We have already seen the propositions в and из which denote movement when paired with the appropriate case. There are many more motion-related prepositions that take the accusative. Here are several of the most common: • на - (move) onto • за - (move) behind • под - (move) under • сквозь - (move) through, (move) past • через - (move) across, through |
