In this course, we’ll study Nominative and Accusative Cases for inanimate nouns. We’ll learn how to determine the gender of nouns and adjectives and how to make them plural. Also, we’ll study possessive and personal pronouns in Nominative Case. Speaking about the verbs, we’ll learn to conjugate them in Present Tense, we’ll learn the first conjugation type in Present. In total, there are 2 conjugation types in Present Tense. And there is one Present Tense in Ukrainian, not 4, like you have in English :)
