The relevance of the study is related to solving problems in the field of teaching Russian as a foreign language, improving the quality of language training, and developing the communicative abilities of students. The study of the subjunctive mood requires understanding of the multidimensionality of the concept of mood and its relationship with the category of modality. Textbooks focus only on one type of sentence (for example, complex sentences with a subordinate clause of condition), which does not allow for comprehensive understanding of subjunctive mood functioning in different structural and semantic contexts. The aim of the study is to examine the specific aspects of developing students' skills in using grammatical phenomena with complex semantics. The study uses a comprehensive approach to developing grammatical competence, which combines communicative, functional, and structural-functional approaches. The analytical approach in this context is applied for the purpose of detailed parsing and analysis of the semantics and functions of the subjunctive mood in various communicative situations. As a result, a set of exercises in Russian as a foreign language at the preparatory faculty of Baikal State University was developed. It actualizes the skills of grammar with complex semantics (on the example of the subjunctive mood), develops the ability of students to correctly and automatically use complex grammatical structures in oral and written speech, understand their meaning in context, and apply them in various communicative situations. The presented set of exercises for the development of speech grammatical skills in Russian as a foreign language among students of the preparatory faculty in terms of its implementation includes introductory, preparatory, automating (standardizing and stereotyping) stages. The use of a series of training exercises that are adequate to the three levels of complexity of grammatical phenomena helps to build a methodological algorithm for teaching practices. The theoretical significance of the study lies in deepening the understanding of the structure and mechanisms of developing grammatical competence, including the analysis of its components (knowledge, skills, and abilities) and their relationship with other aspects of language competence. The practical significance of the study lies in the fact that its results can be used in teaching the grammatical aspects of foreign language speech, for example, in developing grammatical exercises and tasks for the development of grammatical skills aimed at imitation, reproduction, transformation, and combination.
