Basic Russian 2: Verbal Aspect: Multiple Events

In this series of video tutorials, you will learn about the verbal aspect by comparing and contrasting different forms of the verb in context. You will also learn how to differentiate and use imperfective and perfective verbs by practicing them through short stories and exercises. There are several video tutorials on this grammar concept. It’s recommended to start from the very beginning to get the whole picture.
The videos are made for students of the high-beginning level (A-2); however, they can be useful for anyone who needs clarification, better understanding and practice in using the verbs in context.

I totally love your videos! Thank you so much for your excellent work, you are truly amazing! Congratulatios!

[@wolf_of_fenric]

Thank you so much. I have struggled with getting my head around this for so long and, after watching these five videos, I think I finally understand it! My mistake was thinking that the Russian imperfective and perfective maps on to the past continuous (I was eating) the past simple (I ate) in English - it doesn’t, so I couldn’t work out why the sentence “Every day I ate bread”, which is the past simple in English, is imperfective in Russian. From your videos I understand that it is because the focus of the sentence “Every day I ate bread” is on the nature of the process of eating bread (i.e. it is carried out every day), not its completion (which is not important to the meaning). Would you say that is a fair summary?

[@AmazingRussian]

I believe it is more like a fact - Я ел хлеб каждый день.

[@Morgow1]

I feel like I can just sink into the language when watching your vids. No need to think or observe at all! It's like being programmed - in a good way.

[@marymar9956]

"Когда Марк выпьет кофе, он..."
This grammatical structure is so сложно that it differs between similar languages, like French and Spanish.
- Cuando él se beba el café (subjunctive), él...
- Quand il boira le café (future), il...

[@chomusuke1904]

if we really think about it, NSV verbs are just continuous verb and SV are normal verbs

[@AmazingRussian]

To some extent, but not always true.

[@user-sw7wk2cr5l]

Ольга, Вы просто молодец! Но на 12 минуте, я тут не согласна. Когда студенты писали тест, преподаватель открыл окно. Это паралельное действие. Преподаватель не прервал действие студентов, они ведь продолжали писать.

[@AmazingRussian]

Любовь Рубан , Спасибо большое за комментарий. Понимаете, я вижу эти два действия точно также, как они показаны на схеме: одно прерывает другое, одно длиннее, чем другое. Если бы они были параллельны, то начинались и заканчивались бы в одно и тоже время, и тогда мы бы использовали оба глагола в НСВ. Когда студенты писали тест, преподаватель открывал окно. 🙂

[@M.N.80]

Great.Thanks a lot.But i have a question, i am a bit of confused about it: if i want to say- " i'll watch this film" which one is correct: "я буду смотреть этого фильм" or " я посмотрю этого фильм"?

[@AmazingRussian]

Zülfiyye Möhsümova , if you just want to say “I’ll watch a film” , you use Я посмотрю этот фильм.

[@M.N.80]

@@AmazingRussian okay; thanks for your time😊

[@libanhassan510]

more than explanation" пока человек будет смотреть ,никто не будет уставать ваше объяснение

[@AmazingRussian]

Liban Xasan , спасибо. Хороший пример. Мне нравится: никто не будет уставать от ваших объяснений.

[@nickserna8320]

On your final examples, would you need a modifier to have both Imperfective and perfective coexist? Я сЪел весь попкорн, когда я смотрел филм. И после нас прочитали когда мы смотрели филм. Am I overthinking or are these correct applications? Thank you for all your very awesome detailed insightful and helpful videos.

[@MaksymMinenko]

"Я съел весь попкорн, когда я смотрел фильм." You can say like that if you want to convey the fact that there's no more popcorn left.

[@egekaraylanl8340]

Hello, Mrs. Jarrell. I wanted to ask something about 15.06, you said they are consecutive actions, but why did you use когда? It gives the impression that they are simultaneous events.

[@AmazingRussian]

WerquaL , КОГДА is used to show both sequential and simultaneous events. You can use КОГДА for consecutive events when the order of events is clear. Very similar to English. Когда я позавтракал, я пошёл на работу. It is hard to imagine otherwise. Hope it helps.

[@egekaraylanl8340]

@@AmazingRussian I think I kind of got the idea. It is a bit difficult to comprehend without using потом though. Thank you very much.

[@gabogc]

Great Great Videos. I have been learning so much! Thanks a lot!
just a little detail!
at 5:45, the translation to English should be: While Mark will be reading a paper tomorrow morning.
"is reading a paper tomorrow morning" doesn't work, since is reading is Present Simple.
check it out, what do you think?

[@AmazingRussian]

gabriel galleguillos , thanks for the comment and the question. In complex time sentences, only one clause is in the future - the main clause. The dependent clause is always in present, even though it refers to the future. 🙂

[@gabogc]

@@AmazingRussian Thanks! , and also thanks for the fast answer.
i found it like this also "Like all future forms, the simple future cannot be used in clauses beginning with time expressions such as: when, while, before, after, by the time, as soon as, if, unless, etc. Instead of simple future, simple present is used."

[@ghirmaiyy]

Thank you for the great explanation. The last question @ 16:19, doesn't the утром signify a habitual action? I understood it as an action done every morning, justifying the НСВ.

[@AmazingRussian]

ghirmaiyy , consecutive events are always CB. Review at 10:09. Hope it makes sense.

[@MaksymMinenko]

No. "Утром" means one specific morning. "Every morning" would be "по утрам" or "каждое утро".

[@hunjuli5245]

7:32 "Буду читать" is not in the future?

[@AmazingRussian]

Yes, it is in the future.
