Questions & Answers about Ми дивимося фільм, який розповідає цікаву історію.
Why is there a comma before the relative clause "який розповідає цікаву історію"?
The comma separates the main clause from the relative clause. In Ukrainian, a comma is often used to set off a subordinate clause that provides additional descriptive information about a noun—in this case, extra details about the movie.
What function does the relative clause "який розповідає цікаву історію" serve in the sentence?
It functions as an adjective (or relative) clause modifying the noun "фільм." It explains a characteristic of the movie by telling us that it tells an interesting story.
How does the relative pronoun "який" agree with its antecedent in this sentence?
The pronoun "який" must agree in gender, number, and case with the noun it refers to. Here, "фільм" is a masculine singular noun, so "який" is used in its masculine singular form to correctly match it.
Why is the adjective "цікаву" used in the accusative case?
The adjective "цікаву" modifies the noun "історію," which is the direct object of the verb "розповідає" in the relative clause. Since "історія" is feminine and in the accusative case, "цікаву" is also declined to match it in gender and case.
How is the verb "розповідає" correctly conjugated within the relative clause?
The verb "розповідає" is in the third person singular present tense. It agrees with its subject "фільм" (implicitly the movie referred to by the pronoun "який"), ensuring proper subject-verb agreement in the clause.
