Russian grammar - Prepositional Case |
|||
|
|||
The prepositional case is used to express location when used with the prepositions в (in) and на (on). The prepositional case answers the question где? (where?) - as in 'where is something?', or 'where is something happening?'. But NOT 'to where?'. In Russian a noun's grammatical case is expressed by changing its ending. This is called declension. Nouns are declined for the propositional case as follows: • When the singular noun ends in a consonant, add «-е», or replace the final vowel with an «-е». -- Except for feminine nouns endings in «-ь» - replace it with «-и». -- And except for neuter nouns ending in «-ие» - replace it with «-ии» |
