The Russian Alphabet

/>

Russian alphabet consists of 33 letters divided into 10 vowels, 21 consonants and 2 letters which do not
designate any sounds. Each letter can be either capital or small. The letters can also be printed or handwritten.

NOTE: Do not confuse Russian letter names with sounds designated by those letters. For a list of Russian
sounds, please read the pronunciation lessons on Russian vowels and consonants.

Russian Cursive Alphabet
Let's take another look at the Russian handwritten alphabet. You will find that it is very different from print
letters and you need to pay special attention to how the letters are connected with each other. The benefit of
knowing Russian cursive letters is that they are much faster to write as compared to print letters.

The Personal Pronouns
Usage
Pronouns are words that are used as substitutes for nouns. They do not name objects, their characteristics or
quantity but only refer to them. There are nine types of pronouns in Russian.
Let's take a look at the Russian personal pronouns.

я (I)
мы (we)
ты (you - singular; thou*)
вы (you - plural)
он (he)
онá (she)
онó (it)
они (they).

Declension
All personal pronouns change by cases.

The Present Tense in Russian
The Russian present tense form is very simple. When compared to English, the numerous variations like "I am
working", "I do work" and "I have been working" do not exist in Russian. Instead, there is only one form similar
to the English simple present tense (Subject + Main verb).

I work.
I do work.
I am working.
I have been working.


}

Я работаю.

When to use present tense
The Russian present tense is used to express:
1.

Actions which are happening at the time of speaking
Она едет на работу.
(She is driving to work.)

2.

Actions which occur regularly
Земля вращается вокруг солнца.
(The earth revolves around the sun )

3.

Habitual actions
Каждое утро я встаю в 8 часов.
(I get up at 8 o'clock every morning)
