Предло'жный Паде'ж - the prepositional case

Предложный Падеж

Yes, I just introduced you to a new case, but come on - именительный doesn't really count!

I know that after родительный you may be scarred, but this one is easy - the only simpler case is именительный.

• As the name suggests, it is only used in conjunction with prepositions. These are the ones:

В	На	При	О
In/at	On/at/in	Near/next to	About

In this post I will focus on В and На, the two most common uses of the prepositional. I will get back to при and о in a later post.

As for the ending, you generally just take off the end and add -е

Imagine these examples in the following context:

"Где ты?"

"я в/на..."

Where are you? I'm in/at...

• Just like in English you say I'm at work, but in the building... this is how you can imagine this distinction.

• So, this case is mainly concerned with something's position - so "where?"

• When do you use which one?

На - used for events/job... generally more abstract - concert, circus, etc

В - usually when you're referring more literally to the building/place that you're in/at

В	На
В парке	На улице
В музее	На фирме
В школе	На работе
В университете	На концерте

New vocab(if there's anything else you don't understand, let me know):

Улица - street

Фирма - company

Школа - school

However, like always, there are irregularities:

-ий

-ь (f)

-ия

-ие

In all of these cases(pretty rare), replace the last letter of the word with an и

Именительный	Предложный
Санаторий	в санатории
Консерватория	в консерватории
Площадь	на площади
Здание	в здании

Try it out. I hope it's clear when you use в/на. As you can see, this is used very often and is extremely easy!
