unsuccessful. It was a stormy day. The sun disappeared behind the clouds, and a sad light rain began to fall. We got out of the forest. The area was known to us. The village herd grazed on this pasture in the summer. A shepherd's hut was visible nearby. We will rest in it after an unsuccessful hunt.

Spring came

The stormy days are over and spring has arrived. The birds are singing cheerfully, the sun is warming, the streams are babbling joyfully. The area was covered with grass, lilies of the valley bloomed under the trees. The buds on the trees opened. Hello Spring!

All these dictations are intended to test knowledge on the topic “Unpronounceable consonants at the root of words.” 3rd grade should cope with such tasks.

Insert words in the text

There was a very interesting text, but the letter-eating beetle ate some of the letters in the words. What to do? It is necessary to return the original form to words that have unpronounceable consonants at the root of the word.

A famous writer wrote a story about a prince who was invincible in battles. The word...the portrait speaks of the weak...character and terrible appearance of the prince. This prince took part in the campaign and was exposed to dangers. He himself was so cruel that he only spared one old man once.

One day after the victory, he arranged a festive feast. The table was bursting with delicious...i..tv. But the joyful feast was interrupted. The social...ce hid behind the clouds and there was a storm of... A strong wind blew, thunder roared, and lightning flashed. The prince felt severe pain, and then fell to the ground unconscious. Groo... but this story would have ended, but then a sorcerer appeared. He was the same age as the century. This old magician miraculously revived the prince and said: “Hello, prince! You once saved me from death, I returned the debt to you!”

Let's make sentences from words

When everyone has learned to write a dictation, you can move on to a more complex task - composing sentences. To do this, we use words that contain the studied spelling “Unpronounceable consonants at the root of the word.” Examples of such words: at a school holiday, joyful faces, concert participants, beautiful flowers, a beautiful area, a famous writer, an interesting story, heralds of spring, late autumn, inclement weather, a sad look.

With these words you can make, for example, the following sentences:

Spelling unpronounceable consonants

If a word contains several consonant sounds in a row (for example, in the word HONEST - STN, ENVIOUS - STL, AGENCY - NTSTV, etc.), then one of them may not be pronounced. This sound is called an UNPROUNDABLE CONSONANT. To find out whether a word has an unpronounceable consonant, you need to try to find a word with the same root in which this consonant is pronounced. Typically, this requires that the consonant being tested be before a vowel (HONEST - HONEST) or at the end of a word (CRUNCH - CRUNCH).

Let's consider as examples the words STAR(?)NYY, HONEST(?)NYY, TERRIBLE(?)NYY and DANGEROUS(?)NYY. You can make sure that in the word STAR you need the letter D between the letters Z and N using the test word STAR. In it, this consonant sound is heard very well, since it is followed by a vowel sound - A. The word CHES(?)NYY can be checked with the word HONOR, in which the consonant T appears at the end of the word.

The word DANGEROUS is checked using the word DANGEROUS: it turns out that there is no unpronounceable consonant in this word. For the adjective TERRIBLE, the word HORROR (the end of the word) or HORRIFY (position before the vowel) can serve as a test. Both test words indicate that this word does not contain an unpronounceable consonant and there is no need to write “extra” letters.

In addition, you need to remember a few words that cannot be verified. Their spelling should be learned.

WRITTEN WITHOUT UNPROUNCED CONSONANTS

1. Contrary to verification, without unpronounceable consonants the words SHINE (although SHINE), FLASK (although GLASS), ANGRY (although ANGRY), TABLECLOTH (although TABLECLOTH) are written.

2. Without unpronounceable consonants, the unverifiable words are written: PROGRESS, VAST, PEER, GLOSSY.

3. The word KOSNY is written without an unpronounceable consonant, meaning “backward, gravitating towards the old, familiar” (inert beliefs).

WRITTEN WITH UNPROUNCABLE CONSONANTS

1. Contrary to verification, the word LADDER is written with an unpronounceable consonant (although LADDER).

2. The unverifiable words FEELING, PEER are written with an unpronounceable consonant.

3. The word BONE is written with an unpronounceable consonant, derived from the word BONE (bone marrow, bone tissue).
