Genitive singular assessment
Identify the genitive relation, then form the singular pattern and check stress or lexical restriction.
- Assessment
- Form: нет + стол, музе́й, окно́, мо́ре.
- Form: из + шко́ла, Росси́я; без + дверь.
- Choose the count forms: 2 стол; 3 кни́га; 4 окно́.
- Explain два часа́ versus нет ча́са.
- Explain why negation does not simply 'activate genitive' for every direct object.
- Answers and explanations
- нет стола́, музе́я, окна́, мо́ря.
- из шко́лы, из Росси́и; без две́ри.
- и́мя геро́я; центр го́рода.
- два стола́; три кни́ги; четы́ре окна́.
- The count form has inherited special ending stress in часа́; ordinary genitive singular is ча́са.
- Object case under verbal negation varies with specificity, scope, verb, and discourse; нет is the categorical absence construction.
- Ready signal: Continue when you can keep genitive relation, singular reference, counting syntax, and restricted partitive forms analytically separate.
