Time to start speaking in full sentences! Luckily, in Russian, basic sentence structure is much simpler than in English. For one thing, you rarely need the verb "to be" when talking about the present. That means that in order to say something like "I am a person", you don't need to rack your brain looking for the right form of быть. In fact, you only need to know two words - "I" and "person" - seeing as Russian doesn't have any articles either!
