It may sometimes be useful to talk about the phases of a process — beginning, interrupting, picking up, and finishing actions. Below are some verbs that will help you express these temporal notions.<\/p>\n

\u041d\u0430\u0447\u0430<\/span>\u0442\u044c<\/h1>\n

\u041d\u0430\u0447\u0438\u043d\u0430<\/span>\u0442\u044c (imperfective)\/\u043d\u0430\u0447\u0430<\/span>\u0442\u044c (perfective) means to begin. It can be followed by an infinite or by a noun in the accusative case.<\/p>\n

  • \u041c\u044b \u043d\u0430<\/span>\u0447\u0430\u043b\u0438 \u0438\u0437\u0443\u0447\u0430<\/span>\u0442\u044c \u0430<\/span>\u043b\u0433\u0435\u0431\u0440\u0443 \u0432 \u043f\u044f<\/span>\u0442\u043e\u043c \u043a\u043b\u0430<\/span>\u0441\u0441\u0435 (We started learning algebra in the 5th grade\/form).<\/li>\n
  • \u041c\u0443\u0437\u044b\u043a\u0430<\/span>\u043d\u0442\u044b \u0434\u043e<\/span>\u043b\u0433\u043e \u043d\u0435 \u043d\u0430\u0447\u0438\u043d\u0430<\/span>\u043b\u0438 \u043a\u043e\u043d\u0446\u0435<\/span>\u0440\u0442 (The musicians took a while to begin the concert).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The related noun is \u043d\u0430\u0447\u0430<\/span>\u043b\u043e.<\/p>\n

    \u041f\u0440\u043e\u0434\u043e<\/span>\u043b\u0436\u0438\u0442\u044c<\/h1>\n

As above, it can be followed by an infinitive or an accusative noun. I would say the noun structure sounds more elegant and is more likely to be encountered in writing.<\/p>\n
