Week 22, Lesson 43, Thursday
Arrive and leave: при- and у-
The going verbs you know take a prefix and a direction. Two prefixes do most of the work on a trip: при- for arriving, у- for leaving.
1Recap 5 minutes
Three questions from Week 21, before anything new.
2Goal 1 minute
I can say when I arrive and leave, on foot or by transport, in the past and the future.
3The lesson 20 minutes
In this lesson
- Prefixes give a direction
- Past and future
- On a trip
Prefixes give a direction
Six prefixes, six directions. Arrows first, rules after.
| Russian | Meaning |
|---|---|
| при- + ехать = приехать | to arrive, by transport |
| у- + ехать = уехать | to leave, by transport |
| при- + йти = прийти | to arrive, on foot |
| у- + йти = уйти | to leave, on foot |
After a prefix, идти becomes -йти. These are result verbs: they happen once.
Past and future
| Verb | Past | Future |
|---|---|---|
| приехать | приехал, приехала | приеду |
| уехать | уехал, уехала | уеду |
| прийти | пришёл, пришла | приду |
| уйти | ушёл, ушла | уйду |
пришёл, ушёл: like шёл, the past of идти.
On a trip
| Russian | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Я приехал в Москву в понедельник. | I arrived in Moscow on Monday. |
| Она уехала домой. | She has gone home. |
| Когда ты придёшь? | When will you come? |
| Я приду в семь. | I'll come at seven. |
