    In your word of the day today, доказать, could you also provide the present tense declension of the verb for all persons and the audio?
    Thank you!!!!

    • Learn Russian Words says:

      Hi Victor,

      Доказать is a perfective verb, it does not have the Present form.

      In general, the conjugation of a verb is always available as a link under the examples: https://learnrussianwords.com/conjugation/dokazat/

      As for the audio, unfortunately, our human resources are too limited to provide audios for every conjugated form at this moment. But you can copy-paste it in Google Translate and listen to it there. The quality of the synthesized audio is quite good these days.
