need help with the tense

Hi everyone!

I have to analyse grammatically the following sentence: Завтра я еду в отпуск. And I don't know whether it's present or past, has the word "завтра" but the verb is in present. Shouldn't it be Завтра я буду ехать в отпуск?

Thanks for your help!

genitive instead of accusative

Hi everyone! I have a question regarding the usage of genitive in phrases like: Я не хочу персиков - I don't want peaches. Why should we use genitive here? Can't I just say "Я не хочу персики"? There are many situations like that, with genitive instead of accusative: я хочу воды, купи ябло...

снимок vs фотография

Приветик :)

I'd like to know if I can use the word "снимок" as a synonym of "photograph".
I want to say the following: Send me a picture of your baby when you give birth.

Отправь мне снимок твоей детки, когда ты родишься.

Is it correct?

Thanks a lot for your help!

difference between мыть and чистить

Hi! I would like to know what is the difference between the verbs мыть and чистить (to clean). I know that чистить is the one we use about teeth, like to brush your teeth, but I have seen it in other contexts, чистить плиту for example. I guess it doesn't mean to brush the stove, so I wonder if ther...

Stress when making comparison

Здравия желаю! :) (I read this expression somewhere, I think it can be used as "hello", am I right?) My question to you is the following: When making comparisons of adjectives, sometimes I see that the ending "-ee" is stressed (for example, он сильнее, чем я) and sometimes it is ...
