About the Book
Much of language learning requires the student to learn words, sounds and patterns by heart. In the same way that a body builder improves their strength, the language learner needs to regularly flex their language muscles.
I have designed this book for Russian students who have started learning about verbs. It’s a modern treatment of Russian verbs and their grammar. Although we cover aspects, tenses and moods, you can skip over the bits you don't understand.
There are 133 verbs in this book. I've chosen them by selecting verbs from well-known Russian textbooks. I also consulted a Russian word frequency dictionary. I've grouped the verbs by subject.
I have left out the verbs of motion in this book. The focus is on aspects and tense.
This book will help you revise Russian verbs. The verbs are presented in groups by subject and learning objectives to help with memorisation. The verbs are fully conjugated. For almost all verbs in the book, there is an example in each aspect and tense. If you read my book and understand the difference between an imperfective and perfective verb, then I have succeeded.
