Frequently asked questions
Why practise Russian prepositions with case endings?
A Russian preposition normally selects a case, so the noun ending changes with the relationship expressed by the sentence.
Do в and на always take the same case in Russian?
No. With location they normally take the prepositional, while motion into or onto a place takes the accusative.
