🎯

The 'They' Rule

Always look at the 'они' form of the verb to find the right present suffix. Если 'они пишут', то 'пишущий'.

よくある間違い

Active participles act as adjectives. They describe a noun, they don't replace the verb.

Wrong: Читающий книга (Reading book)
正解: Читающий книгу человек (A person reading a book)

Remember to match the gender of the participle to the noun it modifies.

Wrong: Написан письмо (Written letter)
正解: Написанное письмо (The written letter)

Use passive participles for completed actions, not active ones.

Wrong: Сделающий задание (The doing task)
正解: Сделанное задание (The completed task)

Find and fix the mistake:

Письмо было написан вчера.

'Письмо' is neuter, so the participle must end in -о (написано).

よくある質問 (4)

It's a verb form that acts like an adjective, describing a noun that is performing an action, like 'the reading boy'.
You treat it exactly like an adjective. It must match the noun's gender, number, and case (e.g., читающий, читающая, читающее, читающие).
Long forms (купленный) act like adjectives and describe nouns. Short forms (куплен) act like verbs and tell you the state of something.
Russian spelling rules! Long passive participles have -нн-, but when you shorten them to the 'status' form, they drop one -н-.
