6. Spelling of derivative prepositions.
Derivative prepositions are formed by the transition of nouns in different case forms, adverbs and participles into another part of speech. In this case, the spelling of the word may change.
To distinguish a derivative preposition from a homonymous independent part of speech, you should see if you can ask a question to the word or if the word itself is part of the question.
For example:
Walk (how?) around (adverb). Walk (around what?) around the house (derived preposition).
If you can ask a question by the way, then this independent part speech, but if the word itself is part of the question, this is a derivative preposition.
Writing prepositions: on the contrary, in front, near, inside, around, along, near, according to, around, about, due to, during, in continuation, in conclusion, due to, in view of, thanks to, despite, despite.
It is necessary to distinguish between a derivative preposition and an adverb to meet and a noun with a preposition to meet. If it is a noun, then a word can be inserted between it and the preposition:
Run (how?) towards (adverb). Run (towards what?) towards the wind (derived preposition). Run to a meeting with a friend (noun with a preposition, as you can: Run to a long-awaited meeting with a friend).
The spelling of derivative prepositions and homonymous independent parts may coincide (towards - towards) or may differ. It should be remembered:
Remember: keep in mind.
7. Prepositions because of, over, under, over are always written with a hyphen.
8. Spelling unions.
Unions also, too, in order to, but should be distinguished from homonymous combinations in the same way, the same, whatever, for that. Unions also, too, so that they can be replaced by synonymous and, in order to. Union but is synonymous with union but.
For example:
He/she was also late. (= and he was late)
He is small in stature, but handsome. (= He is small but handsome.)
In homonymous combinations, particles and would be omitted or rearranged to another place. In addition, in such combinations, logical stress always falls on pronouns:
The same word, but not so to say. (That word, but not to say so.) In combination, there is always a clarification for what.
I am grateful to him for the fact (for what exactly?) That he believed me.
Remember: no matter what.
9. Spelling of adverbs and nouns with prepositions, pronouns with prepositions.
Adverbs such as up, down, away, up, headlong, following, therefore, etc. should be distinguished from homonymous combinations of nouns with a preposition. If these words do not have dependent words, they are adverbs, if dependent words are nouns with a preposition.
For example:
look up (adverb) - look up (what?) at home (noun with a preposition); go away (adverb) - fly away into the distance (what?) of heaven (noun with a preposition).
Brief comment on this topic
The basic principle of continuous and separate writing is the selection of words in writing. Parts of words are written together, words are separated by spaces. The application of this rule is hampered by the fact that combinations of words and whole words are not always clearly opposed in the language (for example, combinations with a particle not and words with a prefix not, combinations of nouns with prepositions and adverbs formed from such combinations).
There is a third type of spelling - hyphenated, or semi-fused. A hyphen can separate a word into parts (for example, firebird, light green, in a new way, because of, all in, firstly, someone) and, conversely, connect parts of a phrase (for example, a science fiction writer , cunning, cunning, unexpectedly, unexpectedly, two or three).
The main rules of this section are divided into general and related to individual parts of speech.
