In 2018, the first grammar of the Khakass language, written within the academic traditions of that time by the fa-mous Turkologist Nadezhda Petrovna Dyrenkova, was 80 years old. Also, may 31, 2019 marks the 120th anniversary of the birth of this outstanding scientist. These two dates, as well as the need to familiarize the Khakass public with the publication, which has become a bibliographic rarity, and its author in the light of the increasing interest in the society to the Khakass language explains the relevance of this article. Nadezhda Petrovna's research talent allowed her to create the first scientific grammar of the modern Khakass language, which served as the basis for writing the following aca-demic grammar. One of its important aspects can be considered to be the focus on the explanation of the peculiarities of the use of units of language in speech, that is, its practical nature.
