Correlation between Russian and English - part 9 - other perspective + Overall conclusion Other perspectives to Perfect tenses Often looking into from different perspective helps me understand things, and to make correlation between tenses helps me also. A don’t use this below for real, but as exercises it was helpful. Perfect tense is translated by shifting participle to object I saw that some people treat past participle as subordinate word to object, like it could be reversible: I have done homeworks / I have homework done / Я имею сделанную домашнюю работу I have done sports / I have sports done / У меня есть законченные упражнения She has dyed her hair / She has her hairs dyed / У нее есть ее покрашенные волосы. But in Passive voice it is a bit difficult. Overall conclusion I tried to explain my understanding of English with using only 4 basic cells instead of numerous amount of cells before. Yes it does not cover conjugation, but in Russian we have it as a separate topic, and since we have quite simple scheme (break-broke-broken-breaking, I will cover it later), we could just leave it for the moment. Do not forget that Do, Is and Have (perfect tense) could be as Auxiliary Verbs, and Is could be as a Copular Verb. So things are going different for them in that cases. And - Yes, you may argue that it is not accurate and there are a lot of nuances, and I give you 146% that i don’t cover them and even don’t know them. But for me this understanding provided me drastic rush from some state to thinking on English directly.

Correlation between Russian and English - part 8 - Recap of correlation scheme This is a small recap of mine understanding of English basic rules. The most important thing that you must learn perfect tense. I don't know how you can handle without Совершенной формы глагола (Perfect tense) in Russian, and I don’t get, why we were explained that it is difficult and not frequent form of verb. Additional thing that you are highly likely to use - progressive tense, so i marked it yellow, same thing for passive voice. Perfect continuous I have marked in red, these colors I had picked up for difficulty since they were described through other parts of speech.

Correlation between Russian and English - part 7 - Perfect Tense review PERFECT TENSE REVIEW Second type of verbs is same to Russian “Совершенная форма глагола”, means that action is already completed, it is finished prior to moment of speaking. So 2nd row, same columns, but just a bit changed meaning of words. COMPLETED ACTION (PERFECT TENSE) So, to provide information about result you must use this tense. It is just exactly the same things as Russian version. So instead of “I do” use “I have done”. Я делаю домашнюю работу / I do homework. Я сделал домашнюю работу / I have done homework. Я закончил упражнения спортом / I have done sports. Она покрасила ее волосы / She has dyed her hairs. Also we could explain correlation with participles in Russian, here we have have active past perfect participle - действительное причастие прошедшего времени и совершенного вида: Я есть сделавший домашнюю работу. By the way, in English it is just past participle. But “Совершенная форма глагола” provides more sense that trying to find similarities between past participles. COMPLETED ACTION - PASSIVE (PERFECT TENSE - PASSIVE) Actually, you could consider it similar as simple passive tense, but instead of “am” you use “have been”. Домашняя работа сделана мною / Homework has been done by me. Упражнения сделаны мною / Sports has been done by me. Ее волосы покрашены ею / Her hairs have been dyed by her. To have one more perspective we could translate it with participle but with passive for that one: ДР есть сделанная мною (I just left translation of been word). P.S. I have made a reference to pronoun declension with her-her case (in Russian there is clear distinguish with ee & eю). LONG ACTION (PERFECT CONTINUOUS TENSE) Actually it is the same story to Perfect tense, but you only want to emphasize longevity of this action. Я делал домашнюю работу очень долго / I have been doing homework. Я занимался спортом очень долго / I have been doing sports. Она красила ее волосы очень долго / She has been dyeing her hairs.
