Imperfective verbs can conjugate in three tenses: Present, Past, and Future Compound. 2. Perfective verbs can conjugate in two tenses: Past and Future Simple. 3. Imperfective verbs express actions that are ongoing, incomplete, or repeated, while perfective verbs convey the successfully completed result of an action. There are many aspectual pairs of verbs that share meaning but differ in aspect. 4. Only singular verbs in past tense and in conditional mood have the category of gender. 5. If person or gender does not affect the conjugation of a verb, these categories are marked in gray. 6. Not all verbs have imperative forms or some conjugations, so they may be omitted in the video. 7. The slides 8/34 and 26/34 use only a male voice, while 11/34 and 29/34 use only a female voice, as they are in the first person. 8. I omitted neuter gender conjugation for some verbs, as it may be uncommon or unused with certain verbs. In Russian, neuter nouns include, for example, "со́лнце" (sun), "мо́ре" (sea), "вре́мя" (time), etc. The past tense and conditional form of "сиде́ть" in the neuter gender is "сиде́ло". 9. The correspondence to English tenses in translation may be inaccurate because the choice of tense depends on context and style, and whether the action was continuous or a completed event. For example, Future Compound Tense can express a completed action in the future, not just a continuous or unfinished one. 10. The particle "бы" in conditional verbs can appear before or after the verb. Both options are grammatically correct, with the possible difference in style and intonation. 11. Conditi
