Verbs of motion 🤟🏻 yeahhh
Let’s start from the very beginning.
———
🔴 NOTE: all the paired verbs of motion without prefixes are IMPERFECTIVE.

The verbs “ИДТИ-ХОДИТЬ” convey motion of people or animals ON FOOT. They are also used to describe the motion of public transport.
✔️ ИДТИ - unidirectional - a movement in one direction or to a named destination.
The key words:
➖СЕГОДНЯ today
➖ЗАВТРА tomorrow
➖СЕЙЧАС right now
✏️Я иду на работу. ↪️ I’m going to work.
✏️Сегодня мы идём в ресторан. We’re going to a restaurant tonight.
✏️Сейчас я иду домой. I’m going home right now.
✏️Автобус идёт. A bus goes.

✔️ХОДИТЬ - multidirectional - to describe repeated return journeys and habitual actions or a random motion.
The key words:
➖КАЖДЫЙ ДЕНЬ every day
➖ОБЫЧНО usually
➖ВСЕГДА always
➖ЧАСТО often
➖НИКОГДА never
✏️Я хожу на работу. 🔁 I go to work.
✏️Каждый вторник я хожу в спортзал. Every Tuesday I go to the gym.
✏️Мы часто ходим в кино. We often go to the movies.
✏️Он никогда туда не ходит. He never goes there.
✏️Трамвай #4 ходит по этой улице. The tram #4 goes along this street.

✔️ХОДИТЬ also denotes the ability or skill to perform an action:
Ребёнок ещё не ходит. A kid can’t walk yet.

❗️To memorize:
➖Время идёт. Time is going by.
➖Жизнь идёт. Life is passing.
➖На улице идёт дождь. It’s raining.
➖В театре идёт спектакль. There is a play in the theater.

PS: the Russian system of motional verbs is absolutely different from English. You should take into consideration the Russian logic but not to translate the verb “go”from English into Russian.

Who is still struggling with adverbs “давно” and “долго”? This post is a must read 👇🏻

✔️ДОЛГО implies the duration of an action.
✔️ДАВНО indicates a period of time that has passed since the moment of an action.

✏️Он долго ждал её в ресторане.
He has been waiting for her at a restaurant for a long time.
✏️Я долго жила и работала в Китае.
I have lived and worked in China for a long time.
✏️Она давно изучала русский язык.
She studied Russian a long time ago.
✏️Это было давно.
That was a long time ago.

❗️ДАВНО and THE PRESENT TENSE are used to show that an action has already been lasting for some time:
✏️Ты давно её знаешь?
How long have you known her?
✏️Я давно думаю об этом.
I’ve been thinking about that for a long time now.
✏️Он давно живёт здесь?
Has he been living here for long?

❗️ДОЛГО and THE FUTURE TENSE are used to find out when an action can be finished:
✏️Ты долго ещё будешь здесь?
How much longer will you be here?
✏️Мы ещё долго будем тебя ждать? - уже иду!
How much longer will we have to wait for you?
- I’m coming!
✏️Ты долго ещё будешь работать? - весь вечер.
How much longer will you be working? - the whole evening.
