Questions & Answers about Мы пройдём через парк, чтобы быстрее добраться.

What does пройдём mean, and why is it used instead of идём?

Пройдём is the first-person plural future form of the perfective verb пройти, meaning “we will walk (through and complete the action).” If you used the imperfective идти, you’d get мы будем идти (we will be walking), which focuses on the ongoing process rather than the fact of getting through the park.

Why is через парк in the accusative case?

The preposition через always governs the accusative case to indicate movement “through” or “across” something. Hence парк becomes парк (no change in form but interpreted as accusative).

What is the role of чтобы in this sentence?

Чтобы is a conjunction meaning “in order to.” It introduces a purpose clause, linking the action of walking through the park to the goal of getting somewhere faster.

Can we omit чтобы and say “Мы пройдём через парк, быстрее добраться”?

No. Without чтобы, the sentence would lack the proper connector between the main clause and the infinitive of purpose. You could rephrase with a finite verb—e.g., “Мы пройдём через парк, и тогда доберёмся быстрее”—but you can’t simply drop чтобы before the infinitive here.

What does добраться mean, and why is it in the perfective infinitive?
