How to define verb time

Russian is considered quite difficult for study. Nouns change on seven cases, and verbs are divided not only on persons, numbers and times, but also have conjugations, inclinations and types.

It is required to you

  • To define time of a verb it is necessary to ask certain questions to the offered word.

Instruction

1. So, action which takes place in the present, will answer a question ""what does?"". Let's notice that only verbs of imperfective aspect can have a present. The fact is that they matter action which has no temporary limit. And it means that it can proceed both at present, and in the future and last. Verbs of perfective aspect, on the contrary, are limited to time. Therefore they can meet only in past or future tense. It is possible to determine a verbal aspect by a question too. The verbs relating to imperfective aspect will answer a question ""what to do?"", and to made - ""what to make?"".

2. Past tense of a verb can easily be recognized by questions ""what did?" ", " "what made?"". In this time the verbs also change on childbirth. It is possible to define by the terminations what being of a floor performed any given operation.

3. Future time of a verb designates actions which are only planned to be made. They answer questions ""what will do?"" - at verbs of imperfective aspect and ""what will make?"" - at verbs of perfective aspect. It should be noted that verbs of imperfective aspect in this case will be compound. The auxiliary verb will be added to an infinitive of the main verb ""to be"".
