Personal pronouns in the Accusative
The audio for the lesson is available at the bottom of the screen under the blue button.
A few previous lessons we have dedicated to the nouns in the Accusative case. Today we start looking at the pronouns in the Accusative and this lesson is dedicated to the personal pronouns. The good news is that the personal pronouns in the Accusative look exactly the same as in the Genitive.
я – меня́
ты – тебя́
он – его́ / него́ *
она – её / неё *
оно – его́ / него́ *
мы – нас
вы – вас
они – их / них *
* – add Н if a pronoun goes after a preposition
Examples and practice:
Ты его́ ви́дишь?
Do you see him?
Я не ви́жу тебя́.
I don’t see you.
В него́ стреля́ли.
He was shot. (They shot him)
Вот кни́га, прочита́й её.
Here is a book, read it.
Я его́ не зна́ю.
I don’t know him.
