Questions & Answers about Потом ты выучишь ещё несколько новых конструкций.
What does Потом mean and how is it used here?
Потом is an adverb meaning then or afterwards. It indicates that this action will happen later, following something previously mentioned or implied.
Which tense and aspect is expressed by выучишь?
Выучишь is the second person singular future tense of the perfective verb выучить (to learn completely). Because it’s perfective, it forms a simple future—ты выучишь means you will learn/master.
What role does the prefix вы- play in выучишь compared to учишь?
The prefix вы- adds a sense of completion. While учишь (from учить) implies an ongoing process of learning, выучишь (from выучить) means you will learn something fully or completely.
Why is the pronoun ты used in this sentence?
Ты is the informal second person singular “you” in Russian. It’s used with people you know well—friends, family, peers—so in a learning context it addresses the learner directly and familiarly.
Why are новых конструкций in the genitive plural?
After несколько (a few, several), the noun must appear in the genitive plural. The adjective новых also takes genitive plural to agree with конструкций.
What is the nuance of ещё несколько compared to just несколько?
Несколько means a few or several, indicating an unspecified small number. Adding ещё (“more”/“still”) gives ещё несколько, meaning a few more—implying addition to what’s already been learned.
How is ё in ещё and the letter щ pronounced?
In ещё, ё is pronounced “yo.” The letter щ is a soft “shch” sound ([ɕː] in IPA). So ещё sounds like ye-SHCHÓ, with stress on the second syllable.
How would you translate конструкций in this context?
Literally конструкций means constructions, but in language learning it refers to grammatical structures, sentence patterns, or set phrases you’ll learn to use.
