Olmosh qaysi otni almashtiryapti?

Olmosh — otning o'rnini bosuvchi so'z. U almashtirgan ot antecedent deyiladi, va qoida bitta:

📝 Namuna:

Olmosh o'zining antecedent'i bilan son bo'yicha mos kelishi shart.
Birlik ot → it · its. Ko'plik ot → they · them · their.

O'zbek tilida bu muammo umuman yo'q: u ham kishiga, ham narsaga, ham birlikka ishlatiladi. Shuning uchun bu mavzu bizning quloq uchun butunlay yangi mashina — uni faqat ko'z bilan tekshirib o'rganish mumkin.

⏱ ~25 soniya

Uch qadam

1. Olmoshni toping — bo'sh joyda its/their/it/them turibdi.

2. Barmog'ingizni antecedent'ga qo'ying. «Nima its? Nima their?» deb so'rang va javob bo'lgan otni aniq ko'rsating.

3. Sonini sanang. O'sha otning o'zi birlikmi yoki ko'plikmi — yonidagi boshqa otlar emas.

⚠️ Tuzoq: Uchta ot doim adashtiradi:
• each · every · either · neither + ot → birlik (each of the museums … its);
• jamoa otlari (the committee · the company · the team) amerikacha yozuvda → birlik;
• predlogli birikma ichidagi ko'plik ot (a list of names) — u antecedent emas.

Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?

  1. their
  2. its
  3. them
  4. theirs

1-qadam: bo'sh joyda egalik olmoshi turibdi — ___ best piece.

2-qadam: kimning eng yaxshi asari? Each ning. Ya'ni antecedent — Each (of them), museums emas.

3-qadam: each har doim birlik — «har biri», bittalab.

TO‘G‘RIits — birlik egalik olmoshi — each ga mos. «Har bir muzey o'zining eng yaxshi asarini yuboradi.»
TUZOQtheir — bu darsning bosh tuzog'i: museums yoki them ga moslashgan. Ular gapda bor, lekin egalik each ga tegishli.
TUZOQthem — to'ldiruvchi shakli — otdan oldin egalikni bildira olmaydi (them best piece yo'q).
TUZOQtheirs — mustaqil egalik olmoshi: u otsiz turadi (the piece is theirs), otdan oldin emas.
📌 Eslatma: each · every · either · neither · one · another — beshovi ham birlik, ulardan keyin nechta ot kelishidan qat'i nazar. Each of the twelve museums hali ham «bitta muzey, o'n ikki marta».

A wind turbine's blades are hollow shells of glass fibre, each one as long as a tennis court and stiffened inside by a spar that runs almost the whole length. When a blade cracks near the root, has to be lifted down by a crane taller than the tower itself, and the repair is often done on the grass below.

Neither of the two rivers that meet below the town carries much silt on its own, and in a dry summer both run almost clear. Where they join, however, combined load is enough to close the navigation channel every few years, and a dredger is kept moored at the confluence for that reason.

A leafcutter colony may have fifty separate entrance holes scattered over half a hectare of forest floor. Workers move between along trails that they clear of leaf litter and keep open for years, and a large trail can be worn two centimetres deep into the soil.

The orchestra now rehearses in a converted chapel, the market hall it had used for forty years having been sold to a supermarket chain in 2019. has since raised half the money needed to buy the chapel outright, almost all of it from households within a mile of the building.
