Russian Noun Declension Exercises
Russian noun declension is the system of changing noun endings to show a sentence role. These exercises take you from gender and number patterns to all six commonly taught cases: nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, instrumental, and prepositional.
Practise endings in meaningful sentences, where animacy, a governing preposition, possession, quantity, or location determines the form. The sequence includes masculine, feminine, neuter, and plural nouns so you learn patterns without assuming that one ending works for every declension group.
Start with case patterns, then review mixed case forms, animate accusatives, and intermediate mixed cases. The Russian cases overview, nouns and gender guide, and complete Russian grammar guide provide the reference rules.
