Questions & Answers about Завтра я привезу книгу другу.

Why is the verb привезу used here, and what exactly does it mean?

Привезу is the 1st-person singular future form of the perfective verb привезти. It literally means “I will bring (something by transport, usually not by hand).” Because it’s perfective, it focuses on the single, completed action of bringing, and so there is no present tense for привезти—only future.

What’s the difference between привезти and принести? Both look like “to bring.”

They are both perfective and both translate as “to bring,” but:

• принести implies bringing something on foot or by hand (to carry).
• привезти implies bringing something by vehicle or heavier transport (to drive/transport).
  Choose based on how the item is delivered.

Why is книгу in this sentence, and why does it end in –у?

Книга (“book”) is the direct object of привезу, so it takes the accusative case. As a feminine singular noun ending in –а, its accusative form is –у (книга → книгу).

Why is другу used without a preposition, and why that ending?
