Ochilgan belgi bilan yopiladi

42-darsda ko'rdik: qo'shimcha bo'lakni vergul, tire yoki qavs ajratadi. Endi ular haqidagi eng qat'iy qoida:

📝 Namuna:

Qo'shimcha qaysi belgi bilan ochilgan bo'lsa, aynan o'sha belgi bilan yopiladi. Aralashtirish mumkin emas.

⏱ ~20 soniya

Nega bu shu qadar foydali

Bu qoida imtihondagi eng arzon ballardan birini beradi, chunki uni tekshirish uchun gapni tushunish shart emas.

1. Bo'sh joyda vergul, tire yoki qavs bormi?

2. Gapning boshiga qaytib qarang — o'sha belgilardan biri ochilganmi?

3. Ochilgan bo'lsa — javob o'sha belgi. Ikkinchi qadamda gapning ma'nosi umuman kerak emas.

⚠️ Tuzoq: SAT bu tuzoqni ataylab uzoq qo'shimcha bilan qo'yadi: ochilgan belgi bilan bo'sh joy orasida o'n-o'n besh so'z bo'ladi, va o'quvchi boshidagi vergulni unutadi. Har doim boshiga qayting.
