| It (is)+ ANOTHER WORD |
| Here are some examples of neutral gender use. In the Present tense Russians omit the link-verb TO BE.(But not in the past!) Imagine you that you omit IS in English: He is a man > He a man. This is a book > This a book. But this is only in Present! Please, notice how the endings of the Russian words depend on whether it is "I, SHE, HE or IT" |
