There are six forms (deverbals) which are derived from verbs and which are not generally listed in dictionaries — you must look up the infinitive of the verb to find out what they mean.
|
Four of these forms are declined like adjectives; they are called participles.
|
The other two forms are indeclinable, like adverbs, and are called deverbal adverbs; some grammars call them gerunds. When you read Russian you have to be able to recognize these forms; the following chart displays their characteristic suffixes.
