Verbs of motion</h1></div></div></div><p>In Russian certain verbs have two imperfective forms. These verbs are called the "verbs of
- motion", because they state the basic types of motion — going on foot, going by vehicle,
- flying, swimming, crawling, etc.</p><p>There are only thirteen of these verbs, but they play a large role in both the spoken and
- written language. For our purposes, only the verbs of going, carrying, and leading are used.
- If you are curious, all of the verbs of motion are listed in the Appendix <a class="xref" href="ch08.xhtml#Appendix">page </a> in the back.</p><p>The two imperfective forms of these verbs present alternate views of going, carrying,
- swimming, etc. In general, a Russian needs only two verbs to express all possibilities of a
- verbal idea — the imperfective and the perfective.</p><div class="informaltable"><table style="width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; border-top: 1px solid ; border-bottom: 1px solid ; border-left: 1px solid ; border-right: 1px solid ; "><colgroup><col class="c1"/><col class="c2"/></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center; border-bottom: 1px solid ; " colspan="2"><span class="bold"><strong>verbal idea

- course, if you going to learn Russian you will eventually have to memorize them, but in this
- text it is not obligatory.</p><p>There are in Russian two verb-pairs with the general meaning of "to go", "to come", or "to
- travel", The verbs <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">ходить-идти</em></span> mean "to go on
- foot", and the verbs <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">ездить-ехать</em></span> mean "to go by
- vehicle or some means of conveyance".</p><p>In English we use the verb "to go" much more generally than the Russians. The English
- sentence "I am going to town" has two counterparts in Russian.</p><div class="itemizedlist" epub:type="list"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem" epub:type="list-item"><p><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Я иду в город.</em></span> I am going to town (on
