Thread: Chapter 26 questions

1) Майя вышла замуж за Андрею Шаховского (the nominative is Шаховскои)
ШаховскИЙ. Андрей Шаховский.

2) Я Маше звонила, но её не было
I called Masha but she wasn't (at home). It's a common form for this kind of sentences in Russian, and it really looks a bit strange ). You might also say "но она не была у себя дома", and other people will surely understand what you mean. But the native Russian speaker never say it that way

3) Друзья долго ПРОЩАЛИСЬ. прощались is a sort of.. mmm ... continuos tense in English. Frends have saying goodbye to each other for a while
And the second one is actually right. Попрощались means they have already done it, sort of perfect tense
Hope this will be clear enough about tenses )

I don't understand the correct answer here. In the exercise there is a female name then a male name, both in the nominative and I need to write a sentence saying the female got married to the male. For this example, the names given are Майя and Андрей Шаховской. Doesn't the male name have to be in the accusative? Would the response be Майя вышла замуж за Андрею Шаховского or something else?

Here's another one I'm not sure of, choosing imperfective/perfective.

предлагать/предложить

Аня наверно (will suggest) поехать на дачу не сегодня, а завтра.
Is it будет предлагать?

Thanks,
