How to use pause:

The Chinese syllabus for primary schools requires fourth-grade students to learn to use pauses.

Like a comma, a pause means a pause in a sentence. The difference between it and comma is that it is only used between coordinate components in a sentence, and pause is equivalent to a conjunction? And then what? , that is, the place to pause, can generally be used? And then what? Words; However, why? And then what? Not all places can be changed to pause.

What is a coordinate component? Words used in sentences, phrases and sentences larger than words, are in the same position, belong to the narrative object, or belong to other things, which are called coordinate components.

For example:

1. There is a sewing basket on the small stool in front, and scissors, thread balls, cloth ends and sewing kits are placed in the basket.

("Primary School Chinese" Volume 5 "Zhou's Pajamas")

Gansu, Qinghai, Shaanxi and other provinces use electricity from here.

("Primary School Chinese" Volume 8 "Visiting Liujiaxia Hydropower Station")

There are all kinds of wild flowers on the grass, red, white, yellow and purple, which really looks like a beautiful big flower bed.

(Beautiful Xiaoxing 'anling, Primary School Chinese Volume 5)

4. The more you look at Xing 'an Mountain, the cuter it is! Its beauty is integrated with architecture, and its beauty is not empty. It makes people feel kind and comfortable.

(Book 11 of Primary School Chinese, Lin Hai)

The seabed is really a world with strange scenery and rich products.

(Primary Chinese Book 6 Underwater World)

6. Keeping a diary can improve your observation ability, cognitive ability and composition ability.

("Primary Chinese" Volume VI Basic Training VII)

7. There are many strange stones in Huangshan Mountain, like? See the moon? 、? Lions grab the ball? 、? Fairy plays the piano? Those strange stones that can't be named are waiting for you to name them!

(Primary School "Chinese" Volume 4 "Huangshan Strange Stone")

For example 1? Scissors, thread balls, cloth ends, sewing kits? Four kinds of objects coexist in the basket, which is a parallel relationship; As words, their positions in this sentence are also juxtaposed. So there is a pause between them. What is the third pause? And then what? Word substitution. Example 2? Gansu, Qinghai and Shaanxi? , is a coordinate geographical unit, and it is also a coordinate relationship in the sentence, so there is a pause between the two. In example 3? Red, white, yellow and purple? It is several colors tied together, with a pause in the middle. In example 4? Kind and comfortable? , is a kind of psychological feeling and experience, is a kind of parallel relationship, so there is a pause between them. 、

Examples of pause usage:

Example 1? The coordinate elements in Example 4 are all represented by words.

In example 5,? Strange scenery and rich products? It is an evaluation of the underwater world, a parallel relationship, and a parallel position in this sentence, so there is a pause between the two. In example 6? Observation ability, cognitive ability, composition ability? As an ability, it exists side by side, and as a phrase, its position in this sentence is also side by side. So they use pauses between them.

The coordinate elements in Examples 5 and 6 are no longer words, but phrases composed of multiple words, such as? Strange scenery? By who? Scenery? And then what? Strange? Two words? Writing ability? By who? Composition? And then what? Ability? It consists of two words. This form of composition that is larger than words and smaller than sentences is called? Phrases

In example 7,? Dogs watch the moon, lions grab the ball and fairies play the piano? They are different rock names, each of which is a complete sentence, but in Example 7, they lose their independence as sentences and become three juxtaposed small components of one component in a big sentence. So they also use pauses between them. Words with quotation marks can also be separated without pause. )

Pause means a slight pause, the pause time is relative to other symbols, and the pause time indicated by the symbols of sentence marks (period, question mark and exclamation mark) is slightly longer; The symbols in the sentence (pause, comma, semicolon) indicate a shorter pause. In the pause within a sentence, the pause symbol indicates the shortest pause, the semicolon is the longest, and the comma is in the middle. The following examples can reflect the requirements of this provision:

8. The food, vegetables, fruits and meat we eat, the cotton, linen, wool and silk we wear, and the firewood we burn are all closely related to the sun.

("Primary School Chinese" Volume 8, Sun)

9. Without the sun, the earth is dark and cold everywhere. Without wind, snow, rain and dew, grass, trees, birds and animals, there will naturally be no one.

In example 8,? Food, clothes and burning? These three parts are separated by commas, and? Food? In this small part? Food, vegetables, fruit, meat? Use pauses to separate them. Dressed? In this small part? Cotton, hemp, wool and silk? There is a pause in the middle. Obviously, the comma pause is greater than the pause. In example 9? No, no. Use a comma between and each? No? Use a pause between the juxtaposed components, and the pause of the pause is less than a comma.

As I said before, pause is equivalent to? And then what? Words. Generally speaking, if the coordinate component consists of two words or phrases, use pause or? And then what? Any word will do; If the coordinate component consists of three or more words, don't use it? And then what? Words can also be used (such as Example 8 and Example 9). Do you want to use them? And then what? Words must be used between the last two juxtaposed words. ? And then what? The word replaces a pause (as in Example 6).

However, not all coordinate components can be used? And then what? Words instead of pauses, for example:

10. The girl bent down and held it in her hand, which was heavy and shiny and burned her eyes.

(Six-year primary school textbook Chinese Volume 8 "Diamonds")

For example, between coordinate components in 10, only pause can be used, not pause? And then what? Words. If you change the pause? And then what? Words are not easy to read.

Pause signs are used between coordinate components, but pause signs are not necessarily used between coordinate components, some can use commas, and some can be omitted because of their close relationship. For example:

1 1. East, west, north and south are roads.

12. Up and down, inside and out, all by yourself.

For example, 1 1? East, west, north and south? This is a coordinate component. For example 12? Up and down, inside and out? It is also a coordinate component, but because of its close relationship, it cannot be paused. If you add a pause, it will destroy the original effect.

13. At that time, I was still young, so I could only help my grandmother clean the table and sweep the floor. She won't let me do anything else.

("Primary School Chinese" Volume 5 "Relatives")

For example 13? Wipe the table? And then what? Sweep the floor? Is a coordinate component, because of the close relationship, so there is no pause.

Time-out also has a special purpose. Used after the ordinal number of an entry to indicate a pause, such as Xinhua Dictionary. Explain? This is how parts are used.

1. This dictionary is reprinted according to 1990.

This dictionary is a small Chinese reference book for readers with secondary education.

(Xinhua Dictionary Commercial Press? Description ")

This usage of pause only means pause, which is not used in many books. For example, the Chinese textbook for nine-year compulsory education published by People's Education Publishing House has no punctuation after the directory ordinal. Use a dot after the directory ordinal of a math book.

You must pay attention to the following three points when applying pause:

(a) must be correctly grasped? Parallel relationship? Words, phrases and sentences. If you don't do this, the pause will not work, and even if you do, you will make mistakes. For example:

14. There are fish, shrimp, shellfish and various seaweeds in the shallow sea, such as kelp, laver and agar.

(Students' homework)

15. The little monkey was busy for a long time, but he didn't get any corn, peaches, watermelons or rabbits.

(Students' homework)

Example 14 is the suspension of basic training II in Book 7 of Chinese for nine-year compulsory education. Some students added a pause, such as 14. What if? Fish, shrimp, shellfish and seaweed? Appear at the same time, can constitute a draw, that is? There are fish, shrimp, shellfish and seaweed in the shallow sea. ? What if? Fish, shrimp, shellfish, kelp, seaweed, seaweed? Appear at the same time, can also constitute a parallel, that is? Are there fish, shrimp, shellfish, kelp, laver and cauliflower in the shallow sea? . Because,? Seaweed? Contain? Kelp seaweed? And then what? Gelidium? ,? Seaweed? With what? Kelp, seaweed, seaweed? You can't form a parallel relationship. The correct punctuation should be:

There are fish, shrimp and shellfish in the shallow sea, as well as various seaweeds, such as kelp, laver and seaweed.

In the sentence? Yes What else is there? Is it a conjunction? what's up With what? What else is there? Commas should be used in. If you use pause, it will make? Fish, shrimp and shellfish? With what? And all kinds of seaweed? It is obviously wrong to constitute juxtaposition.

Example 15' s mistake is caused by this: what do the students who punctuate think? Rabbit? And then what? Corn? 、? Peach? 、? Watermelon? what's up Animals? And then what? Plants? The difference between, do not belong to the same kind, can not be tied, so in? Rabbit? It is preceded by a comma. This classmate didn't understand what it meant. The coordinate elements in the sentence? .

(2) Although they are words in a coordinate relationship, they are closely related or have solidified into phrases. If it is not for special emphasis, there is no need to add a pause between them, which will make the sentence loose. It has been analyzed before. Another example? Seventy or eighty workers, peasants, soldiers, farmers, industry and commerce? Words tied equally should not be split into garton symbols.

(3) Use pause to analyze whether the sentence will be truncated and cause ambiguity. In other words, to obey the demand, you can't just add numbers when you see the juxtaposition. For example:

16. We should strengthen the education of loving the motherland, hating the enemy, despising and caring for the collective.

Example 16 means:? Strengthen the education of loving the motherland, despising and hating the enemy and caring for the collective? . In other words, the coordinate components of this sentence have two levels:? Love for the motherland, contempt and hatred for the enemy, and concern for the collective? The coordinate components belonging to the first level are composed of the first pause and? And then what? Words to mark? Despise? And then what? Hate it? what's up To the enemy? The juxtaposition of elements belongs to the second level. Example 16 did not pay attention to these two aspects in the use of pause. Pause when you see the coordinate elements, which confuses the sentence level. Despise and care about the collective? It is easy to be understood as a whole and despise and care about the collective, which obviously leads to ambiguity. So? Hate it? With what? Despise? The pause between should be deleted.

Pause occupies the position of a word in writing, so it must be written after the previous paragraph, not at the beginning of a line independently.
