Personal pronouns and simple declarative sentences in Russian

How it works

In Russian, personal pronouns such as ‹я› (I), ‹ты› (you), ‹он› (he), ‹она› (she), ‹оно› (it), ‹мы› (we), ‹вы› (you plural/formal), ‹они› (they) are used. In simple learning sentences, they often stand at the beginning of the sentence, but word order in Russian can also vary. Simple declarative sentences often consist of a subject and a predicate. In the present tense, the verb ‹быть› can usually be omitted, e.g. ‹Я ученик› (I am a student). Another simple sentence is, for example, ‹Она дома› (She is at home).

Note
In simple Russian declarative sentences, the subject often stands before the predicate, e.g. ‹Я ученик› or ‹Она дома›. In the present tense, ‹быть› is usually not expressed.
