Russian Verbs of Motion - Columbia University Press
#A0927
One of the hardest things for English speakers to learn about the Russian language is their use of verbs of motion. For example, in English you might say "I went to New York City." In Russian, you would use a special verb for "went" to indicate whether you walked or traveled on a conveyance (car, train, etc.) In English, you might say "It is snowing." In Russian, you would use the same verb as the verb "walk". It would literally translate into English as "snow is walking". From the Introductory Note to this booklet, "These verbs, together with all their innumerable derivatives, form an extremely important word-group, or word family, in the Russian language."
Study includes explaining in English the concepts, and provides the various forms in Russian to help the student understand the cases, tenses and conjugation. Excellent refresher for those who already have some familiarity with the language.
