Hi Russian learners,
In today's lesson you will learn about the punctuation in Russian.
Russian punctuation has some important particularities.
Here are the main ones:
Comma
It should be used to separate the main proposition from the subordinate:

- Last year, we went to Russia. = В прошлом году мы ездили в Россию.
