Review Summary

  • Object (Nom) + Verb + -ся

자주 하는 실수

Reflexive passive is not for naming the actor. Use active voice if you must include the agent.

Wrong: Дом строится рабочими.
정답: Рабочие строят дом.

Check your spelling of the reflexive suffix carefully.

Wrong: Книга продаюся.
정답: Книга продаётся.

While 'обсуждают' is a valid impersonal construction, 'обсуждается' focuses more on the topic itself as the subject.

Wrong: Это обсуждают.
정답: Это обсуждается.

В центре города сейчас ___ новая школа.

✓ Correct! ✗ Not quite. Correct answer: строится
Since 'школа' is singular and feminine, the verb must be 3rd person singular 'строится'.

자주 묻는 질문 (2)

Use -ся after consonants (e.g., читается) and -сь after vowels (e.g., читались). It's all about making the word easier to pronounce.
Technically no. Я моюсь means 'I wash myself.' Passive reflexive usually applies to inanimate objects being acted upon by people.
