Today we focused on learning how to put words into the prepositional case. Remember that this case is used to discuss where an action occurs. It is also used to indicate what something is about. You should have been able to add locations for your sentences which you have written about yourselves and your friends.
To finalize this skill, complete exercise 8D at the end of Chapter One. Fill in the blanks by putting the words in parenthesis in prepositional case.
Here is a video that reviews prepositional case in Russian. You may find it useful.
Lastly, don't forget that you will have a quiz on Thursday before we go back to watching Doctor Zhivago. You will need to be able to tell if a verb is first or second conjugation and if it is transitive or reflexive. You will also be asked to conjugate several verbs in Russian.

Today we delved into the exciting world of talking about time in Russian. We reviewed the cases that are used, the counting rules for numbers, and how to use prepositions to explain time expressions. Tonight, as a means of reinforcing this skill you should make a schedule of when things occur in your day. List out actions and the times that they happen. This will help you to get comfortable with this new information. Your numbers are located on page 181 - in the Chapter Five vocabulary. Next class you will be working to answer questions talking about time.
