Declining nouns is not the most interesting topic in the school curriculum. Yes, and what could be interesting here, if everything is based on a blunt bison? And that which is boring is the worst of all.
Can add a little joke to tediousmemorization process. For example, our grandmothers also memorized the order of the cases using a funny rhyme in which the first letter of each word corresponded to the first letter of the case.
Ivan is nominative
I gave birth to the genitive
girl - dative,
ordered - accusative,
haul-off,
diaper - prepositional.
Learning such a poem is easy. And now the cases are lined up in their memory!
However, even knowing the names of cases, it is not easy to master the declension of nouns. After all, you still need to learn questions! And again, there is a potion “About Masha” to help students:
Sweets at Masha's not -
Dame Maruse I am a candy.
I see: Masha is masterful,
Does not play, not happy.
She thinks about what?
Cases have nothing to do with it!
Meticulous students will be surprised:“And what is the connection between some wayward Masha and the topic that we are considering?” Of course, there is no special connection here. But the one who carefully looks at the rhyme, will notice that in each line, either at the end or at the beginning, one word is highlighted.
These are "magic" helpers. They will help us to remember the case questions, and then, you see, it will be possible to master the declension of nouns, joking and playfully,.
So, we start with the second case - the genitive,as the nominative usually does not cause difficulties. The first line highlighted the word "no." This is an auxiliary word for the genitive case. We say the word "no", and the questions suggest themselves: "What or who does not?"
The next line gives us the auxiliary word "dam", and we know that after the genitive there is a dative case. By analogy with the previous case, we say “I will give” and continue: “To whom or what?”
Further, the word “see” prompts questions: “Who or what?” This is the accusative case. “Not happy” - “Whom or what?” - is authoritative. “Thinks” - “About whom or what?” - prepositional.
So, the cases have learned, the questions are remembered. Now a more difficult topic: the distribution of nouns by declination. Usually, the school begins to learn the declension of nouns with 1 declination.
You can again resort to the rhyme-cram.
Tanya, Peter and Arish,
Misha, Tolya, Vasya, Grisha -
At the end there is "A" and "I" -
This is my whole family!
It follows from the quatrain that words 1 with the endings "A" and "I" of both masculine and feminine belong to the 1st declension.
Genus nouns should be attributed to 2 declensions. It also includes masculine nouns without endings. And, of course, to help - rhyme-cram:
A horse galloped on a cloud,
Goose flew over the lake.
In the field the breeze was naughty,
A boy in a saucer poured tea.
The third declension should include nouns ending in “b”, feminine, without endings.
The writing usually causes particular difficulty in writing case endings in nouns 1 declension. For tips, you can use the "doll".
В сомнительных случаях подставляем слово «кукла», and if “Y” sounds, we write bravely “I”, since this is probably a genitive case, and if we don’t hear “Y”, then we need to write “E” in the end. By the way, in the word "doll", too.
In the second declination, we check the endings of the “horse”, just to remember that there is an analogue of a hard end.
With adjectives, the situation is even simpler.Declaring adjectives is a simple matter. The case of them corresponds to the case of the noun to which they relate, and the ending is checked by the question: what is the question's question, so will the adjective.
