Prepositional singular assessment

Select the preposition and relation before forming the noun.

  • Assessment
  • Form a location phrase: го́род, шко́ла, окно́.
  • Form a topic phrase: музе́й, тетра́дь, исто́рия.
  • Form: в + Росси́я; в + зда́ние; о + и́мя.
  • Choose the standard location: в ле́се or в лесу́.
  • Contrast destination and location using шко́ла, previewing the next module.
  • Explain why на мо́ре can be prepositional although мо́ре looks unchanged.
  • Answers and explanations
  • в го́роде; в шко́ле; в окне́.
  • о музе́е; о тетра́ди; об исто́рии.
  • в Росси́и; в зда́нии; об и́мени.
  • в лесу́; the restricted second locative marks location.
  • в шко́лу 'to school' versus в шко́ле 'in/at school'.
  • The nominative and prepositional forms are syncretic; the preposition and location relation identify the case.
  • Ready signal: Continue when you form -е/-и correctly and treat в/на selection and second locatives as lexical as well as grammatical.
