In Russian, the simple way to make a sentence is usually Subject-Verb-Object (SVO).

Here’s a simple example:

• Я читаю книгу. (I read a book.)

Important Grammar Points:

1. Noun Gender:
   In Russian, nouns are either masculine, feminine, or neuter.
   For example:

   • "стол" means table (masculine)
   • "книга" means book (feminine)
   • "окно" means window (neuter)

2. Cases:
   Russian uses six cases. These change how nouns look.

   • Nominative: This is for the subject. (кто? что? means who? what?)
   • Accusative: This is for the direct object. (кого? что? means whom? what?)
   • Genitive: This shows possession. (кого? чего? means whose? of what?)
   • Dative: This is for the indirect object. (кому? чему? means to whom? to what?)
   • Instrumental: This shows "with". (кем? чем? means with whom? with what?)
   • Prepositional: This is about something. (о ком? о чём? means about whom? about what?)

3. Verb Aspect:
   Russian verbs can tell us if an action is finished or still going.

   • Perfective means the action is completed.
   • Imperfective means the action is ongoing.
     For example, "делать" means to do (imperfective) and "сделать" means to complete (perfective).

4. Pronouns:
   Personal pronouns change depending on their case.
   For example, "я" means I (nominative) and "меня" means me (accusative).

5. Adjectives:
   Adjectives need to match the noun they describe in gender, number, and case.
   For example:

   • "красивый мальчик" means handsome boy
   • "красивую девочку" means beautiful girl

6. Questions:

   • Yes/No Questions: You raise your voice at the end. (Ты говоришь? means Are you speaking?)
   • Wh-Questions: These start with a question word. (Где ты? means Where are you?)

7. Negation:
   To say something is not happening, put "не" before the verb.
   For example: "Я не читаю." means I am not reading.

8. Conditional Sentences:
   You can use "если" (if).
   For example: "Если будет дождь, я останусь дома." means If it rains, I will stay home.
