Lesson 19 - Russian Prepositional Case

<em>Russian Prepositional Case</em>

 

The Russian prepositional case is used after the prepositions “о” (about), “в” (in), “на” (at or on). Nouns take the prepositional case when they’re used to refer to a place, or time... (these prepositions are used sometimes with other cases). The nouns answering the question "where" are often used with the prepositions “в” and “на”.
