Cases are the backbone of the Russian sentence structure. However, for many Russian language learners, cases remain a stumbling stone. This is because nouns, pronouns, and adjectives conjugate in Russian (change their endings) which makes these words look different within a text.
The good news is: you can actually learn the conjugation rules and understand the context for using each case.
Everything else you learn in Russian will group around cases, just like the walls of a house are built on its foundation.
You’ll be able to conjugate - and speak Russian - like a PRO!
This e-book will help you understand the Russian case system. It will also give you numerous examples of word combinations, full sentences, as well as idiomatic expressions with only 1 static case possible alongside their English translation. Overall, you will learn 500+ words from basic Russian vocabulary.
This 2nd edition is significantly improved based on readers' feedback: tables are enlarged, more examples are given.
Each chapter dedicated to a specific case describes the exact situations when each case is used backed by color-coded conjugation tables (tables with endings and examples), which you can always keep handy and return to.
A special focus is put on immediate practice: you will find short exercises at the end of each chapter along with the keys. This will help you put the newly-acquired knowledge into action and check if you understood everything correctly.
Complementary chapters give an overview of the gender system of Russian nouns and their plural forms.
Russian adjectives; personal and possessive pronouns, and their conjugation in all Russian cases now have separate chapters.
The book also now features a very useful bonus – a text in Russian where each noun is "decoded" to illustrate the use of cases within phrases. This way you can go back to the book chapters and review the usage.
"Russian Cases: Conjugate Russian Nouns, Pronouns, and Adjectives Like a Pro" is probably the most comprehensive resource on Russian cases you may come across. Keep it nearby and refer to it when necessary. Happy learning!
