Correlation between Russian and English - part 4 - The Problem for Russian speakers Additionally to described in previous topics, second fancy thing that add more mess into English lessons is choosing method, or how do we have to pick up The Time exactly. We have descriptions for each “Time” (tense), like: - simple = simple action, without particular result, or regular action; - continuous = action in a moment, if we want to describe things in a process; - perfect = we want to emphasize the result; - perfect continuous = if we want to emphasize longevity. So method is: 1) To make a sentence in Russian; 2) To try find out what is the purpose of my sentence; 3) To try pick out the match in English; 4) To ask yourself: am I right? 5) If you aren’t not => go to 2; 6) To make sentence by picking up the cell and sub cell. Simple, yeah? But reality is way more complex actually, a this is the moment where The Problem appears. Since we don’t have direct correlation between our languages (fancy article title?), 2-5 loop could be everlasting. And the fanciest thing that I was not the dumbest student but I knew nothing. And this is about all student in our country I assume. Probably now situation is getting better, but thanks to films, books and video-games with proper scenario (or thanks to Hollywood, Joanne Rowling and Bethesda Softworks). So this is inspirational that you can achieve whatever you want by self-development, but losing of substantial amount of time in School is frustrating.
