Welcome to our lesson on Russian adjective spelling rules.There are specific rules for when to write double N or single N in Russian adjectives.Let's look at the two main cases when we write double N.First, let's see how adjectives are formed from nouns ending in N.Now let's clear the screen and look at adjectives formed with the suffixes ONN and ENN.Now let's look at cases where we write only one N.Let's practice with some more examples.В причастиях пишется НН в трёх основных случаях.Первый случай - когда есть приставка. Например, исписанный.Второй случай - при наличии зависимого слова.Третий случай - если причастие образовано от глагола совершенного вида.Теперь рассмотрим, когда пишется одна Н.Одна Н пишется в причастиях без приставки и зависимых слов, образованных от глаголов несовершенного вида.Например, крашеный, вареный, жареный - все эти причастия пишутся с одной Н.Let's look at important exceptions to our rules about Н and НН.These words always have НН, regardless of the general rules.And these exceptions always have just one Н.Now let's learn how to verify whether a word is a participle or an adjective.The key to verification is trying to replace the word with a verb.Let's look at some examples. First, раненый солдат can be replaced with ранить - so it's a participle.However, учёный человек cannot be replaced with учить in this context - so it's an adjective.Finally, крашеный забор can be replaced with красить - making it a participle.Let's practice with a few more examples.
