Questions & Answers about Такси уже подъехало к подъезду, можешь спускаться.
Because такси is an indeclinable noun in Russian, and it is treated as neuter singular.
So in the past tense, the verb agrees with it:
- такси подъехало = the taxi arrived/pulled up
Compare:
- автобус подъехал — the bus pulled up
- машина подъехала — the car pulled up
- такси подъехало — the taxi pulled up
Even though такси refers to a vehicle with a driver, grammatically it is still neuter.
Подъехать means to drive up to, to pull up to, or to arrive by vehicle near something.
It is different from the more general приехать:
- приехать = to arrive (by transport), in general
- подъехать = to come up close to a specific place
So:
- Такси уже подъехало к подъезду suggests the taxi has not just “arrived in the area,” but has come right up to the entrance.
