When a soft character is not spelled

Soft sign is an unusual letter. It does not mean any sound, but in Russian it is very necessary. Indicates the softness of consonants in writing and is used as a separator. It happens like this: a consonant in a word is heard as soft, but you do not need to write a soft sign after it.

There are two amazing letters in the Russian alphabet - a soft sign and a hard sign. They themselves do not denote any sounds. But they affect the neighboring ones.

A soft sign performs two important functions in Russian. It denotes the softness of the previous consonant and is used as a separator.

Sometimes a soft sign in a word is heard, but not spelled. And vice versa

It is difficult to remember all the rules and exceptions, but I really want to write competently. It turns out that learning this is not at all difficult.

Soft sign after sizzling

You do not need a soft sign after the singular second declens hissing in the nouns (reeds, garage), the first and second declensions in the plural genitive (puddles, skis) and in short masculine adjectives that answer the question “what?”. For example: fresh - fresh, similar - similar. In adverbs with a consonant at the end (already, married, unbearable) a soft sign is also not used, but it should be written wide in the word wide.

A soft sign is not written in the pronouns “ours”, “yours”, in the particle “already” and the preposition “between”.
