Answer 1

Answer in detail. Define the aspect and tense of the verbs. Mark the ending, say how they differ.

1) Идёт, может, дует, сохнет, желтеет, зеленеет, срывает, бросает, засохнет. These verbs are all imperfective, except for засохнет, which is perfective. Imperfective verbs express an action that is incomplete, ongoing, habitual, or repeated. Perfective verbs express an action that is completed, one-time, or has a definite result. The endings of these verbs indicate the person, number, and tense of the verb. Here are the endings and their meanings:

- Идёт: -ёт is the ending for the third person singular present tense. It means "he/she/it goes". - Может: -ет is the ending for the third person singular present tense. It means "he/she/it can". - Дует: -ет is the ending for the third person singular present tense. It means "he/she/it blows". - Сохнет: -ет is the ending for the third person singular present tense. It means "he/she/it dries". - Желтеет: -еет is the ending for the third person singular present tense. It means "he/she/it turns yellow". - Зеленеет: -еет is the ending for the third person singular present tense. It means "he/she/it turns green". - Срывает: -ет is the ending for the third person singular present tense. It means "he/she/it tears off". - Бросает: -ет is the ending for the third person singular present tense. It means "he/she/it throws". - Засохнет: -нет is the ending for the third person singular future tense. It means "he/she/it will dry up".

2) Просит, кричит, стучит, строит, молчит. These verbs are all imperfective and have the same ending: -ит. This ending is for the third person singular present tense. It means "he/she/it asks, shouts, knocks, builds, is silent".
