Actually, you can say "picture", a "pattern weight". The difference in meaning of phrases what you need to understand the meaning of the text. In addition, in the second phrase, the verb is usually followed by a clarifying continuation of the construction without supplements: how much the picture weighs.

hanging weightSo, before to understand how correctly: weighs or hangs - it is necessary to determine the meaning of words. Let's try to do it.

Hanging

This verb has several meanings. If you are talking about the picture, the chandelier, the mirror, etc., often mean that the subject "is in a hanging position, being attached to something vertical, downward, without support":

"This picture has been hanging here for many years, let him hang on."

Perhaps allegorical, figurative, meaning:

"She spends her evenings hanging on the phone."

"the room rang silent."

"the program hangs, the requests are not responding."

In a direct sense we are talking about a situation involving two people: the subject of the action and place - noun plus preposition (example: hanging on the wall). And the location, if not specified, usually refers to ("a rope hanging from a tree").

Weigh

It is a verb that meaning. He reports that any object has a certain weight - that is weighs some number of grams, kilograms, tons, etc. the Root vowel often is under stress, so her writing does not occur:

  • "Weigh them, please, out of the box".
  • "it is Impossible for the eye to determine what you weigh grandmother's suitcase."
  • "We somehow built a shed out of old branches."
  • "This chandelier must outweigh".

How to test

Most Often, the root "vis" is in unstressed position. To dispel doubts about how to write correct - "weight" or "hanging", we select the test with the accent on the first syllable - hang, hang. Try not to change the meaning of the word!

weighs or hanging pictureA Phrase, which weighs or the picture to check the unstressed vowel can be rephrased to, for example, thus:

"the Picture was hanging on the wall - Picture hanging, swinging on a single nail".

More examples:

  • "the Bird hanging in the air" - "In the sky above him hung a bird."
  • "the Wet linen hung to dry on a rope" - "the Wet linen hung on a rope".
  • "Christmas garland hung on a tree" - "On the tree hung glittering garlands".

Note

However, it is not always possible to correctly interpret the meaning of the word with the root "vis" and "weight". Compare:

  • "the Lamp hangs from the ceiling the Lamp hung under the ceiling."
  • "just Let the carpet hang here, then we'll do" "I'll hang it here and then will be removed".
  • "Is this painting hanging wrong?" "Yes, perhaps, I put".

Here we come to the definition of pledge verb.

Verbs In the active voice, the object itself is performing the action, and the noun denoting it, in the sentence acts as the subject.

The Verb "hangs" active voice: hanging lamp; hanging hair from his forehead; let me hang a rope (hanging rope); there is a darkness; hangs pause etc.

In the active voice verbs with the root "vis" write a letter "and".

hanging weightThe Passive voice of the verb is directed to the objects over which actions are performed, and the noun is the object on which the action acts as a Supplement offer: hanging lamp; hung the rope, overhang ladder, hung a banner.

The Letter "e" written in verbal forms from the root "weight" with the passive voice.

But, usually, verbs with the root "weight" the stress falls on the root vowel and does not cause difficulties.

Compare:

"On the tree hung a glittering garland" and "We hung on the Christmas tree glittering garland".

In the first sentence, "hung" - a verb with active voice ("garland" is the subject "hung" - predicate), the second sentence used the verb to the passive voice.

More usage examples in sentences of verbs active and passive pledges with the roots of "vis" and "weight"

"On the branch of a tree hung with a grid of apples" and "Grid with apples Sergei, coming, always hung on the branch of a tree".

"Let the picture hang here for a while" - "We'll put this down right here above the table."

So, to summarize. If you are not sure how exactly to write - weighs or hangs

  • Clarify the meaning of phrases;
  • Try to pick up the check words;
  • Determine the verb what the Deposit is before you.
