          <p>But "Red Square" is still Red Square!</p>

          <p><strong class="bold"><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Кра́сная
              пло́щадь</span></strong> has been called <strong class="bold"><span lang="ru"
                class="foreignphrase">Кра́сная</span></strong> (red) since the second half of the
            17th century. The square was constructed towards the end of the 15th century (around the
            time of Columbus' discovery of America) when Tsar Ivan the Great <strong class="bold"
                ><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Ива́н Вели́кий</span></strong> was building
            the magnificent cathedrals of the Kremlin <strong class="bold"><span lang="ru"
                class="foreignphrase">Кремль</span></strong>, that walled fortress which was the
            heart of the city's defenses. Every major city in Russia would have had a Kremlin, but
            the Moscow one is by far the most famous.</p>

          <p>The square was first called <strong class="bold"><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"
                >Торг</span></strong> (Trading Place) and was the site for some very lively
            commerce. Later, in the 16th century, it became known as<strong class="bold">
              <span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Тро́ицкая</span></strong> (Trinity Square) in
            honor of the Trinity Cathedral which stood at the southern end of the square. In 1571
            the square was renamed <strong class="bold"><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"
                >Пожа́р</span></strong> (The Fire) after the great fire of that year. Finally, the
            square was named <strong class="bold"><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"
                >Кра́сная</span></strong> when it was cleared of all the trading stalls at the end
            of the 17th century. At that time the word <strong class="bold"><span lang="ru"
                class="foreignphrase">кра́сный</span>
            </strong>(red) meant <strong class="bold"><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"
                >краси́вый</span></strong> (beautiful), and had nothing to do with the red brick of
            the Kremlin wall which runs along one of its sides.</p>

            <p>Russian is an <em class="italic">inflected </em>language which simply means that
              nouns (and their modifiers) will change their shape to indicate a change of function
              within the sentence. A noun may function as a <strong class="bold">subject</strong>,
              an <strong class="bold">indirect object</strong> or <strong class="bold">direct
                object</strong> or the <strong class="bold">object of a preposition</strong>. In
              each instance it will change its ending to inform you of its particular role.</p>

            <p>Each of these functions is indicated by a set of endings (1 each for each of the
              genders and 1 for plural), which are grouped into CASES:</p>

              masculine gender; those referring to female beings will be feminine gender.</p>

            <p>In most cases, the gender of the noun can be determined by its ending. The table

            <p>Adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in gender, number and case. This means
              that when a singular feminine noun is in the nominative case (the subject of the
              sentence), the adjective that describes that noun must be nominative, singular,
              feminine. Since the noun and adjective do not necessarily stand together in the
              sentence, agreement is especially important. Agreement in the nominative may look like
              this:</p>

            <p>Russian uses pronouns in much the same way English does; they take the place of, or
              refer back to nouns. The table below shows the correspondence between Russian and
              English pronouns:</p>

            </div>

            <p>As you can see by this table, Russian has two pronouns for the second person you.
                <strong class="bold"><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Ты</span></strong> is
              informal and singular; <strong class="bold"><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"
                  >вы</span></strong> is formal and/or plural. (See the comments on <strong
                class="bold"><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">ты</span></strong> and<strong
                class="bold">
                <span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">вы</span></strong> in Lesson 3).</p>

            <p>As in English, Russian pronouns change form as their function changes in the
              sentence. Take a look at the following sentences:</p>

            <p><strong class="bold">I know you.</strong></p>

            <p><strong class="bold">You know me. </strong></p>

            <p>I changes to me when it switches from the role of subject to the role of object.</p>

            <p><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Я зна́ю <strong class="bold"
                >вас.</strong></span></p>

            <p><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><strong class="bold">Вы</strong> зна́ете
                  <strong class="bold">меня́</strong>.</span></p>

              first three forms shown here are the masculine, neuter and feminine forms,
              respectively. The fourth is the plural. Compare these forms to those of the adjectives

            <p>The nominative case is used to indicate the subject of a sentence. It is also used
              for other nouns in the sentence which give more information about the subject. As it
              is the dictionary form for nouns and adjectives, you should memorize nouns and
              adjectives in their nominative case forms.</p>

            <p>Because Russian has cases, word order in a sentence is less important than it is in
              English. The subject [that noun plus its modifiers in the nominative case] can come at
              the beginning, in the middle or at the end of the sentence. Knowing the nominative
              case endings for nouns and adjectives will help you find the subject of the sentence
              more quickly.</p>

            <p>Adjectives are linked to their nouns by their endings. The adjective may stand in
              front of, after, or at a distance from the noun it modifies. You can always find the
              adjective which modifies a noun by looking for the one whose ending matches in gender,
              number, and case that of the noun.</p>
