У меня есть

You already know how to say that you have something. In this lesson, you will learn how also say that you do not have something in Russian.

Let's remember how to say what you have. Look at the concordance lines and summarize what people from those texts have.

Now that you remember how to say what you have, look at the 2 boxes below. What are the differences that you see?

While thinking about differences, try to answer those questions:

1) What is the verb in the first box?

2) Is there a verb in the second box?

3) What is the case we use after the highlighted phrase in the first box?

4) What is the case we use after the highlighted phrase in the second box?

Think about things yin your apartment that you have and don't have. Also, think about your parents house, and what things are there. Complete the sentences using at least 3 things for each:
