Russian grammar tables
Russian nouns - Russian adjectives - Russian pronouns
Here you will find helpful grammar tables, that you can use when studying, reading Russian texts or doing exercises.
1. Tables of Russian nouns
There 6 cases in the Russian Case System. A case indicates the function of a word (object, subject, mode,...). If you want to know more about cases and how to use them, you can visit our Russian cases course.
In the tables below you can find all noun endings for each case.

Noun endings in nominative: In this table you can find the endings of the Russian nouns for each gender (masculine, feminine and neuter).
2. Tables of Russian adjectives
Russian adjectives agree with the noun in gender, number and case. In our course on Russian cases we have created two lessons for each grammatical case: a one lesson for nouns and one lesson for adjectives.
In the tables below you can see the different endings of Russian adjectives for each case.
3. Tables of Russian pronouns
Both in Russian and English we have personal pronouns (I, you, he, she, it, we,...) and possessive pronouns (my, your, his, her, our,...)
Case system for Russian pronouns
You'll find below two tables: possessive and personal pronouns. Each table shows the 6 Russian cases and their endings.
In our Russian cases course you will find examples of Russian pronouns for each grammatical case.

n this table you can find the endings of Russian possessive pronouns in nominative for each gender (masculine, feminine and neuter)
4. Tables of Russian numbers
Numbers are part of the basic vocabulary that every student who starts studying Russian needs to know. Knowing how to pronounce them is a matter of practice and patience (here we have the list of all the numbers from 0 to 1000 with the pronunciation). But, unfortunately, knowing how to count to 1000 in Russian is not enough. The complexity lies in knowing how to decline the numbers in all cases. Here you can see the table of declensions.
What is grammar? Grammar is the study of the set rules that tell us how to speak and write in any language correctly. Thanks to learning grammar, we know how to build words and phrases. In other words, it is not enough to know many Russian words, you also need to know how to use them in the right order and with the right endings, so you can create sentences in Russian.
When should you start learning grammar? When it comes learning a foreign language, the more you learn the better. That's quite logical. But in order to set priorities, we have to know the best moment for each step in the learning process. In general, we can say that right at the beginning you shouldn't worry about grammar too much. Once you know some vocabulary, you can start having a look at cases, verb tenses or the word order in a sentence. In other words, before knowing grammar you should learn vocabulary.
Russian language is not an exception: the case system is important, but knowing it perfectly won't help you much if your vocabulary is limited. If you have just started learning Russian, you can visit other sections in this website (for example, our Russian courses for beginners) before focusing on grammar.
