Questions & Answers about Он работает в одиночку.
Работает is the 3rd person singular present-tense form of работать (to work).
It matches он (he), so:
- я работаю — I work
- ты работаешь — you work
- он работает — he works
So the basic structure is:
Он + работает = He works / He is working
It can mean either one.
Russian present tense does not make the same strict distinction English makes between:
- He works alone
- He is working alone
Both can be expressed by Он работает в одиночку. The exact meaning depends on context.
Without extra context, it often sounds like a general fact or usual way of working: He works alone.
