DEBUT

The famous Russian singer Fyodor Ivanovich Chaliapin was invited to Milan in 1901 for rehearsals of composer Boito’s opera “Mephistopheles” at the La Scala theater. Chaliapin was entrusted with the main role in the hope that his famous bass would help the public appreciate the opera, which, after a noisy failure, had not been staged for 32 years and now, in the 1900/01 season, was resumed in the theater.

Rehearsals lasted for two weeks, preparing the performance was very difficult. All the singers, as was customary in their creative team, were rehearsing, but from Chaliapin, who was not yet known here, conductor Arturo Toscanini demanded singing in full voice. Chaliapin's bass seemed so powerful to everyone who was present at the rehearsal that they were shocked. The actors and the public eagerly awaited the premiere.

The evening of the first performance arrived. The well-dressed crowd noisily entered the stalls, went up to the balcony, and took seats in the boxes.

Mephistopheles-Chaliapin entered the stage in the prologue. And this first appearance of the singer, his beautiful voice, tall figure, naturalness and expressiveness of movements made a huge impression on the audience.

When Chaliapin finished his part, it seemed to him that an avalanche had fallen on him, such a noise arose in the hall. It was applause in honor of his talent and shouts of welcome to the singer.

After the prologue, Chaliapin was again given a loud ovation. With each picture his success increased. Chaliapin's partner was Enrico Caruso, then, like Chaliapin, still a young, aspiring singer. The performance was a triumph for him too. But the Russian bass was in a special position, since the La Scala audience was especially demanding of singers unknown to them who came on tour. This evening ended in brilliant success for the young Russian artist.

Exercise 10.

Write the text from dictation

SEA ELEMENT

You can sit motionless for several hours, looking at the playing sea. Nearby, the sea is transparent and clean, but in the distance it lies as a thick dark blue stripe, slightly covered with haze.

Far, far away, a lonely sail is white. Despite the wonderful weather, the sea is empty.

Near the shore, seagulls dart here and there over the waves. Suddenly the seagulls, as if in agreement, fly away from the shore. Apparently, their keen eyes saw a steamer in the distance, and they headed towards it. As they leave, the sea remains quiet as before. No sounds can be heard from anywhere. Subsequently, I always recalled with pleasure my walks along the seashore.

The prepositions because of, from under, on-over, by-for are written with a hyphen.

Note. It is written separately when this combination does not have the meaning of a preposition, for example: In view of the enemy (obsolete phrase), to mean.
In the prepositions during, in continuation, as a result, e is written at the end. Combinations with the first two prepositions always have the meaning of time and answer the question how long? For example: I was on a business trip for (continued) a month. The combination with the preposition due has a causal meaning, for example: Due to the damp and cool spring, the greens retained their freshness until the beginning of July (the writing of the preposition due should not be confused with the writing of the adverb subsequently).
Write it off. Explain (orally) the writing of prepositions.

The Russian language is beautiful and terrible at the same time. The latter circumstance is especially felt when the great and mighty are painfully studied. How do foreigners master all this? Unknown. Let's talk today about the difficult case that is contained in the phrase “to be absent from class for a week.” Nothing here is in doubt except the ending of the word “current”. But even this problem will seem easy if you find an approach to it.

The whole problem is in consonance

In scientific terms, this is called homonymy. There are several types of homonyms. We are dealing with homophones, because they are all the same letter, but the concepts differ depending on what is meant. If we are talking about a time period, a period, then there is no mistake in the sentence “to be absent from classes for a week.” It’s another matter if we talk about something that has a flow, even if we are talking about time. It is important to understand what exactly the person wants to say. But this is not the only criterion. Let's look at parts of speech first.

Derivative or non-derivative preposition with a noun

We apologize to the reader for having to understand such subtleties, but there is no way to do without it when it comes to genuine knowledge. The world works like this: you need to sweat to achieve results.

What is the difference between a derivative and a non-derivative preposition? In origin. The first were once other parts of speech - nouns, adverbs, participles. Non-derivatives cannot boast of such a rich biography. We think there will be no great harm in giving at least one example of both. The following are related to nouns:

during;
in continuation.

The prepositions associated with adverbs are as follows:

near;
near.

Prepositions that trace their origins to gerunds:

thanks to;
despite.

To illustrate non-derivative prepositions, you don’t even need a list; let’s list them in a line: in, with, to, about, at.

In this short series we are interested, as is easy to understand, only in the pretext V, since it is he who is involved in the sentence “to be absent from classes for a week.” By the way, if someone still doesn’t understand, the example is written correctly.

The Problem of Discrimination

Naturally, you may not know the above subtleties, but do not make mistakes when you need to show off your abilities. There are also rumors that there is some kind of innate literacy, when a person, without remembering the rules, writes without errors. Well, maybe she is. But it’s better to know exactly why a person thinks this way and not otherwise, and on what basis in the sentence “to be absent from classes for a week” you need to write “e” and not “and.” So, let's start with the cases. When it comes to a preposition, the ex-noun in it is in the accusative case. If we are talking about a noun with a non-derivative preposition, then the case is different - prepositional. This is where the difference between the endings comes from. If the derived preposition is “e”, if the noun with a preposition is “and”.

What to do if you don’t want to torment yourself with cases?

If a word is mentally inserted into the space between the preposition and the intended noun, then you can safely write the word “and” at the end rather than “e”. For example: “In the upper reaches of the river, my father and I discovered crayfish.” Of course, a dependent word in the genitive case can save the situation in this situation. As you can see, you can’t completely get rid of cases. True, if you think about terms in general and weeks, months in particular, it is unlikely that a dependent word in the genitive case will actually save the situation. This means that you need to think first of all about whether there is a gap between the preposition and the noun. If not, then the construction is just pretending, masquerading as a noun and a preposition. It is clear. Now the reader himself is able to answer the question of whether it is correct to “absent from class for a week” or “the student was not in class for a week.” Let’s just say that it’s right not to miss classes, but otherwise all the keys are provided, you just need to think a little.

What do time and the river have in common?

They are united by the verb “to flow.” Therefore, theoretically and practically, a situation may arise when we are talking about time, but you will still have to use a noun with a preposition, and not a non-derivative preposition. For example: “Over time, states and even entire civilizations disappear.” What are we talking about here? About the fact that nothing lasts forever. And be that as it may, there is no error. You can, after all, insert an adjective, for example, “inexorable” in the appropriate form, into the space between the preposition and the noun, and immediately doubts will disappear about how to write the phrase “over time.”

Illness and recovery time

There is such a well-known phrase “course of the disease.” You can also practice on it in order to dispel any last doubts regarding the subject of our scientific conversation. For example, like this: “During the course of the disease, no special changes were observed.” Or you can put it another way: “Petrov, please, do not go to work while you are sick, so as not to infect the team and not miss our deadlines.” The difference is only one letter, but the meaning is radically different. In the first case, we are talking about an illness that remains static, and in the second case, we are talking about how long Petrov should not go to work.

And yet, the most effective method of preventing errors in this sense is to study the space between the preposition and the noun, whether it exists or not. True, a clear-thinking person can well say what he means. The course of a process, even a temporary one, is one thing, and another thing is during what period of time this or that event occurs. For transparency of the above, we will use the services of a pun: “Certainty in the course of the disease will appear within a week.” Everything seems clear. Therefore, there should be no problem with the proposal to “be absent from classes for a week” (we hope we have explained the rule quite clearly).

The whole problem is in consonance
