Prepositions and Place is the twenty-second (assuming read left to right) skill of the Russian language tree. It has four lessons, and the skill teaches some new prepositions and places in Russian.
Grammar Notes[]
Motion Verbs[]
Russian differentiates between moving inside of a city and moving outside of one, as well as being perfective or imperfective. More on that in Verbs: Motion.
Going to/Being in[]
Russian has two meanings for в/на
One uses the accusative and describes motion: я ходил в школу.
The other uses the prepositional and describes being in a place: я живу в Америке.
Business Cat[]
Useful for remembering pairs. "Business Cat" is a mnemonic for в/из, на/с, к/от, which are the prepositions that indicate directions.
