A Living Russian Grammar (III) is addressed to adult learners of advanced level; to GCSE and
A-level students; and to those who study Russian at language schools and individually. The
book can be used both for language classes with a tutor and for self-study.
A Living Russian Grammar (III) is the third part of the grammar book A Living Russian
Grammar (I) and (II).
This is a communicative grammar which is not intended as a theoretical description of
language. lt aims to provide clear explanations of grammatical rules, which are necessary for
fluent communication, and to enhance their usage with the help of exercises. The
explanations are simple and short, with particular emphasis on language phenomena which
may present special difficulties for English-speaking students.
The information on language styles is of particular importance, as many synonymous
constructions often differ from one another only in terms of the register in which they are
used.
The authors have tried their best to avoid the use of specialised linguistic terminology. The
explanations are illustrated with examples from real communicative situations. In addition,
humorous drawings will help students understand and memorise certain grammatical
phenomena peculiar to the Russian language.
The authors aimed at making the study of Russian grammar interesting, amusing and effective
at the same time.
A Living Russian Grammar (III) consists of 25 units devoted to various grammatical topics,
necessary for those who want to advance their knowledge of Russian. Topics covered include
syntax of complex sentences, word formation, expression of time, of condition and others.
Some particularly complex grammatical phenomena are dealt with in more than one unit. The
units can be studied in any order.
As a general rule, grammatical explanations and the corresponding examples are found on the
left-hand page, whereas the right-hand page is devoted to exercises. An index provided at the
end of the book will facilitate its use.
We hope that this grammar book will become a useful tool in your study of Russian, and wish
you an easy and pleasant learning.
