1239,h,3. When the third person pronouns are governed by a preposition, the letter ?- is added to the beginning: ? ??? (“with him”), ??? ?? ??? (“one of them”). 4. To express “— and I,” Russian uses the form ?? ? —. Thus: ?? ? ??á??? (“my brother and I”).

1971,2,Verbs: Formation Tense and Aspect 
1971,h,The Russian verb system has only three tenses: present, past and future. However, Russian has a categorization of verbs that has almost no parallel in English: nearly every Russian verb is of one of two aspects, imperfective or perfective. It takes some time and effort to gain a comprehensive understanding of the ways in which these two aspects are used, but the most basic and important distinction between them is readily understandable: Imperfective verbs describe actions without reference to the completion of those actions. They may describe an action in general (“Fish swim but people walk”), or an action in progress (“She was reading when I called”), or a repeated or habitual action (“They skate every day”). Perfective verbs describe actions that have been or will be completed (“She has read the book”; “She will read the book”).
The Infinitive The Present Tense Patterns of Present Tense Conjugation Infinitives Ending in -??? Infinitives Ending in -??? Infinitives Ending in -??? Infinitives Ending in -??? Infinitives Ending in -??? Infinitives Ending in -??? Infinitives Ending in -??? Infinitives Ending in Other Than Vowel-Plus-?? Some Additional Irregular Verbs 
2187,h,Six important additional irregular verbs are: ???? (“to give”)/???, ????, ????, ????, ?????, ???ý?; ???? (“to eat”)/??, ???, ???, ???, ????, ???; é???? (“to go by conveyance”)/é??, é????, etc.; ????? (“to take”)/?????ý, ????????, etc.; ????é??? (“to read through”)/ ????ý, ????????, etc.; ???é?? (“to want, to like”)—which has a Conjugation I singular and a Conjugation II plural—???ý, ?ó????, ?ó???, ????, ?????, ????.
The Imperative or Command Form The Past Tense The Future Tense The Future Tense of Perfective Verbs The Future Tense of Imperfective Verbs The Suffix -??; 
2361,h,?? ?á??? ??????á????. They often meet (each other). ?? ?????? ?á???? ????. They see each other every day.
,,2. There are a few verbs that change their meaning more drastically when -?? is added; for instance: ??ý???? (“to listen”) ??ý?????? (“to obey”) ?????á?? (“to recognize”) ?????á???? (“to confess”) ??????? (“to consist of”) ????????? (“to take place”)
,,??? ??? ???????? How’s life treating you?
2417,2. Some reflexive verbs can be used impersonally to express a physical state or feeling; they take the dative of the person to whom the action refers. The verb ???é???? (“to want”) is frequently used in this way: ??? ?ó????? ????. I feel hungry. ??ý ?ó????? ????. He feels thirsty. ??á?? ?? ???ó??????. My brother doesn’t feel like working. ??? ?? ?????. I don’t feel sleepy.
Passive, Reflexive and Intransitive Verbs Impersonal Constructions Expressing Obligation, Necessity and Possibility Verbs of Motion
2468,h,In Russian there are 14 kinds of motion that are each expressed by two separate imperfective verbs. These imperfective pairs are: ?????/??? (“to go,” on foot); é?????/é???? (“to travel”); ?é????/???á?? (“to run”); ???á??/???é?? (“to fly”); ??á????/????? (“to swim, float”); ?????/???? (“to carry”); ?????/???? (“to lead”); ?????/???? (“to convey, transport”); ?á????/????? (“to climb”); ?????/????? (“to drive, chase”); ????á??/????? (“to drag”); ?ó?????/????? (“to crawl”); ???á??/????? (“to roll”); ??????/????? (“to wander”).
The Conditional Participles Active Participles Passive Participles Gerunds Formation of the Present Gerund Formation of the Past Gerund Use of the Gerund Verbal Prefixes 
2748,h,Prefixes are an important element of numerous Russian verbs, imperfective as well as perfective.
2774,h,PREFIX VERB WITHOUT PREFIX VERB WITH PREFIX ?- (??-; “into”) ????? (“to go”) ?????? (“to enter”) ??- (???-, ??-; “upward”) ???é?? (“to fly”) ?????é?? (“to fly up, take off”) ??- (“out of”) ????? (“to lead”) ??????? (“to lead out”) ??- (“up to, to the end”) ???á?? (“to read”) ?????á?? (“to read up to [a certain point]”) ??- (“behind, beyond”; beginning of an action; filling up) ?????? (“to let go”) ???????? (“to launch”) ????á?? (“to be silent”) ??????á?? (“to fall silent”) ???ó??? (“to build”) ?????ó??? (“to build up [an area]”) ??- (??-; “out; completely”) ????? (“to take”) ????á?? (“to pick out, choose”) ???á?? (“to write”) ?????á??

(“to cease to love”) ?- (??-; “downward; off”) ????? (“to go”) ?????? (“to come down, go off”) ?- (“away from”) ????? (“to take”) ???á?? (“to take away”)
2901,2,Verbs: Aspect. Basic Differences Between Imperfective and Perfective Aspect and Negation Aspect of Infinitives and Imperatives Structural Relations Between Imperfectives and Perfectives Aspectival Pairs of an Attempt/Succeed Nature 
2971,h,2. If the degree of negation is not total, the attitude of the speaker is a determining factor as to which aspect is used. If the action being denied or negated was never expected to happen, the imperfective is used: ? ?? ?????á? ?????á ???ó???. I didn’t get any letter today [but wasn’t expecting one].
3094,h,3. To generalize about identifying a given verb as being imperfective or perfective: (a) When one verb in an aspectival pair has a prefix and the other does not, the prefixed one is almost always perfective. When both verbs have prefixes, the longer of the two is likely to be the imperfective. (b) Verbs with infinitives ending in -?????, -???? or -??? tend to be imperfective, and those ending in -??? are often perfective. (c) When there is an alternation between a and o in the stem of a verb pair, the one with the a is likely to be imperfective and the one with the ? perfective.
3123,h,Although the two members of aspectival pairs generally have the same meaning (except with regard to aspect), there are a number of important verbs whose imperfectives indicate an attempt to achieve a certain goal, and whose perfectives denote the successful attainment of the goal or completion of the action. Examples are: IMPERFECTIVE PERFECTIVE ????? (“to try to awaken”) ???????? (“to awaken”) ?????á???? (“to try to obtain”) ??????? (“to obtain”) ???á?????? (“to try to prove”) ?????á?? (“to prove”) ????? (“to try to catch”) ????á?? (“to catch”) ???????? (“to try to explain”) ???????? (“to explain”) ???á?? (“to try to solve”) ????? (“to solve”) ?????á?? (“to try to convince”) ?????? (“to convince”) ????á?????? (“to try to persuade”) ???????? (“to persuade”)
3165,2,Telling Time 
There are two ways in which to ask “What time is it?” in Russian: ???ó??? ???? or, colloquially, ??ó???? ??é????? The answer, when indicating a time on the hour, is expressed using cardinal numbers and the word ??? (??? is in the genitive singular when preceded by ???, “two”; ???, “three”; or ????? “four”; in the genitive plural when preceded by the other numbers): ??? ???á (“two o’clock”), ??? ???á (“three o’clock”), ???? ???ó? (“five o’clock”). “One o’clock” is simply ???.
,,Minutes to the hour are expressed using the preposition ??? plus the number of minutes (in the genitive) and the nominative of the cardinal number for the hour: ??? ????? ????? (“ten to six”), ??? ?é?????? ???? (“quarter to five”).
3194,2,Useful Expressions 
Listed below are some useful expressions that have not appeared in the main body of this grammar: ???á??????. Please. ??????. Thank you. ?ó??? ????. Perhaps. ???á??????(??).

### Reviews
#eng A lot to be ruminated
Dull as all grammars, but deeply convincing. Presenting this grammar the author is modest and warns several times of its limited nature. When reading it you get the opposite feeling. It seems that nothing is forgotten. Versatile and carefully formulated explanations are always provided with examples and translations. Stress is always indicated. Much trouble is seen to overcome the limitations of the screen. A special treatment is offered for complicated tables. You may click and get the table as such without surrounding text in front of you and the return back where you were.
It is easy to see that this publication emerges as chrystallization from a long experience and careful documentation. 
The author has well deserved five stars.
