INTRODUCTORY AND NOT INTRODUCTORY,
or about the distinction between introductory constructions and sentence members

As introductory words, words specially designed for this purpose are used: however, say, please, so, therefore etc. But the vast majority of introductory words and phrases, as the previous section convinces, are represented by words of various parts of speech in cases where they express the meanings indicated above. Our Auto RU it was possible, for example, to create sentences with an adjective (in the role of a predicate) Maybe, with a predicative adverb (as the main member of an impersonal sentence) Maybe, with an introductory word Maybe:

Observation Maybe in good weather.
maybe that the weather will be fine.
Weather, Maybe, will be good.

The syntactic role of such words is determined by their meaning and context. Often you can check it by removing the word from the sentence or moving it. In one case (without an introductory word), the sentence structure is preserved: The weather will be fine. In the other (without a sentence member) - most often breaks up: Observation... in good weather.

It also happens that a sentence can be interpreted in two ways, and then the indicated method of verification does not give the desired results: the structure is preserved both when the introductory word is removed, and when the member of the sentence is removed. Our Author, for example, once faced the problem of choosing one of two sentences for his story:

Finallygood weather has arrived.
Finally, the weather is fine.

It was clear that it was necessary to slowly analyze the meaning of the word finally, the semantic features of the sentence and the entire context. As a result, it turned out that in the first case, the adverb finally characterizes the time of the onset of good weather, which, apparently, was expected for a long time. In other words, "after everything" - after bad weather and after waiting - fine days came. Our Auto RU came to mind the words from one cartoon: " We built, built and finally built!» The offers were very similar. The last thing our Author, - finally the compatibility of the adverb and particles - something: it turned out that to add -then and to get finally could be done without difficulty and without changing the meaning of the sentence. Our Author remembered: this technique helps to recognize exactly the adverbs.

In the second case, finally, it was not connected with the verb "come", but referred to some other idea about the weather and its place in a number of other events. The general background was, apparently, thoughts about rest and what disposed to it: “ I passed all the exams at the university, took a vacation at work at my own expense. Finally the good weather arrived. Now you can really relax.". Behind the word, finally, there was an indication of another, final argument in favor of a well-deserved rest, which means that it was not simple, but introductory.

Our Author made the right choice, but which one, we, unfortunately, do not remember. Meanwhile, the collection of the site "Culture of Written Speech" also has its own, very good examples of sentences with polysemantic words and phrases and comments on them. We invite you to get to know them.

Undoubtedly. He behaved like an unconditionally decent person.(an adverb meaning ‘completely, absolutely’). Of course, he knows our plans(an introductory word indicating a high degree of confidence of the speaker in what is being reported. Cf. undoubtedly).

Finally. Finally he came(in the end = finally; in the sentence it is a tense, so the comma is not separated) - You are careful enough after all(in the end, it does not indicate time, but the conclusion that the speaker came to as a result of a series of reasoning; there is no syntactic connection with the rest of the sentence, therefore, in the end, the introductory phrase and the comma (commas) stand out. Compare finally).

Anyway. Anyway can be used in the meaning of an adverb (= regardless of anything, in any circumstances, in any case): You to me anyway write; and also in the meaning of a colloquial particle (= but still): She may not be very smart anyway charming. In journalism and colloquial speech, this phrase is also used as an introductory one; compare: He, anyway didn't expect this turn of events(cf. at least).

At the same time. In terms of its meaning and grammatical nature, the combination is at the same time synonymous with the word however and, like however, can act as a union (if it is at the beginning of a sentence), connecting sentences that contain an addition to what was said earlier, usually with a hint of opposition, - and in this role is not separated by commas: However, knowledge about the mechanisms of action of radiation is still incomplete., and as an introductory word (if it is in the middle of a sentence): It is possible, however, that this reaction may have a different direction..

Punctuation marks for introductory words

Introductory words and combinations are separated by commas.

Amber, in fact, is not a real stone.

If the introductory word is after a series of homogeneous members before the generalizing word, then a dash is put instead of the first comma.

Mayor, judge, superintendent of charitable institutions - in a word, all officials in the city take bribes.

If the introductory combination is not fully implemented, then a dash is placed after it.

On the one hand, his characters are quite ordinary, on the other hand, their very ordinaryness is deliberately exaggerated.

One and the same forms should be distinguished in the role of introductory words and in the role of members of the sentence.

He is obviously resting. His superiority is obvious to all.

I seem to understand you. She seems tired. The wind seems to subside.

The following words are usually not introductory: perhaps, literally, as if, in addition, to top it off, suddenly, after all, in the end, here, hardly, after all, even, hardly, exclusively, exactly, as if, as if, just, besides, in the meantime, I suppose, by suggestion, by decree, by decision, approximately, approximately, moreover, almost, therefore, simply, decisively, as if, supposedly.

Pay particular attention to the words however and finally.

Punctuation marks for introductory sentences

There are three ways to punctuate introductory sentences:

1. Selection with commas.

He, I am sure, will be upset.

2. Selection with brackets. It is used when the introductory sentence has the character of additional comments or explanations to the thought being expressed (in this case it is also called an insert construction).

my coming ( and i noticed it) somewhat confused the guests.

3. Highlighting with two dashes. It is used when the introductory sentence has the character of additional comments or explanations to the thought being expressed (in this case it is also called an insert construction).

Merchants - there were three of them - were solid.

The choice between brackets and dashes when highlighting introductory sentences is not regulated by school rules. It is believed that brackets are a stronger distinguishing mark.

Today, a far from idle question has come into the field of our attention: is it possible to separate the word “finally” with commas and what are the conditions for their formulation. Let's analyze examples and subtleties of word usage, because punctuation is always more difficult than spelling.

It all depends on the meaning

It so happened that in Russian grammar it is impossible to derive universal rules, because much is left at the mercy of the author. The word under consideration today can be both an introductory and an adverb. Naturally, if it is introductory, then it is separated by commas, if the adverb is not. The difficulty lies in understanding this fine line. However, these are not all possible options. Question: "Should I separate "finally" with commas?" - may disappear if the definition "finally" breaks up into the noun "end" and the preposition "on". In this case, of course, no commas are needed. For example: "We tied a kite to the end of the rope." But further we will not talk about such simple cases.

"Finally" as an introductory word

Everything seems to be relatively clear here. Even a person who does not remember the school curriculum well will immediately say that water words are always separated by commas. If they are at the beginning of a sentence, then one comma, if at the end - a comma and a dot, and if in the middle - two commas. There is only one difficulty here - to find out exactly when exactly “finally” should be highlighted with commas. The object of study is an introductory word under the following conditions:

1. If indicates the connection of thoughts or the order of presentation. For example: “Why should Petrov be fired? First, he doesn't follow the rules. Secondly, he is very careless. Finally, I just don't like it!" For convenience, you can try to mentally replace “finally” with “and more”, if the replacement is possible, then the word is definitely introductory.
2. Subjective assessment or emotions. For example: “Where, finally, are my things, how long can these porters wait?”

Of course, all this is quite difficult to understand the first time, but when the reader has the whole picture, we hope the meaning will become clear.

Synonyms that cancel commas

The punctuation of the Russian language is much more complicated than spelling, therefore, in order not to be mistaken, you need to look for various analogues that make the mysterious obvious. Often mental substitution helps in this sense. If instead of “finally” you can put “at the end”, “as a result of everything”, “after everything”, then it should not be singled out. For example: "My way home was long and full of adventures, but finally I got home at about 6 am."

Perhaps the most difficult task for the checker of such texts, especially when the author cannot be asked about his intention, is to correctly understand the original meaning.

The case when nuances decide the outcome of the struggle with grammar

Continuing the conversation about whether it is worth highlighting “finally” with commas or not, one cannot fail to mention one trick that often works. If you can replace “finally” with “finally” in a sentence, then commas are not needed. For example, the well-known phrase of Cheburashka “we built, built and finally built” does not need commas. it can be painlessly, without loss of meaning, to replace “finally” with “finally”. And now we are ready to answer one more question that worries many: “finally” stands out with commas? No, it doesn't stand out.

Optional cases

Yes, there is still such a situation when the object of study combines the function of an adverb and an introductory word. In these cases, the speaker's emotions come to the fore, and then a comma is placed. For example: “A young man thoughtlessly threw money down the drain, and was left penniless, finally!”

In fairness, it must be said that such delights are rare, and rather this is the responsibility of the author. The reader must have heard the phrase "author's style" - that's it. When a writer allows himself certain liberties in the arrangement of punctuation marks, and then the latter turn into a headache for philologists and all writers, because they are collected in a corpus of so-called exceptions. Our task is not yet so difficult, we must first understand the basic principles.

Another subtlety that needs to be mentioned

The arrangement is also affected by the fact that the introductory word is next to the connecting union, and they are located at the beginning of the sentence. For example:

• Indeed, the child dropped his lollipop, and now wept bitterly.
• And of course, I came to the birthday first, however, as always.
• And finally, Petrov is just a bad writer, let's fire him from the newspaper.

True, in the latter case, options are possible, if the object of study indicates a connection of thoughts and is in the middle or end of a sentence, then “and finally” is separated by commas on both sides, even despite the presence of a union. For example: “First, I want to thank all the readers of my books, to be honest, they are mediocre (joke). Secondly, my parents, who sent me to the Faculty of Philology, and I learned how to put sentences out of words and comprehended the secrets of punctuation and spelling, though not all. Thirdly, my wife, who tolerates me. Fourth, my friends, and finally my cat, who supported me on her knees as I wrote each of my novels.

Against ambiguity

You can spend your life studying your native language and never master all the subtleties. But if the reader needs to avoid ambiguity, then let him choose only one hundred percent cases of staging or absence of commas: “Finally, dad came home from work and brought a chocolate bar, we have been waiting for him for so long.” And in cases where this is an introductory word, you can replace it with a more obvious analogue or remove it altogether: “But where, finally, is my pen! Where did I take her?!” Mentally remove "finally" and nothing will change.

But this is important only if you are an editor or proofreader, the author can afford some liberties. But experience says that the author, if he is not of that scale, is more likely to be subordinate to those who terrifyingly hang over him. Therefore, it is better to use the Russian language within the normal range so that there is no ambiguity and problems.

There is only one small detail left. There is a famous line from the Spleen group: “Late at night, through all the commas, I finally reached the point.” What about commas that lead to a dot? In different sources in their own way, but, according to the rules that exclude the author's style, you need to write without commas, because you can safely replace it with “finally”.
