Вы всё по́няли? 3.4 То́ни в университе́те

Что вы уви́дите в университе́те?

University buildings in Russia may contain one or more departments. Campus buildings may not have any large plot of land containing dorms and academic buildings in an enclosed space – unlike a U.S. «campus». Dorms and university buildings may be located at some distance from one another. Departments often have their own library, which will usually not have open stacks.

Упражне́ние 2. Он, она́ и́ли они́?

Two of our new expressions have different forms for gender and number: рад has the feminine form ра́да and the plural ра́ды, and the phrase “I didn’t catch that” has the masculine form по́нял, feminine поняла́, and the plural is по́няли. You will learn the grammar connected with these forms later; for now learn the forms as new words.

Listen to each phrase, then choose the situation for which it is appropriate.
