  2. without some form of transport, Russian uses a system of verbs commonly
  3. referred to as the "verbs of motion". These verbs are grouped in a way
  4. unique from other verbs and, in many respects, follow their own logic
  5. and system in terms of usage. The following is a very brief and
  6. schematic explanation of these verbs. For more detailed information, you
  7. should consult any of the handbooks on Russian grammar available.</p></section><section class="section" title="&#34;Going&#34; verbs" epub:type="division" id="d0e33942"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">"Going" verbs</h3></div></div></div><p>There are 3 verbs which convey the message of simply
