Questions & Answers about Я ценю твоё время.
What is the infinitive of ценю, and what conjugation pattern does it follow?
ценю comes from the imperfective verb ценить. As an -ить verb, it belongs to the second conjugation:
я – ценю,
ты – ценишь,
он/она – ценит,
мы – ценим,
вы – цените,
они – ценят.
Why is твоё used instead of твой or твоя?
Possessive pronouns in Russian agree in gender, number, and case with their noun. время is neuter and singular, so твой takes its neuter form твоё in the nominative/accusative.
Why is твоё spelled with ё instead of e?
The letter ё signals the “yo” sound and marks the stressed syllable. In many texts ё is replaced by e, but using ё removes ambiguity and shows exactly where to place the stress.
Which case is время in, and why does it look the same as the nominative form?
