The verb наблюдать (to observe, to watch, to monitor) can be used in two ways: 1️⃣ With за + Instrumental 2️⃣ Without за (directly with the Accusative case)
But what’s the difference? 🤔
Use this form when you’re watching or looking at something attentively, often in real time.
Examples:
Мы наблюдаем за передвижением звёзд. (We watch the stars moving.)
С определённого возраста наблюдать за приключениями Гарри Поттера становится скучно. (At a certain age, following Harry Potter's adventures becomes boring.)
Учителя наблюдают за развитием детей и вносят изменения в учебный план, когда это требуется. (Teachers observe children’s development and adjust the curriculum when needed.)
Without за, this form often implies systematic observation or monitoring, as a researcher or expert might do.
Examples:
Мы ежедневно наблюдаем результаты поляризации общества. (We observe the results of social polarization on a daily basis.)
Врачи наблюдали детей с иммунной недостаточностью десять лет. (Doctors monitored children with immune deficiency for ten years.)
Астрофизики уже несколько месяцев наблюдают повышенную активность на поверхности Солнца. (Astrophysicists have been observing increased solar surface activity for several months.)
💡 Quick Tip: Think of наблюдать за as actively watching or following something happening, while наблюдать without за focuses more on systematic observation or studying.

Tomorrow I'm going to teach a lesson devoted entirely to one word: оставаться / остаться.
Although this word is relatively simple, it is often used in weird inverted syntactic constructions (А что мне оставалось делать?), and negative sentences with it are also worth practising (У меня не осталось времени - У меня не осталось ни минуты). Wish me luck, because I have no idea if my 5-page lesson script will work... If it goes well, I’ll turn the lesson into a special post for my patrons.
