Questions & Answers about Завтра мы везём новое оборудование и кислород на базу.
Why is везём used here instead of возим?
Везём is a unidirectional verb of motion. It specifically means transporting something by vehicle in one direction for a single trip. Because this sentence describes one specific, planned trip tomorrow to the base, we use the unidirectional везти rather than the multidirectional возить, which would imply a repeated, round-trip, or habitual transport.
The word Завтра means tomorrow, so why is the verb везём in the present tense?
Just like in English when we say "Tomorrow we are taking...", Russian often uses the present tense of verbs of motion to talk about a firmly planned, scheduled event in the near future. You could use a future tense here, but the present tense is very common and perfectly natural for a set plan.
Why don't the endings for новое оборудование and кислород change, since they are the objects being transported?
They actually are in the accusative case because they are the direct objects receiving the action of the verb. However, both оборудование (neuter) and кислород (masculine) are inanimate nouns. For neuter and inanimate masculine nouns, the accusative case looks exactly the same as the nominative (dictionary) form.
Why do we use на базу instead of в базу to say "to the base"?
