ходил your answer «Ходил» is past tense and contradicts «завтра» (tomorrow). A future form is required. хожу your answer «Хожу» is present tense and describes a repeated action. A single future visit needs «пойду». пойду correct Words like вчера, сейчас and завтра set the tense for the whole sentence, and the verb must agree: вчера ходил, сейчас иду, завтра пойду. In the exam such a cue word is almost always present — find it first and the answer follows.
врач correct учитель your answer A teacher teaches children at school. The person who treats people is a doctor. продавец your answer A shop assistant sells goods. That has nothing to do with treating people. Job titles come up often in the exam, almost always defined by the action: лечит — врач, учит — учитель, продаёт — продавец. Many are built from the verb itself, which is a useful hint: «водитель» from «водить».
в your answer Завод, вокзал, почта and работа take «на»: на заводе, на почте. There is no rule here — it has to be learned as a list. на correct к your answer «К» marks direction of movement (иду к врачу). A place of work needs a preposition of location, not direction. Russian prepositions of place are not logical: «в больнице» but «на заводе», «в магазине» but «на почте». A short list for «на»: заводе, фабрике, почте, вокзале, рынке, работе, улице. Most other places take «в».
нужен your answer «Нужен» is masculine (нужен паспорт). «Помощь» is feminine, so it takes «нужна». нужно your answer «Нужно» is neuter or impersonal (нужно идти). A feminine noun requires «нужна». нужна correct «Нужен» agrees with the thing that is needed: нужен паспорт, нужна помощь, нужно время, нужны документы. The person who needs it goes in the dative (мне, ему). Check the noun, not the pronoun.
Вызвать лифт кнопкой your answer The notice says plainly that the lift is out of order, so pressing the button will not help. Подняться по лестнице correct Прийти в другой день your answer The notice does not close the building or postpone anything. Only the lift is out of service. «Не работает» means the thing is broken and cannot be used. Such notices appear on lifts, cash machines and payment terminals. «Приносим извинения» is a polite formula and does not change the meaning: find another way — here, the stairs.
К терапевту в кабинет your answer The doctor sees patients who already have a ticket; the ticket itself is issued elsewhere, and the notice names the place. В аптеку your answer A pharmacy sells medicine; it does not issue appointment tickets. В регистратуру correct «Регистратура» is the desk at the clinic entrance where appointments are booked and tickets issued. Learn it together with «кабинет» (the room where the doctor sees patients) and «расписание» (opening hours).
имя, которое вам дали при рождении your answer That is the «Имя» (first name) line. «Фамилия» is the family name and has its own line. фамилию отца полностью your answer You write your own surname exactly as it appears in your passport. The father’s name goes in the «Отчество» line, where one exists. фамилию так, как она написана в паспорте correct In any form, your surname, first name and patronymic must match your passport and its notarised translation letter for letter. If the translation and the form differ, the documents come back: to the authorities those are two different people.
Чинят обувь correct Продают обувь your answer Selling would be signalled by “магазин” or “обувь” without “ремонт”. The key word here is “ремонт” — repair. Шьют обувь на заказ your answer Bespoke work is called “пошив обуви” or “обувь на заказ”. “Ремонт” means mending what already exists. “Ремонт” means repair. It appears on signs constantly: shoe repair, phone repair, clothing repair. Recognising it on a sign matters more than being able to spell it.
Сейчас обед, надо подождать correct Обед уже закончился your answer 13:30 lies between 13:00 and 14:00 — inside the break, which ends at 14:00. Обед начнётся через полчаса your answer The break is already under way: it began at 13:00. In half an hour it ends, not starts. The prepositions “с” and “до” set the start and the end: from 13:00, until 14:00. Any time in between falls inside the break.
Город или село, где человек родился correct Адрес, где человек живёт сейчас your answer There is a separate field for that — “Место жительства” or “Адрес регистрации”. Your place of birth never changes. Название роддома your answer You do not name the institution: the passport and birth certificate give the settlement, and the form must match the document. In “Place of birth” you write exactly what the passport says: the town, settlement or village, plus region and country if needed. Any mismatch with the document gets the form returned.
этот correct это your answer “Это” is neuter, but “билет” is masculine: этот билет, эта карта, это место. эти your answer “Эти” is plural: эти билеты. The question has one ticket. The demonstrative agrees with the noun: этот билет (masc.), эта справка (fem.), это место (neut.), эти документы (plural).
два correct две your answer “Две” is feminine: две недели, две справки. “Год” is masculine, so “два года”. двух your answer “Двух” is genitive and needs a preposition: “в течение двух лет”. Without one you use “два”. After два, три, четыре the noun takes the genitive singular: два года, три месяца, четыре дня. With five and more it is the genitive plural: пять лет.
ходил correct хожу your answer “Хожу” is present tense, but the sentence has “вчера”: you need the past. пойду your answer “Пойду” is future. “Yesterday” and the future do not go together in one sentence. Time words set the verb form: вчера → past (ходил), сейчас → present (хожу), завтра → future (пойду). Check these three words first.
Документ об оплате correct Разрешение на работу your answer A work authorisation is a permit; a receipt only confirms a payment. Справка о здоровье your answer A health certificate is issued by a doctor and is called a medical certificate. A receipt is about money. A receipt proves the money was paid. Keep it: with a work permit it is the receipt that proves the payment was made and made on time.
В школе your answer Schools have pupils, not patients. «Приём врача» also points to a medical institution. В поликлинике correct В магазине your answer «Пациенты» are people who have come to a doctor. In a shop they are called customers. The key words here are «пациенты» (patients) and «приём врача» (doctor's appointment). Both belong only to medicine, so the notice hangs in a clinic or a hospital. In tasks like this you do not need to understand the whole text: it is enough to find one word that occurs in only one kind of place.
В воскресенье correct В обед your answer The notice says «без перерыва» — no midday break, so the shop does not close during the day. После 9:00 your answer 9:00 is the opening time, not the closing time. The shop closes at 21:00. The task asks when the shop is NOT open. The text gives two indications of time: the opening hours and the day off. The words «без перерыва» (no break) deliberately close off the lunchtime option.
название страны, гражданином которой вы являетесь correct название города, где вы родились your answer The city of birth goes in the «Место рождения» line; that is a different line on the form. название страны, где вы сейчас живёте your answer Place of residence is the «Адрес» or «Место жительства» line. Citizenship does not depend on where you live. «Гражданство» means citizenship — belonging to a state, not a place of birth and not a place of residence. A person may be born in one city, live in another country and hold the citizenship of a third. On forms these lines are always separate.
на correct в your answer «В» is used when an enclosed interior is meant: в цехе, в магазине. A building site is an open area, so it takes «на». к your answer The preposition «к» answers «where to, to whom» and is not used with places of work: «иду к врачу», but «работаю на стройке». Russian uses «на» with open sites and many workplaces: на стройке, на заводе, на рынке, на вокзале. It uses «в» with enclosed spaces: в магазине, в офисе, в больнице. There is no reliable rule behind the split — it is convention, and the safest approach is to learn the common workplaces as a list rather than to reason it out.
документы your answer After «нет» the noun stands in the genitive: нет чего? — документов. «Документы» is the nominative, which is impossible here. документам your answer «Документам» is the dative, which answers «чему». After «нет» the genitive is required. документов correct «Нет» in the sense of absence always requires the genitive case: нет времени, нет денег, нет документов. Check yourself with the question «нет чего?». This is one of the most frequent mistakes on the exam, because many languages leave the noun unchanged after a negation of existence.
пойду your answer «Пойду» is the future tense. With «вчера» it contradicts the meaning of the sentence. ходил correct хожу your answer «Хожу» is the present tense and does not combine with «вчера». A past-tense form is needed. The word «вчера» (yesterday) marks past time, and the verb must agree with it. Russian verbs cannot be left tense-neutral: they always carry a tense form. Look for the time word in the sentence — вчера, сейчас, завтра — and let it choose the verb.
Извините, пожалуйста… correct Эй, послушай! your answer This is a rude form of address. «Эй» and «ты» to a stranger sound impolite in Russian. Друг, иди сюда your answer «Друг» to a stranger sounds over-familiar, and «иди» is a command in the «ты» form. Strangers are addressed with «вы». A stranger is addressed with «вы» and the request opens with an apology: «Извините», «Простите», «Будьте добры». This is not mere politeness — without such an opening the request sounds like a demand. The «ты» / «вы» distinction is strict in Russian, and using «ты» to a stranger is read as rudeness rather than friendliness.
на your answer Russian does not use «на» with city names. «На» goes with open spaces and institutions (на площади, на вокзале); a city always takes «в». в correct у your answer «У» means “next to someone” or “at someone’s place” (у брата, у врача). It is not used for the city you live in. Cities, countries and most places of residence take the preposition «в»: в Москве, в России. After «в» the noun goes into the prepositional case, so Москва becomes «в Москве». Remember the pair: «в городе» but «на улице».
новый your answer «Новый» is masculine. The noun «работа» is feminine, so the adjective must match it: новая. новое your answer «Новое» is neuter, used with nouns ending in -о or -е (новое место). «Работа» ends in -а and is feminine. новая correct Russian nouns have grammatical gender, and adjectives always match the gender of their noun. The ending usually tells you: -а/-я is feminine, a consonant is masculine, -о/-е is neuter. «Работа» ends in -а, so it takes «новая».
сына correct сын your answer After «два» Russian uses the genitive singular, not the dictionary form: два сына. сыновья your answer «Сыновья» is plural, used after «пять» and higher. After два, три and четыре Russian uses the genitive singular. After два, три and четыре a Russian noun takes the genitive singular: два сына, три года. From пять upwards it takes the genitive plural: пять сыновей. This is one of the most common mistakes in the exam.
документы your answer «Нет» requires the genitive: нет документов. «Документы» is nominative, which answers “what is there?”, not “what is missing”. документов correct документам your answer «Документам» is dative, answering “to whom / to what”. It never follows «нет». Absence in Russian is expressed with «нет» plus the genitive: нет документов, нет времени. The rule is absolute; check it with the question «нет чего?». Note the shift: «есть документы» but «нет документов».
Сейчас открыто, можно войти your answer 13:30 falls inside the 13:00–14:00 window, which is precisely the lunch break. Учреждение закрыто на весь день your answer The notice names a two-hour window, not the whole day. Service resumes after 14:00. Сейчас закрыто, нужно подождать до 14:00 correct The prepositions «с» and «до» mark a span: с 13:00 до 14:00 covers everything in between, so 13:30 is inside the break. Notices like this hang on the doors of clinics, banks and migration offices — read them before you travel, not at a closed door.
Те, кто здесь работает correct Любой посетитель your answer The word «только» (only) shuts the door to everyone else. A visitor is not a member of staff. Только руководитель your answer «Сотрудники» means all the people who work there, not just the manager. «Сотрудник» means an employee of the organisation, and «только» restricts entry to them alone. Signs like this appear in clinics, banks and government offices; there is normally a separate entrance for visitors nearby.
ваш возраст в годах your answer Your age changes every year; your date of birth never does. Forms ask for the date because it is fixed and matches your passport. число, месяц и год вашего рождения correct город, где вы родились your answer Your city of birth belongs in the «Место рождения» line. «Дата» refers to time, not place. «Дата рождения» means the day, month and year — for example 05.03.1990. Russian forms use day-month-year order, not month-day-year. The details must match your passport exactly: a mismatch in the date is a common reason for documents being returned.
