            when a singular feminine noun is in the nominative case (the subject of the sentence),

          <p>As in English, Russian pronouns change form as their function changes in the sentence.
            Take a look at the following sentences:</p>
          <p><span class="bold"><strong>I know you.</strong></span></p>
          <p><span class="bold"><strong>You know me. </strong></span></p>
          <p>I changes to me when it switches from the role of subject to the role of object.</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>
