Russian pronoun and adjective practice

Adjectives and words like “my” and “this” agree with their noun: they copy its gender, number and case in their own ending. Pronouns change form by case too. Each question gives you the noun; you choose the matching word.

Short adjectives

Some adjectives have a short form used after the subject, with no verb “is”. A few, like рад (glad) and до́лжен (must), only exist in the short form. Short adjectives guide →

Choose “busy”Masculine Он сейча́с … He’s busy right now.
