Russian verbs have different aspects (imperfective and perfective) which influence how the past and future tenses are used. The present tense only uses imperfective verbs. Past tense endings change depending on gender and number, and future tense can be formed either with a compound form (“быть” in future + infinitive) for imperfective verbs, or simple future for perfective verbs.

These exercises can be used to practice conjugating verbs in different tenses with context sentences to solidify usage. Would you like conjugated answer keys or exercises focused on specific verbs or themes? 1, 3, 5
