How do you spell the word don't play? – Pravica


This is the variant recorded in the spelling dictionary.

The rule for writing a verb with the particle "not"

Sometimes confusion occurs when writing with "not" different parts of speech, when a noun or adjective is written together, and verbs and participles are written separately:

  • Ignorance of the law does not exempt from liability. Dunno on the moon. BUT : Don't know what to say. Not knowing where to look for .
  • Minor misconduct can ruin a reputation. BUT : means nothing.
  • Unforgotten grandfathers feat remains in our memory. BUT : Do not forget old times. Not forgetting about the past.

Therefore, first of all, define the part of speech . In our case, this is verb (means an action and answers the questions: “what to do?”, “what to do?”). Now let's turn to the rules governing the spelling of verbs with the particle "not":

  1. The particle "not" with verbs and verb forms is written separately : do not read, do not know, do not understand, do not see.
  2. Verbs are not used without “not” : 0026 (light), not lead (from the word seine , but do not lead in the meaning of lead), become dumb, bondage, ill, undead (sya), itching and their word forms. In these words, the verb without "not" loses its meaning.
  3. Verbs with the prefix “under” are written together in the sense of a partial, incomplete action: underdo, underweight, underestimate. Be careful with verbs starting with “to”, in such cases both continuous and separate spellings with “not” are possible. For example: Why not not finish drinking the cup to the bottom? - They were malnourished, did not drink enough , they gave everything to the children.

Thus, " do not play " is the only correct option in Russian, other ways of writing this phrase are incorrect.
