Hi there

I am new to this forum and I was wondering if some kind sould could help me out.

The other day I was given a homework assignment. This assignment was to find 12 differences between Russian and English.

So far, I have found 9 differences and a possible 10th.

This is what I have found so far

1) The alphabet

2) Russian is a phoentic language, unlike English.

3) Russian uses written stress indication

4) Different pronounciation of words

5) English only has one plural form wheras Russian has three or more

6) English words have no gender. Russian has masculine, feminine and neutral

7) If one noun follows another, the second noun will change it's ending sound. The form of the noun indicating it's role in a sentence, be it an object or subject

There are no articles such as "the" or "a" in Russian

9) The present tense of the verb "to be" is omitted in Russian

10) There are more vowels in Russian (this is the one I am unsure of)

I believe that there are at least two more differences between Russian and English.

Is there anyone out there that knows and can help?

Thanks!
