Questions & Answers about В клинике вакцинация проводится бесплатно.
Why is клинике in the prepositional case and not in another case?
In Russian, the preposition в meaning “in” (with location) requires the prepositional case. The ending -е on клиника shows it’s singular prepositional, so в клинике = “in the clinic.”
What part of speech is вакцинация, and what role does it play here?
вакцинация is a feminine noun (a Latin-derived loanword) in the nominative singular. It functions as the subject of the sentence, referring to the act or process of vaccinating.
The verb проводится—what form is this, and why is it used instead of an active form?
проводится is the passive (indefinite) form of проводить (“to conduct, carry out”), imperfective aspect, present tense, 3rd person singular.
- Passive because the performer of the action (the person or medical staff) isn’t specified.
- Imperfective because it describes a general, habitual action (“is carried out regularly”).
Why is проводится singular and not plural?
Russian verbs agree with their subjects. Here, вакцинация is singular (feminine), so the verb must be 3rd person singular: проводится. A plural verb would require a plural subject.
