Traps and common mistakes

Оно or он?

он

он = it for a masculine noun (стол, дом)

Don't mix them up. Russian it follows the noun: masculine (зонт) — он, feminine (лампа) — она, neuter (окно) — оно.

Где мой зонт? Он в машине.

Where's my umbrella? It's in the car.

Где моё кольцо? Оно в шкатулке.

Where's my ring? It's in the box.

Оно or это?

это

это = this/that, pointing at something

Don't mix them up. Pointing at something — Это мой телефон; a noun already mentioned — он, она or оно.

Это мой новый телефон.

This is my new phone.

Мне нравится твоё пальто. Оно тёплое?

I like your coat. Is it warm?
