The taxi is waiting for Kevin, or Kevin waits for the taxi?

Use of accusative case here.
Well, this is interesting.
Here is a sentence:
Кевин очень спешит,его ждёт такси.(Kevin's in a hurry,the taxi's waiting)
Okay..then we have:
Преподавательница очень спешит, её ждут студенты.(Is this correct? The teacher is in a hurry, the ctudents  are waiting for her.)
 So, I think it will be: Её ждут студенты. Students ( Read more... )

Everything is fine! :)) A few more examples:

Лиза ждёт Николая = Liza is waiting for Nikolai.
Николай ждёт Лизу = Nikolai is waiting for Liza.
Она очень спешит, её ждёт муж = She's in a hurry, her husband's waiting for her.
Она дома и ждёт мужа = She is at home and waiting for her husband (to come).

А мне вот интересно, так как до сих пор путаюсь с временными формами английского языка:

The ctudents are waiting for her.
и
Students wait for her.

На русском всё просто - и там, и там это означает "Её ждут студенты". А почему тогда на английском пишется по разному?

Нашел прикольный блог про такси Ярославля. Там собраны телефоны такси. Еще понравилось, что можно оставить отзыв.
