Questions & Answers about Внезапно она узнаёт эту новость и не устаёт весь день.
Why is the verb узнаёт spelled without -ва- when the infinitive is узнавать?
Verbs ending in -знавать, -давать, and -ставать drop the -ва- suffix when conjugated in the present tense. So, узнавать becomes я узнаю, ты узнаёшь, and она узнаёт.
Is устаёт formed the same way as узнаёт?
Yes! The infinitive is уставать (to get tired). Because it ends in -ставать, it also drops the -ва- suffix in the present tense, giving us она устаёт.
Doesn't узнать also mean "to find out"? Why use узнавать here?
Узнать is the perfective aspect, which is used for completed actions (usually past or future). Because this action is happening in the present tense ("she finds out"), we must use the imperfective verb узнавать.
Why does эта change to эту but новость stays the same?
Новость is the direct object, so it must be in the accusative case. It is a feminine noun ending in a soft sign (3rd declension), and these nouns do not change their spelling in the accusative. However, the modifier эта (this) behaves like a standard feminine word and changes to эту.
