The manual consists of an introduction and two sections: syntax and morphology. The first section highlights the phenomena of the syntactic structure of the German language in comparison with Russian. The second section deals with the consideration of morphological categories. Grammatical topics are also covered, which are associated with difficulties arising when translating from German into Russian and vice versa. The book analyzes in detail the typical mistakes of translators. The practical part contains a system of exercises to prevent such errors.
