The word "as a result" is considered one of the most difficult in the Russian language. When using it, the question often arises as to how it is spelled correctly: together or separately. You can remember this by studying the rule.

Part of speech

It is possible to answer the question of how it is written "as a result", together or separately, after determining which part of speech the word belongs to. There are 2 options depending on the context:

• derivative preposition;
• a noun with a preposition.

Example:

• As a result of a conversation with Anatoly, Tatiana was able to understand why Alexey lied to her about the trip to St. Petersburg.
• The investigation did not reveal any violations, but Alexander insisted on a second check.

Writing rule

If in a sentence the construction acts as a derivative preposition with "in", it should be used in a continuous form. The word will be immutable, so the letter "e" is always written at the end.

Example:

Due to a complex illness, Oleg missed a whole month of university studies.

In Russian, a construction can also be a noun with a preposition. In this case, the word will be written separately with "v", it can be declined. Depending on the gender, the letter "e" or "and" will be used at the end.

Example:

In the investigation, new evidence appeared that made Lev Petrovich re-interview all suspects.

How to remember and check

Teachers advise first to determine which part of speech in a sentence the structure is. Based on this, it will be possible to understand how the word is spelled correctly. However, in Russian there is a life hack that allows you not to learn the rule. It is enough to remember that an adjective / pronoun / numeral can be inserted between the preposition and the noun, and the meaning of the sentence will not change.

Example:

As a result of the conversation that Margarita started, Peter's true desires were revealed. - In the (difficult) consequence of the conversation that Margarita started, Peter's true desires were revealed. - The sentence is constructed grammatically incorrectly.

Maxim was interested in the investigation, he tried to find evidence on his own and inform the prosecutor about it. - Maxim was interested in the (objective) investigation, he tried to find evidence on his own and inform the prosecutor about it. - The meaning of what is written has not changed from the addition of the adjective.

Synonyms for preposition

Derivative preposition synonyms allow you to correctly define a part of speech. If in a sentence a word is replaced by one of them without losing the meaning of what was written, you should use the continuous form.

The most popular synonyms include:

• thus;
• as a result;
• in view of;
• due to;
• thanks to;
• because of;
• across.

In a sentence, a derived preposition can be replaced with a synonym if you cannot remember how to spell the word "due to" correctly.

Example:

As a result of the arrival of Alexander, Tatyana had to improve relations with her parents in order to see her brother. - Due to the arrival of Alexander, Tatyana had to improve relations with her parents in order to see her brother.

Examples of using a preposition

Familiarization with the examples helps to visually remember the correct spelling of the derived preposition:

• Due to illness, Alexander lost his appetite and lost 4 kilograms, so he decided to consult a doctor for recommendations on recovery.
• Due to the unstable behavior of Mary, the mother was forced to pick her up from the holiday earlier than the specified time.
• As a result of working with Oleg, Maria could not find some of the records she made before collaborating with this man.
• As a result of my working trip to the Caucasus, I decided to take a vacation in order to have time to recover by the next departure.

It is customary to write a derived preposition in one piece in any case; using a separate form would be a spelling error.

Outcomes

The construction "as a result" in Russian can be written together and separately. In the first case, it will be a combination of a noun with a preposition, in the second - a derivative preposition. To visually memorize the correct spelling of a word, you should familiarize yourself with examples of using "due to" in writing.
