Accusative singular assessment

First decide object, goal, or time; then apply gender, pattern, and animacy.

  • Assessment
  • Form the direct objects: кни́га, мо́ре, стол.
  • Form the direct objects: студе́нт, геро́й, Мари́я.
  • Contrast destination and location with музе́й.
  • Correct: Я ви́жу учи́тель.
  • Explain why ви́жу стол and Стол стои́т contain identical forms with different cases.
  • Give one grammatical animacy exception in each direction.
  • Answers and explanations
  • чита́ть кни́гу; ви́деть мо́ре; ви́деть стол.
  • ви́деть студе́нта; встреча́ть геро́я; ви́деть Мари́ю.
  • иду́ в музе́й; я в музе́е.
  • Я ви́жу учи́теля: masculine animate accusative copies genitive singular.
  • Masculine inanimate accusative and nominative are syncretic; syntax and semantic role identify the case.
  • For example ку́кла is grammatically animate; наро́д is grammatically inanimate.
  • Ready signal: Continue when you can explain every form through relation + number + noun profile, not by memorising one undifferentiated accusative column.
