3The lesson 20 minutes
The rules to recall
Month 14 in four patterns.
| Rule | Example |
|---|---|
| the news verb agrees with what happened | открылся парк, прошла выставка |
| short forms agree like adjectives | музей открыт, библиотека закрыта |
| reported speech keeps the tense | Он сказал, что живёт в Москве. |
| a yes-or-no question takes ли | Она спросила, открыт ли музей. |
| спросить for information, попросить for action | попросила меня позвонить |
