How it works

Words like сегодня, завтра, and сейчас often appear early in the clause and quickly make simple Russian more useful. This pattern typically appears as time word + clause and becomes easier when you meet it again in short, readable examples.

What to notice

  • Time words are flexible, but early placement is very common.
  • They help anchor the clause without changing the verb form.

Why it matters

Handle common location and “having” meaning without forcing English structure onto Russian.

Use in context

This is a high-value page because time words are everywhere in daily planning and short stories.
