Spelling is not a rule with adverbs. How is “not” written with adverbs? Rules for combined and separate writing
September 8, 2016(Not) far away there is a wonderful forest,
Full of secrets and wonders.
It’s (not) bad to take a walk in it
(Not) to get lost for long.
This poem will help us identify the problem: combined and separate writing is not with adverbs.
Adverbs
There are words in the Russian language that are used to denote a sign of an action, an object or a sign of a sign. They are called adverbs. Below are examples Not together and separately with adverbs. For example, with adverbs of manner: 
- looks cheerful, sad;
- greeted joyfully, joylessly;
- I listen carefully, inattentively.
with adverbs of measure and degree:
- very, not very much;
- too (not too) weak;
- more than (not more than) enough.
with adverbs of time: 
- came out long ago (recently);
- I’ll write tomorrow (not tomorrow);
- Let's get together in the evening (not in the evening).
with adverbs of place:
- here (not here) we will gather;
- far (not far) was;
- I looked from the inside (not from the inside).
Here are examples Not together and separately with adverbs: not bad, not far - not bad at all, not far at all. What does this depend on? We can learn this from the rules governing this spelling.
Adverbs are written together and can be replaced by synonyms.
Synonyms are words that can replace each other in a sentence. If this is possible Not written together with an adverb:
- You performed well yesterday (good)
- Come to the rehearsal at the Hudson club, it’s not far (close).
- He began to sing quietly (quietly).
If it is difficult to replace with a synonym, you can use the expression:
- This will not happen soon (after a long time).
- The concert did not last long (short time).
- The boy answered hesitantly (without confidence).
Adverbs that are not used without “not” are written together with “not”.
More examples of words that are not written together: sloppy, indignant, hateful.
The continuous spelling in this case is explained by the fact that the word is without Not cannot be used. For example:
- My deputy treated his duties carelessly.
- He waved his hands somehow absurdly.
- The entertainer looked nondescript, at first glance.
Negative adverbs are written together with “not”
Integrated and separate writing Not with adverbs often depends on the part of speech. For example, you should always write together with Not negative pronouns:
- Our team has nowhere to conduct rehearsals.
- There was no need to strive for anything more.
- The city was foreign, there were no acquaintances, there was even nowhere to go.
Adverbs are written separately if there is opposition
If you think about it, and there are examples Not together and separately with the same adverbs, it is necessary to pay attention to whether or not there is opposition in the sentence. It can be expressed by the adversative conjunction “a”, or it can only be implied and not expressed in any way. When there is a contrast, the adverb with “not” is written separately.
- I then had to act not honestly, but humanely.
- Contrary to his expectations, the meeting was not boring, but fun.
- The children were not quiet - they were noisy.
If there are some words, adverbs are written separately from “not”
An adverb must be written separately from “not” if any of the following words relate to it: at all, not at all, not at all, never, at all, far. Although without this word it will be written together.
Examples of “not” together and separately with adverbs |
|
apart | |
His assumption turned out to be far from correct. | His assumption turned out to be wrong. |
It wasn't cold outside at all. | It turned out to be completely cold outside. |
What he said was not funny at all. | He didn't tell it funny. |
I felt myself that my joke was not at all smart. | I felt myself that I was making a stupid joke. |
With some adverbs, “not” is always written separately
It must be said that “not” is written separately with almost all adverbs, except those ending in -о and -е, those without Not not used, and negative.
If you know how to spell Not with adverbs, examples of which are given in the table, then all the rest should simply be written separately:
- not in a friendly way;
- not right away;
- not everywhere;
- not always;
- Single.
Exceptions: not without reason, lack of time, reluctantly, for a reason, not far away.

Often when writing articles and essays, people have a question: how do you spell “not” with adverbs?
The Russian language is great and powerful, and sometimes it’s difficult to remember all the rules. It is not always possible to carry a textbook or reference book with you. In the article we will analyze frequently encountered examples and recall the rule for writing “not” with adverbs.
Rule for writing “not” with adverbs
“Not” is written together when:
- The word without “not” is not used.
- It is easy to find a synonym for the word.
- The word has a negative meaning.
- A denominative adverb is used, which is not used without “not”.
“Not” is written separately if:
- There is a contrast.
- Between “not” and the word you can insert the words: not at all, not at all, far.
- The word is written with a hyphen.
- There is a comparative degree.
- With the circumstances of the time.
- The word is formed from an adjective and ends with –o, –e.
Examples of combined spelling of “not” with adverbs
- Cases when a word is not used without "Not":
- Definitely– the word “definitely” does not exist in Russian.
I certainly I want to see you at my wedding!
- Immediately– in Russian speech there is no word “slowly”, so this is the case when it is not used without “not”.
As soon as Alexander arrives, immediately call me.
- Reluctantly– the adverb “although” does not exist.
I reluctantly did this job.
- Not fun– if the word is not written without “not”. There are no particles: at all, not at all, far away and there is no opposition with the conjunction “a”, which means we use it together.
I was n fun at the party.
- Unbearable- written together if it has a meaning: heavy, difficult, painful.
The exam was in progress unbearable for a long time(state category – painful).
- Can not hear
He came up to me Can not hear. He came up to me silently.
- Immediately
Immediately give back my tapes! Fast give back my tapes!
- Slowly– if a word can be replaced with a synonym without “not”, we use it together.
Young woman slowly walked through the city. Young woman slowly walked through the city.
- Not difficult
I was not difficult do all the work for you. I was easily to do work.
- Quietly
He said quietly. He said quiet.
- Uncomfortable- written together if you can find words that are similar in meaning: awkward, shameful, bad.
I was uncomfortable talk to him. I was awkward talk to him.
- Leisurely– is always used together, with the exception of variants using particles: not at all, not at all, far.
Student leisurely went to class. The student was going to class slowly.
- Inadvertently– a word without “not” is not used, you can choose a word with a similar meaning.
He inadvertently offended Sasha. He accidentally offended Sasha.
- Sloppy - an adverb with the prefix “not” ending in –o is written together if it has an affirmative negative form.
The seam is done sloppy. Redo it!
- No need– if we add the question “why?” and the meaning of the answer will be a meaningless action, we can safely use it in continuous writing.
To me no need go to the shop. I have everything!
Examples of separate spelling of “not” with adverbs
- “Not” is always written separately:
- Do not mind
Kate do not mind go to Paris.
- Not completely – intensifying adverb, always separate .
Vasya, you not completely revealed the topic of the essay.

We not right away realized what happened.

I not always against your gatherings.
- Not really - the intensifying particle is used separately.
I not really I understand what you want from me.
- Not on purpose
I not on purpose spilled milk.
- Can not see - negative form.
Can not see that you are sick.

Not only you may be afraid of the dark.
- Not in a friendly way
You got in not in a friendly way, leaving me in trouble.
- Not in a friendly way
This not in a friendly way, leaving friends in trouble.
- Not very fast- ends in -o. In opposition it is written separately.
Not very fast We got there, but slowly.
- Not far away - denominate form.
I saw him not far away.
- Not ideal - written separately if there is opposition or particles: not at all, not at all.
You didn't make a sketch Not perfect, redraw.
If you encounter difficulties when writing a particular adverb, remember the rule of contrasting and replacing a word with a synonym. If it is replaced, we use it together, you can put the conjunction “a” - we write it separately.
(Not) far away there is a wonderful forest,
Full of secrets and wonders.
It’s (not) bad to take a walk in it
(Not) to get lost for long.
This poem will help us identify the problem: combined and separate writing is not with adverbs.
