Russian Grammar

An adjective is a word that describes or modifies a noun or a pronoun.

An adverb describes how, when, where or to what extent an action is performed.

Cases are the rule sets applied to nouns, adjectives, pronouns and participles to adjust them to their role in sentences. Russian has six cases.

Miscellaneous refers to grammar concepts that do not neatly fall under common categories like "Noun" or "Verb."

Moods are forms of verbs that express their relation to reality and the speaker’s attitude towards them. Russian has three moods: indicative, conditional (subjunctive) and imperative.

A noun names a person, place, thing, idea, state, or action. Nouns in Russian can be masculine, feminine or neuter. Most nouns also have singular and plural forms.

Prepositions show the relation of a noun or pronoun to another part of the sentence. They can be used to show direction, time and place, and they appear before the noun or pronoun that’s being modified.

Pronouns are used to replace other words, known and unknown to the speakers. Russian has nine pronoun types.

Tenses place an action into a certain time period. Russian has three tenses: past, present, and future.

Verbs are words that describe actions, states of being, or events.
