Questions & Answers about Лікар перевірив пульс під час обстеження.
Перевірив is the perfective past form, so it presents the action as completed: the doctor checked the pulse and finished doing so.
By contrast, перевіряв is imperfective, which would focus more on the process, repeated action, or ongoing action. In many contexts:
- Лікар перевірив пульс = The doctor checked the pulse / has checked the pulse
- Лікар перевіряв пульс = The doctor was checking the pulse / used to check the pulse
So in this sentence, перевірив fits a single completed action during the examination.
Лікар is in the nominative singular because it is the subject of the sentence — the person doing the action.
Ukrainian usually marks grammatical roles through case endings, and the subject is normally in the nominative case.
Here:
- лікар = doctor (subject)
- перевірив = checked
- пульс = pulse
