Infinitive

The dictionary lists Russian verbs in the infinitive form. As in English, it describes the activity in the abstract, without any specific agent performing it at any specific time.

To see Naples and die.

The infinitive is most commonly used with modal verbs where the modal verb follows the person and number of the subject and the activity verb is in infinitive.

I love to watch Netflix and chill with my boyfriend.

Present Tense

Present tense tells what is happening currently or habitually and repeatedly. Present tense has 6 possible suffixes: 3 persons both in singular (I, you, it) and plural (we, you, they). There are 2 regular inflection classes, called conjugations. However, the most common verbs often have partially irregular inflections. The example sentences in our vocabulary flashcards showcase the verbs in wide variety of different inflection forms.

Future tense

Future tense tells what might happen in the future. Once you know the present tense, future tense is easy to form. It is different for perfective and imperfective verbs.

For perfective verb, the "present tense" is actually the future tense. Since the perfective aspect emphasizes finishing and completion, it happens in a point of time. This is either in the future or in the past. Russian doesn't have present tense for perfective verbs - if you want to emphasize the currently ongoing process, use the imperfective aspect.

For imperfective verbs, future tense is formed with modal verb быть (to be) + infinitive.

Imperative

Imperative is used to give orders and tells others what to do. There are two imperative forms, 2nd person singular (you) and the 2nd person plural (you all.) The plural is also used for politeness in the same way as capital You in English.

There are 3 possible endings. Ending depends on whether the first person singular form ends in vowel or consonant and on whether pronunciation stress is on the stem or on the ending. The endings are added to plural 3rd person (they-) stem. This means that if the singular 1st person is irregular (for example ставить - я ставлю), the imperative endings are added to the regular stem (став + ь -> ставь!)

Passive voice

The active and passive the voice differ regarding the subject who does something. Active voice tells the subject directly. Passive voice omits or sidelines the subject, hinting that who is taking action is either unimportant, unknown or the speaker doesn't want to reveal it.

In English, there are two major passive constructs.

You-passive and one-passive have an indeterminate pronoun as the subject. It doesn't refer to any specific agent. The respective Russian construct uses "they" as the indeterminate pronoun. The verb is in plural third person, but
Was/were-passive.

They-Passive

In English, one way to form the passive is to use indeterminate pronouns "you" or "one" as the subject. "You" normally refers to the listener, but as an indeterminate pronoun in the passive construction it doesn't refer to any specific person. In Russian, the respective pronoun is они (they).

In they-passive, the verb is inflected to third person plural form. The pronoun itself is omitted.

Reflexive Verbs In The Passive

Another way to form the passive is to add the reflexive suffix -ся to a normal verb. Semantically there is no difference in meaning, but -ся is more common in written style and они in spoken text.

The active object becomes the passive subject of the reflexive verb. After all, reflexive verbs describe situations where the subject undergoes change.

Agent In Passive

In English it is possible to add the agent to a passive sentence with by-clause. In Russian, the subject is placed in instrumental case.

Participles

Participles are adjectives derived from verbs. From each verb aspect pair one can form 4 different kinds of participles. Participles can be active or passive. when a participle describes a noun, active means that the noun is in subject role. Passive means that the noun would have been an object of the verb. The link between passive voice and passive participle is that the subject is optional in both.
