Understanding noun gender in Russian is really important. It helps you use adjectives the right way. In Russian, nouns can be masculine, feminine, or neuter. This changes how adjectives, pronouns, and past tense verbs look.

Key Grammar Points:

1. Noun Gender:

   • Masculine: These nouns usually end with a consonant.
     For example, "стол" means "table."

   • Feminine: These nouns often end with "а" or "я."
     For example, "книга" means "book."

   • Neuter: These nouns generally end with "о" or "е."
     For example, "окно" means "window."

2. Cases:

   • Nominative: This is for the subject of the sentence.
     For example, "стол стоит" means "The table stands."

   • Accusative: This is for the direct object of the sentence.
     For example, "Я вижу стол" means "I see the table."

3. Adjective Agreement:

   • Adjectives need to match nouns in gender, number, and case:
     • For masculine: "большой стол" means "big table."
     • For feminine: "большая книга" means "big book."
     • For neuter: "большое окно" means "big window."

4. Present Tense Verb Changes:

   • Regular verbs change depending on the subject.
     The verb "to be" (быть) isn’t used much in the present tense, but you might say "Он есть студент," which means "He is a student."

5. Asking Questions:

   • You can make questions by changing your tone or using question words like:
     • Что? (What?)
     • Кто? (Who?)
     • Где? (Where?)
     • Когда? (When?)
