Both options are valid: Genitive more often used if the object is an abstract noun or has a connotation of uncertainty (wait for letters, wait for (some) train); accusative - if the addition is animate or has a connotation of certainty (waiting for one woman, waiting for the Simferopol-Moscow train).
According to the rules of the Russian language, in endings after hissing words it is written without stress E, and under stress - ABOUT. The correct form will be KambOjay.
Yes, a comma is needed, this is a subordinate clause.

This word is a highly specialized term and is not recorded in spelling dictionaries of the Russian language. However, the reference book “Together or Separately” by B.Z. Bukchina and L.P. Kalakutskaya recommends writing with a hyphen several other words with the first part redox(except for the word redoxmetry and its derivatives). We can recommend writing an adjective with a hyphen by analogy: redox active.
The choice depends on speaking style and context. In strictly official documents It is more correct to use a masculine word - manager, in other cases the feminine gender is recommended.
IN book speech prepositions are used in order to And with the aim of. The first is combined only with verbal nouns (for the purpose of implementation, clarification, etc.), and the second - with verbal nouns (for the purpose of implementation, clarification, etc.), and with an infinitive (for the purpose of implementation, clarification, etc.).

No, last name Shapiro does not decline like other surnames -O.
The first word is written in capitals, the rest - in lowercase: Labour Day.
Yes, numeral ninety complex because it contains two roots.
What is correct in this case is unsuggestive control: express gratitude to you.
Roast- verbal adjective, so one letter is written N: grilled meat. But if there are dependent words nearby, then we will have a participle in front of us, which will require writing NN: fried (in a frying pan, without oil, with seasonings, etc.) meat.
The participle agrees with the word it defines in gender, number and case. Noun face in this case has the form dative case - face, which means that the participle will also have the form of the dative case: person replacing him.
The first part does not bow, but the second does: admiral general, admiral general, (about) admiral general, admiral general.
Correct without quotes: Krasnenkoe estate.
Correct spelling with one letter P: shopping.
Both options for the form of the predicate are possible. The choice is influenced by factors such as the activity of the subject of the sentence (with an active subject, the plural form is more often used), the position of the subject in relation to the predicate (with preposition, the singular form is more often used).
In this case, in absence- this is a preposition, at the end it is written E. Letter AND written at the end of a noun: No one answered his call; he saw the absence of the owners as a bad sign..

No, if the name of the month follows the date, you should not use an extension. If the word order were different or the name of the month were omitted, then the use of an extension would be possible, for example: in May, on the 1st; from May 17 to May 21.
IN this word emphasis is variable: simultaneously And simultaneously.
Yes, all surnames and given names ending in -a unstressed with a preceding consonant are declined regardless of their linguistic affiliation.

This combination contains speech redundancy. You can say for the benefit of the country or for the prosperity of the country.
No, according to the rule, quotation marks are not needed, although they are often placed in texts if the writer has reason to believe that their absence will make it difficult correct understanding. For example: Direct line with the President of Russia, but: The “direct line” has passed. We successfully carried out a “straight line”. By the way, it behaves similarly in writing phrase round table: A round table was held with the participation of representatives of the concerned department, but: Excuse me, where is the “round table”?
No, there is no need to put a comma, since the participle is closely related in meaning to grammatical basis sentences and performs the function of an adverbial manner of action (without thinking, that is, without thinking).
How do you know where to put commas and where there is no need for it? This punctuation mark is important tool for the design of written speech. Often it is he who helps to understand the meaning invested by the author in the text. Commas are placed according to certain rules that are easy to remember. So, why not remember your school lessons?
Historical reference
How to figure out where to put commas? People have been asking this question for more than a millennium. The sign that performs the function of a comma was invented by the famous ancient Greek philosopher Aristophanes of Byzantium. This happened back in the third century BC. Even then, humanity desperately needed to clarify written language.
Aristophanes of Byzantium came up with a system of punctuation marks that is very far from modern punctuation. He used special points, which had to be placed depending on how the phrase was pronounced when reading. They could be located at the bottom, middle or top of the line. The function of the comma in those days was assigned to the period in the middle.
The sign that is used today is derived from the fraction symbol. The modern comma is a mini-copy of the one used from the 13th to the 17th centuries to indicate a pause.
How to know where to put commas
So, how to quickly and easily learn the rules and stop making mistakes? How to figure out where to put commas and where they are not needed? To begin with, you should remember that this punctuation mark serves to isolate and highlight:
- introductory words, clarifications;
- definitions;
- interjections;
- participial and participial phrases;
- appeals;
- circumstances.
Of course, that's not all. Punctuation can also be used to separate:
- homogeneous members of the sentence;
- between indirect and direct speech;
- between parts of a complex, compound and complex sentence.
Commas can be single or double. Singles break a sentence into parts, fixing the boundaries of these parts. This punctuation mark is needed, for example, when it is necessary to indicate two simple parts in complex sentence. Paired commas can be used, say, to highlight participial and participial phrases and introductory words.
The meaning of the sentence
The meaning of the sentence will help you understand where to put commas. After all, punctuation marks are used precisely in order to convey it correctly. If a comma is in the wrong place in a sentence, the meaning is inevitably distorted.
For example: “In the afternoon I entertained my sister, who was sick, by reading aloud”; “Elizabeth, with whom I had a fight a few days ago, walked towards me with a cheerful face”; “I gladly accepted the invitation of Anton, whom I had not seen for many days.” Commas are not where they should be or are missing, so the meaning changes. The person who reads the text does not understand what the author wanted to say.
Before unions
To avoid making mistakes, you need to remember the conjunctions that are preceded by this punctuation mark. When, where, what, because, since - just a few of them.
Suppose the sentence uses the conjunction “since.” Where to put commas? Examples help to understand this. Let's say: “Nikolai is delayed because he doesn’t have time to get ready”; “Svetlana will not come because she has urgent matters”; “Ksenia did something she had never done before”; “Vladimir answered in a way that no one before him could. The teacher gave him the highest score.”
Let's say that the sentence contains the conjunction “because”. Where to put commas? It is easy to give examples in this case as well. Let's say: “Alexander was not at the meeting because he is on a business trip”; “Elena failed the task because everyone refused to help her”; “Nicholas refused to marry a rich bride because he didn’t like her at all.” A comma can also be placed between the words “because” and “that.” For example: “The windows were open because voices on the street were clearly audible in the apartment.” This sentence confirms that the windows are indeed open. There is another example: “The windows were open because it was very hot in the apartment.” This sentence explains the reason that prompted them to be opened.
Independent part of a sentence
How do you know where to put commas in a sentence? With the help of this punctuation mark, its independent part is highlighted. How to find her? If the meaning of a sentence is preserved after some part is removed from it, then it is independent. Introductory sentences, participial phrases must be separated by commas.
For example: “Yesterday I was told that my brother Dmitry, returning from Paris, felt unwell.” If you cross out participial turnover“returning from Paris”, the meaning of the sentence will remain virtually unchanged.
What other example can you give? “Today Stanislav learned that his girlfriend, passing by his house, did not come to visit him.”
Introductory words
Where should commas be placed if there are introductory words in the sentence? By the way, imagine, fortunately, of course, by the way - just some of them. The rules of the Russian language say to highlight them with commas on both sides.
For example: “By the way, I always knew that this would happen”; “Dmitry, fortunately, has already overcome his illness”; “Anastasia, just imagine, decided not to come visit us”; “Marina, by the way, has been involved in this for several years now sports club».
Appeal
The address is also always separated by commas in the sentence. It is not always located at the beginning; it can be located in the middle or even at the end.
For example: “Are you coming to visit us this week, Lydia?”; “More than anything else, Margarita, I love to read”; “Alexandra, how do you feel about this plan?”
Comparative turnover
Where to put commas? The rules of the Russian language dictate the use of these punctuation marks to highlight comparative phrases. As if, how, precisely, what, than, rather than are conjunctions that make them easy to detect in a sentence.
For example: “I play the guitar better than her”; “He runs like he’s been training for a marathon for the past few years”; “It was safer to travel at night than during the day,” “I often visit Moscow, like many other cities in Russia.”
We must not forget about the existence of exceptions. Comparative turnover are not indicated by commas when we are talking about phraseological units, stable expressions. For example: “Cuts like clockwork”; “It’s pouring like buckets,” “It’s stuck like a bath leaf”; "Make yourself at home".
Between homogeneous members
Homogeneous members of a sentence will not always share this punctuation mark. How do you know where to put commas and where not to? However, but, and, but, yes - conjunctions in which this means of punctuation is necessary.
A comma is placed between homogeneous members if they are connected by repeated conjunctions (or...or, or...or, and...and, not that...not that). For example: “In the apartment the light went out and then came on again.” This punctuation mark is not needed when using single conjunctions or, either, yes, and.
Complexity can be created by heterogeneous and homogeneous definitions. A comma is used if the sentence contains homogeneous definitions. Let's say: “an exciting, interesting action movie.” However, this punctuation mark is not needed if heterogeneous definitions are used. For example: “a Hollywood thriller.” “Hollywood” refers to the place where it was created, while “spectacular” expresses the impression.
Participial
Where is the correct place to put commas when talking about sentences with participial phrases? Participles are indicated by this punctuation mark only in those cases when they are located after the word they are defining. We are talking about the word from which to participial phrase the question is asked. Let's say: “a brother who was surprised at my arrival,” “a friend who was delighted at the news,” “a mother who found out everything,” “an apple tree that grew in the garden.”
Coordinating Conjunctions
This punctuation mark is necessary in a complex sentence that contains coordinating conjunctions. The rules say to put it in front of them. Yes and, either, and, or, yes are examples of such unions.
The most important thing is to correctly understand where the beginning of one sentence and the end of another are. This is easy to do by identifying the subject and predicate. Separating by meaning will also help.
For example: “It rained all day, and the wind continued to rustle outside the window”; “They worked for a long time, but they finished all the work.”
Opposing alliances
Before contrastive conjunctions (a, yes, but), this punctuation mark is necessary in all cases. For example: “His relatives and friends had high hopes for Evgeniy, but he failed to live up to them”; “It rained in the morning, but by lunchtime the weather improved”; “Your friend wants to talk to you, and you need this conversation.”
What else do you need to know
What else can you tell us about where to put commas in accordance with the rules of the Russian language? Using this punctuation mark, interjections, negative, interrogative and affirmative words are highlighted. Let's say: “Life, alas, does not last forever, sooner or later a person dies,” “Certainly, Alexander will join us for dinner today, since he promised me to do so”; “Isn’t it true that Victoria is very pretty? After all, you like this girl too?”, “Undoubtedly, Anatoly will go to trip around the world this week. I learned about this from him himself,” “I hope Timofey does not harbor a grudge.”
Interjections should not be confused with the particles ah, oh, well, which serve to enhance the connotation. For example: “Oh, what a guy he is!”; “Why is Alexander behaving so badly!”; “Oh, how tired I am, I worked all day today without rest.” It is also necessary to be able to distinguish the particle o, which is used when addressing. Let's say: “Oh mountains, mountains!”; "Oh fields, endless fields."
Conclusion
Punctuation errors can distort the meaning of the text more than spelling errors. The latter can always be passed off as a typo, while missing a comma or using it in the wrong place will not allow the reader to understand what the author wanted to say.
It is understanding the meaning that allows you to place punctuation marks correctly. Of course, it is important to remember the rules regarding the placement of commas in a sentence.

This is the second week I've asked this question. Answer, please!

Russian help desk response
Punctuation marks that are usual for the end of a sentence (question mark and exclamation mark) can be placed after individual members of the sentence while emphasizing them meaningfully. In this case, after a question or exclamation mark, a capital (capital) letter is used, as at the beginning independent proposal:Annushka, our Annushka! From Sadova! This is her job! Capital letters are replaced by lowercase ones if there is a generalizing word before homogeneous members of the sentence that require highlighting with a question mark or exclamation mark: He rejected everything: laws! conscience! faith!
In addition, interrogative and exclamation marks can be placed inside a sentence if they relate to plug-in structures or I replace the insertions themselves, conveying the writer’s attitude to the content: The girl (what was her name?) was walking down the street; On the remaining boards, the chess players won eight (!) victories.
1. Inconsistent definitions expressed in forms indirect cases nouns (usually with prepositions), are isolated to highlight some feature or to enhance the meaning they express: Serf, in shiny decoration, with folded back sleeves,immediately served various drinks and food(G.); Officers, in new frock coats, white gloves And shiny epaulets,paraded through the streets and boulevards(L. T.); It splashed and rustled sea, everything is covered in white lace shavings(M.G.); In a white tie, in a smart coat wide open, with a string of stars and crosses on a gold chain in the loop of his tailcoat, general was returning from lunch(T.); Along many Russian rivers, like the Volga,one bank is mountainous, the other is meadow(T.).
Usually, inconsistent definitions are isolated that complement or clarify the idea of a person or object, which in itself (without definition) is quite specific and is already known. This role is played by proper names (they distinguish a person-object from a number of similar ones), names of persons by degree of relationship, position, profession, position, as well as pronouns (indicate a person already known from the context). Some syntactic conditions are also taken into account [see below].
Thus, inconsistent definitions expressed by the forms of oblique cases of nouns are isolated:
1) if they refer to the person’s own name: Berezhkova herself, in a silk dress, with a cap on the back of her head and a shawl,sat on the sofa(Gonch.); Shabashkin, with a cap on his head,stood with his arms akimbo and proudly looked around him(P.); Kolya, in his new jacket with gold buttons, was the hero of the day (T.); Daria Alexandrovna, in a blouse and with braids of already sparse, once thick and beautiful hair pinned to the back of her head,stood among the things scattered around the room(L. T.); Light brown, with a curly head, without a hat And with a shirt unbuttoned on the chest, Dymov seemed beautiful and unusual(Ch.); From no memory leftElizaveta Kievna,with red hands, in a man's dress, with a pitiful smile and meek eyes(A.T.);
2) if they refer to the names of persons by degree of relationship, position, profession, etc.:Came out majestically mother, in a lilac dress, in lace, with a long string of pearls around her neck(M G.); Grandfather, in grandma's katsaveyka, in an old cap without a visor,squints, smiles at something(M.G.); Sotsky, with a healthy stick in hand,stood behind him(M.G.); Headman, in boots and a saddle-backed coat, with tags in hand,Noticing dad from afar, he took off his red hat(L. T.);
3) if they refer to a personal pronoun: I am surprised that you, with your kindness,don't feel it(L. T.); ...Today she in a new blue hood,was especially young(M.G.);
4) if separated from the defined word by other members of the sentence (regardless of whether the defined word is expressed by a proper name or a common noun):After dessert everyone moved to the buffet, wherein a black dress, with a black mesh on her head, sat Caroline (Gonch.); On his ruddy face, with a straight big nose,bluish eyes shone sternly(M.G.);
5) if they form series of homogeneous members sentences with preceding/following isolated agreed definitions (regardless of what part of speech the word being defined is expressed): I saw a man wet, in rags, with a long beard(T.); This trotting man skinny, with a stick in his hand,sparkled and smoked, blazing with an insatiable greed for the game of business(M.G.); An old shepherd, ragged and barefoot, in a warm hat, with a dirty bag at his hip and with a hook on a long stick, calmed down the dogs (H); WITH bony shoulder blades, with a lump under his eye, bent over and clearly afraid of the water, He was a funny figure(Ch.);
6) if there is a deliberate separation of the attributive phrase from the neighboring predicate, to which it could be attributed in meaning and syntactically, and its attribution to the subject: Baba, with a long rake in his hands, wandering into the field (T.); Painter, drunk,drank a glass of lacquer instead of beer(M.G.).
2. Inconsistent definition expressed by a phrase with a comparative form adjective(often the defined noun is preceded by an agreed definition), separated: Force, stronger than his willthrew him out of there(T.); Short beard slightly darker hairslightly shaded lips and chin(ACT.); Another room, almost twice as muchwas called the hall(Ch.).
But with a close connection with a noun, such a definition is not isolated: But at other times it wasn’t a person is more active than him (T.); I've seen a lot of picturesque and remote places in Russia, but I'm unlikely to ever see river more virgin and mysterious, than Pra (Paust.).
3. Inconsistent definition, expressed by an infinitive form of the verb (infinitive), which can be preceded by words namely, separated by a dash: ...I came to you with pure motives, with the only desire to do good! (Ch.); But this one is beautiful lot - shine and die(Br.); ...We're all obsessed with one thing passion - to resist (Ketl.); Received from battery order - do not remove the phone from your ear and check the line every five minutes(Cat.); With her defenselessness she evoked chivalric feelings in him. feelings - shield, shield, protect;Where did you get the right from? Is it to judge? Such definitions are explanatory in nature [see. § 23, paragraph 1].
In the middle of the sentence it's like this inconsistent definition highlighted on both sides with a dash: ...Each of them decided this question - leave or stay— for yourself, for your loved ones(Kettle.). If, according to the context, there must be a comma after the definition, then the second dash is usually omitted: Since I was left alone choice - lose the army and Moscow or Moscow alone,then the field marshal had to choose the latter(L.T.).
There are many rules in Russian punctuation that are not easy to understand. After all, punctuation marks not only define the boundaries of phrases and sentences, but also help convey the feelings and emotions of the people reproducing them. Whether it’s worth highlighting “predominantly” with commas or not, we’ll talk about it in this article.
To understand whether commas are needed to highlight the word “mostly”, it is necessary to determine its meaning and grammatical characteristics.
“Predominantly”, that is, in dominance over others. For example, “He chooses mostly teddy bears,” that is, when choosing from a variety of toys, he chooses bears and not anything else.
From a morphological point of view, it can be noted that the word “predominantly” is an adverb formed from the adjective “predominant” in a suffixal way.
This adverb is similar to words such as: certainly, indeed, which, in addition to one of the members of the sentence, can be introductory words.
“His leadership in our team is unquestionable.” Leadership (what?) is unconditional. In this sentence, the analyzed word is part of a compound nominal predicate, expressed by a short neuter adjective.
“Of course, he is the leader of our team.” In this sentence, the analyzed word does not answer the question, therefore, is not one of the members of the sentence, is used to indicate confidence, and is easily omitted without changing the meaning. Maybe highlight “predominantly” with commas?
Introductory words
Introductory words are expressions used to give additional meaning to a phrase. They are not members of the sentence; in writing they are separated, separated by commas on both sides. Can be expressed in words various parts speech, phrases, both stable and changing.
Introductory words are used in several cases:
When formalizing the train of thought (firstly, on the one hand, therefore).
When expressing emotions, confidence, uncertainty (fortunately, unfortunately, of course, without a doubt).
When indicating the source of speaking (according to words, according to a message, in other words).
In case of attracting attention (imagine, see, know).
When indicating a measure (by at least, the biggest, without exaggeration).
The word we are analyzing does not have any of the above, there is no need to highlight it “primarily” with commas in writing. It can't be introductory words.
Exception words
It is correct not to separate “primarily” with commas, as is the case with other exception words, such as: “decisively”, “approximately”, “exclusively”.
She wanted mainly a warm relationship.
His actions were strongly rejected.
To make the pie you need approximately five apples.
He does this solely for her safety.
Clarifying circumstances
“Predominantly” is an adverb, therefore, in a sentence, as a rule, it acts as an adverb. In some cases, circumstances tend to become isolated.
Is it possible to set off “primarily” with commas, following this punctogram?
Circumstances stand out in two cases:
Defining additional meaning time: “Today, at nine o’clock in the evening, my favorite film will be shown on TV.” When will the film be shown? Today. And when exactly? At nine o'clock in the evening.
Determining the additional meaning of the place: “Tomorrow I’m going to the village, to my parents.” Where am I going? To the village. But where exactly? To parents.
Isolated circumstances have a clarifying meaning of place and time. Each subsequent one will answer the question “when exactly”, “where exactly”.
The word that interests us is not a circumstance of time or place, and therefore cannot be isolated.
