Instruction manual
one
The need to select test words arises if the vowel or consonant is in a weak position, i.e. the spelling does not match the pronunciation. This is the difficulty of learning the Russian language.
2
The vowel is in a weak position in an unstressed position. Therefore, in order to check the spelling of an unstressed vowel in the root of a word, you must change its shape or pick up cognate words so that the vowel is in a strong position, i.e. under stress. For example, in the word "place" you need to check the spelling of the vowel in the root. Change the shape of the word. Thus, if you pay attention, in the word "place" the vowel sound is fundamentally heard clearly, and you can safely write the letter "e" in the word "place".
3
In some words with unstressed vowels, the spelling cannot be verified by selecting test words. In this apply for a hint to the spelling dictionary. Such spellings must be remembered.
4
If you doubt the spelling of the consonant in the root, then you also need to select test words. This can be done, as in the case of vowels, by selecting cognate words or by changing the grammatical form so that after the consonant there is a vowel. This is a strong position for a consonant. For example, you need to check the spelling of the consonant in the root in the word "honest". Change the shape of the word. This can be done by using the adjective in short form. You pick up the word "honest", which will be a test, as the letter "t" is heard clearly in it.
5
Be aware that not all spelling consonants can be verified by selecting test words. In some cases, you will have to look again at the spelling dictionary. For example, the word “ladder” cannot be verified using test words. Its spelling must be remembered.
