Russian Pronouns
These are the Russian pronouns that can be used as the subject of a sentence. (Known as the nominative case.)
Я – I
Ты – You (informal)
Он – He, It (m)
Она – She, It (f)
Оно – It (n)
Мы – We
Вы – You (formal, or plural)
Они – They
Вы is used as the formal singular “you”, and the plural “you” (slang: “yous” or “you all”) when talking to more than one person. Here are the Russian pronouns that can be used as the object of a sentence. (Known as the accusative case)Меня – Me
Тебя – You (informal)
Его – (“yevo”) – Him, It (m,n)
Её – Her, It (f)
Нас – Us
Вас – You (formal, or plural)
Их – Them
You should be familiar with using different pronouns for the subject and object of a sentence (“me” instead of “I”). Just remember that unlike English,Russian uses an extra version of the word “you”. You should memorise these pronouns.Russian Verbs
You will be pleased to know that Russian has only one present tense. In Russian there is only one way of saying “I work”, “I am working” and “I do work”. Russian verbs change their endings depending on the subject. This happens a little in English, but not as much. (Example: I work, he works). This happens according to two different patterns known as the first conjugation, and the second conjugation. (There are also some irregular verbs). Both these patterns are quite similar, and once you get the hang of it, it is not too difficult.1. Nouns and Gender
2. Personal Pronouns
The first conjugation
The first conjugation is used for verbs ending in “ть” but not “ить”. It is the most common. To form the verb for each person you need to drop the last two letters of the infinitive (normally “ть”), and add the appropriate ending (“ю”, “ешь”, “ет”, “ем”, “ете” or “ют”).Let’s take a look at a verb that uses the first conjugation: работать (to work).работать – To work. (infinitive, dictionary form)
Я работаю – I work
Ты работаешь – You work
Он, Она, Оно работает – He, She, It works.
Мы работаем – We work
Вы работаете – You work.
Они работают – They work.
Let’s try some other Russian words from the first conjugation:понимать – To understand. (infinitive, dictionary form)
Я понимаю – I understand.
Ты понимаешь – You understand.
Он, Она, Оно понимает – He, She, It understands
Мы понимаем – We understand.
Вы понимаете – You understand.
Они понимают – They understand.
Знать – To know. (infinitive, dictionary form)
Я знаю – I know.
Ты знаешь – You know.
Он, Она, Оно знает – He, She, It knows.
Мы знаем – We know.
Вы знаете – You know.
Они знают – They know.
Remember you can make a statement negative by using the word “не” (not). For example:Я не знаю – I don’t know.
Я не понимаю – I don’t understand.
Он не понимает – He doesn’t understand.
You can also form questions:Ты знаешь? – Do you know?
Ты понимаешь? – Do you understand?

Verb Conjugation | |||||||||||||||||||
A Russian verb has six forms in the present tense, one for each of the subject pronouns (1st, 2nd and 3rd persons, singular and plural). By looking at the ending of the verb we can tell the person and the number of the verb. This is called verb conjugation.The Present tense form consists of a verb stem followed by an ending denoting person and number. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Most Russian verbs fall into two groups: first conjugation and second conjugation.First conjugation verbs take the endings -ю(-у ); -ешь; -ет; -ем; -ете and -ют (- ут) in the Present Tense.Second conjugation verbs take the endings -ю (-у); -ишь; -ит; -им; -ите and -ят (-ат) in the Present Tense.
