    Androvsky, your printing is worse than my handwriting, are you training to be a doctor

    I had a go at your list. I wrote the same as Lampada except I got a couple of different answers???

    15: To look at the clock
    I wrote 'смотреть на часы' instead of 'посмотреть на часы' - presumably it has to be 'посмотреть' if you look at the clock to find out the time, as opposed to looking at the clock because you are waiting for a particular time to arrive

    And for
    23: Under the Gate
    Лежать под воротом – Lie under a gate - так, лежать под воротами - Lie under the gates?
    So is it Ползти под ворот – Crawl under a gate
    (Ползти под вороты - Crawl under the gates)

    Absolutely correct.
    And for
    23: Under the Gate
    Лежать под воротом – Lie under a gate - так, лежать под воротами - Lie under the gates?So is it Ползти под ворот – Crawl under a gate
    (Ползти под вороты - Crawl under the gates)
    Ворота is always plural.
    So it's always "лежать под воротами" and "ползти(куда?) под ворота" or "ползти(где?) под воротами"
    "Happy new year, happy new year
    May we all have a vision now and then
    Of a world where every neighbour is a friend"

    Thanks Friendy.

    Can I use my original accusative construction if I want to say, 'Ползти под грузовик, чтобы прятаться' и 'Ползти под вороты, чтобы видеть дом'. I want to say that I crawled to a point under the gates in order to see something.

    btw - I have seen gates in Russia that are bigger than my office building in Central London

    Yes, it's correct except that accusative from "ворота" is "ворота" and not вороты so it's "под ворота".

    I get it Friendy.

    I seriously thought I was going mad. Here's why. I have ABBYY Linvo 9.0 English-Russian Electronic Dictionary. When you search for ворота you can then list the 'Word Forms' (You may be familiar with the software). There are three windows which you can flick through with a [Next>] button. The first two are for ворот (collar), which I didn't notice until now! And the 3rd is for ворота. I thought you were referring to some genitive form that I knew nothing about!

    Thank you Friendy for persevering. I'll try and pay more attention next time

    The second "ворот" is "windlass, winch".
