Через (часть вторая)
Another basic meaning of the word через is “across.” Again it is complemented by the accusative case:
| Миша с Таней перешли через улицу. | Misha and Tanya went across the street. |
| Смотри! Ваня уже переплыл через реку. | Look! Ivan has already swum across the river. |
| Я взял мальчика за руку и перевёл его через улицу.¹ | I took the boy by the hand and led him across the street. |
| Мост через реку ещё не достроен. | The bridge across the river is not yet completed. |
¹ From “Verbs of motion in Russian” by L. Muravyova, Russky Yazyk Publishers, Moscow, 1995, p. 155. This is still my favorite reference textbook on Russian verbs of motion.
