Questions & Answers about Мы пройдём через лес, чтобы быстрее добраться до дома.
Why is пройдём written with ё? Is it really pronounced differently from е?
Yes. Пройдём is pronounced with the yo sound: approximately pruy-DYOM (stress on -дём). In many texts ё is often written as е (so you may see пройдем), but the pronunciation is still пройдём.
What tense is пройдём? Is it present or future?
It’s future. In Russian, perfective verbs don’t have a true present tense; their “present-form” endings express simple future. So мы пройдём = we will go/walk through (and complete it).
Why is пройти used instead of идти or ходить?
Пройти (perfective) focuses on completing the path/segment: to get through / to walk across and be done with it.
- идти is imperfective and would typically describe the process (we are walking / we will be walking), often with a different future construction (будем идти).
- ходить usually means to go (habitually / back and forth), which doesn’t fit a single purposeful route here.
