    Any action, process, attitude or state of an animate or inanimate object in Russian is expressed by a verb.\u00a0In turn, this part of the speech is presented in various ways.\u00a0This article describes in detail\u00a0which questions the verb answers, indicates their characteristics and examples.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    What is a verb in Russian?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    In Russian, a verb is an independent part of speech,\u00a0denoting a process, attitude, action, or state of a person, object, or phenomenon<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0The grammatical meaning of the verb is expressed: by the categories of type, recurrence, transitivity, mood, voice, number, person, gender and time.\u00a0The verb as part of speech is\u00a0represented by several kinds of forms:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Conjugate forms:<\/h4>\n
      \n
    • Infinitive;<\/li>\n
    • Participle;<\/li>\n
    • Gerund<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Word as part of speech: verb<\/strong><\/h2>\n

      The definition of the verb, given in school textbooks, sounds like this: it\u00a0is a part of speech that answers questions that denote action<\/strong>\u00a0, and it can be expressed in a state (hurt), a property (stutter), a sign (obscure ) and in an attitude (being jealous).\u00a0The initial, which answers the question “what to do”, is called the infinitive, or indefinite form, which can be any of its members in a sentence.<\/p>\n

      For example<\/strong>\u00a0: to understand (the subject) means to feel;\u00a0be (predicated) rain;\u00a0friends asked him to sing (in addition);\u00a0she went out for a walk (circumstance).<\/p>\n

      Children begin to\u00a0study\u00a0the topic of the section describing how to analyze verbs as parts of speech as early as grade 4, and in subsequent years they return to it repeatedly.\u00a0However, before proceeding directly to the analysis of the verb, it is convenient to study its characteristics<\/p>\n

      What questions does the verb answer?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

      The verb answers the questions “What to do?”\u00a0(imperfect), “What to do?”\u00a0(the perfect shape).\u00a0In the composition of sentences, verbs most often act as predicates, however,\u00a0in the Russian language constructions are used in which the verb forms are used as a subject, definition, circumstance or addition.<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Examples<\/strong>\u00a0of verbs in a sentence:<\/h4>\n

            Characteristics\u00a0<\/b>:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

            The grammatical categories of\u00a0voice, type, reflexivity, and transitivity<\/strong>\u00a0are inherent in all verbs and verb forms, while other categories depend on the speech situation in which the verb is used:<\/p>\n

              \n
            • The inclination is inherent exclusively to conjugated verbs;<\/li>\n
            • The number is not characteristic of the infinitive and gerunds;<\/li>\n
            • Gender: inherent to the forms of the subjunctive mood, verbs in the past tense and participles;<\/li>\n
            • Time is characteristic of the forms of the indicative mood;<\/li>\n
            • The face is inherent in verbs indicative of the present and future tense, as well as imperative forms.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Verb tenses<\/strong><\/h2>\n

              How to indicate a change in a verb by tenses?\u00a0In Russian, for these purposes, there is a grammatical feature such as the tense of the verb.\u00a0The article describes the ways of determining the tense of the verb<\/strong>\u00a0, the peculiarities of changing the verb for tenses, as well as the varieties of this grammatical characteristic.<\/p>\n

              What is a tense?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

              The verb tense\u00a0is a grammatical characteristic of the verb<\/strong>\u00a0, which denotes the change of verbs in tenses.\u00a0The category of time is represented by a system of opposite verb forms of the\u00a0past<\/strong>\u00a0\u0433\u0443\u043b\u044f\u0442\u044c, \u0441\u043c\u0435\u044f\u0442\u044c\u0441\u044f (to walk, laugh),\u00a0future<\/strong>\u00a0\u043f\u0438\u0441\u0430\u0442\u044c, \u0447\u0438\u0442\u0430\u0442\u044c (write, read) and\u00a0present<\/strong>\u00a0\u0432\u0435\u0440\u044c, \u0441\u0442\u043e\u0439 (believe, stand) and serves to determine the moment in which the action or process called by the verb takes place.\u00a0The category of time is inherent only to the verb forms of the indicative mood.<\/p>\n

              When can a verb be used?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

              There are\u00a0three tenses of the verb in Russian<\/strong>\u00a0:<\/p>\n

                \n
              • The\u00a0past<\/strong>\u00a0tense of the verb indicates that the action called by the verb took place or happened before the moment of speaking \u0432\u0447\u0435\u0440\u0430 \u0442\u044b \u0432\u0435\u0440\u043d\u0443\u043b\u0441\u044f \u0438\u0437 \u043e\u0442\u043f\u0443\u0441\u043a\u0430, \u0440\u0430\u0431\u043e\u0442\u0430\u043b \u043d\u0430\u0434 \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0435\u043a\u0442\u043e\u043c \u0432\u0435\u0441\u044c \u0433\u043e\u0434 (yesterday you returned from vacation, worked on a project all year long).<\/li>\n
              • The\u00a0present<\/strong>\u00a0tense of the verb shows that the action called by the verb occurs at the moment of speaking \u0441\u0435\u0439\u0447\u0430\u0441 \u044f \u0434\u0435\u043b\u0430\u044e \u0434\u043e\u043c\u0430\u0448\u043d\u0435\u0435 \u0437\u0430\u0434\u0430\u043d\u0438\u0435, \u0442\u0435\u043f\u0435\u0440\u044c \u043e\u043d\u0438 \u0438\u0434\u0443\u0442 \u0432 \u043a\u0438\u043d\u043e (now I’m doing my homework, now they’re going to the movies).\u00a0Also, the present tense forms can indicate typical or constant actions that are not directly related to the moment of speech \u043e\u043d\u0430 \u0432\u0441\u0435\u0433\u0434\u0430 \u043e\u0431\u0435\u0434\u0430\u0435\u0442 \u0432 \u043a\u0430\u0444\u0435, \u0433\u0430\u0437\u0435\u0442\u0430 \u0432\u044b\u0445\u043e\u0434\u0438\u0442 \u043f\u043e \u0447\u0435\u0442\u0432\u0435\u0440\u0433\u0430\u043c (she always dines in a cafe, the newspaper is published on Thursdays).<\/li>\n
              • The\u00a0future<\/strong> tense of the verb indicates that the action called by the verb will occur or will occur after the moment of the speech, in the future \u0437\u0430\u0432\u0442\u0440\u0430 \u0431\u0443\u0434\u0443 \u0440\u0430\u0431\u043e\u0442\u0430\u0442\u044c \u0432\u0435\u0441\u044c \u0434\u0435\u043d\u044c, \u0447\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0437 \u043d\u0435\u0434\u0435\u043b\u044e \u043e\u043d\u0438 \u043f\u043e\u0439\u0434\u0443\u0442 \u0432 \u043c\u0443\u0435\u0437\u0435\u0439. (Tomorrow I will work all day, in a week they will visit the museum.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                The type of verb depends directly on what tenses the verb has:\u00a0imperfective verbs have the forms of the three tenses<\/strong>\u00a0, while perfective verbs only have past and future tense forms.<\/p>\n

                How to determine the tense of a verb?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

                The tense forms of verbs are formed using\u00a0a series of suffixes<\/strong>\u00a0that form words and changes in numbers, people in the present and future tense, in numbers and gender in the past tense.<\/p>\n

                Verb as part of speech<\/strong><\/h2>\n

                Any action, process, attitude or state of an animate or inanimate object in Russian is expressed by a verb.\u00a0In turn, this part of the speech is presented in various ways.<\/p>\n

                The grammatical meaning of the verb is expressed<\/strong>\u00a0: by the categories of type, conjugation, recurrence, transitivity, state of mind, voice, number, person, gender and time.\u00a0The verb as part of speech is represented by several kinds of forms:<\/p>\n

                  \n
                • Conjugate forms (read, go);<\/li>\n
                • Infinitive (search);<\/li>\n
                • Communions (written, bright);<\/li>\n
