Lesson#1
In this deck, you will learn how to explain goals, intentions, and wishes in Russian using the conjunction 'чтобы'. You will practise stating why you carry out an action, asking about necessary steps, and telling others what you want them to do. This will help you link your ideas into smooth, natural sentences.
Lesson#2
When the subject of both clauses is the same, use 'чтобы' followed directly by an infinitive verb. For example, 'Отец включил телевизор, чтобы посмотреть новости' means 'The father turned on the television to watch the news'. You also use this structure when going somewhere to get something, like 'пойти в аптеку, чтобы купить лекарство', meaning 'to go to the pharmacy to buy medicine'.
