I know, I know – a lot of grammar today too! But I hope these my couple of humble example sentences were helpful for those of you still trying to figure out which prepositions to combine with what case when speaking Russian. Of course, to learn these prepositions one must do more than just read a sentence with it, one must read a lot more sentences (of different kinds, since many of the prepositions above have more than just one meaning) and try to speak with them. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes! I make mistakes all the time. That’s the only way you’ll ever learn a language – from your own mistakes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"
