RUSSIAN PAST TENSE: EASIER THAN PRESENT #learnrussian #russiangrammar #easyrussian #russianlanguage

Past tense in Russian, super easy, even easier than present tense if you asked me. So first take the infinitive verb form, that's the base or dictionary form, the one you don't conjugate. For example, rabotets, to work. Then drop the infinitive ending, which for most Russian verbs is T soft sign. And finally add letter L. So rabotets becomes rabotal, which means worked. Then I have great news for you guys, you don't have to conjugate it like the present tense. I worked, ya rabotal, you worked, T-rabotal, he worked, on rabotal. It's the same. Well there is something else though. In Russian the past tense changes by gender and number, but it's super logical. If you want to put it in the feminine form just add A, rabotala. For example she worked, Ana, rabotala, and then for the plural you guessed it, add I. They worked, they worked.
