Prepositional case

Okay kiddo, today we are going to learn about the prepositional case in language, which is the way we use words to show where something is, or where something is happening.

Let's first understand what a preposition is. A preposition is a small word like "in", "on", "at", "from" etc. that shows the relationship between two words in a sentence. For example, in the sentence "The book is on the table", the word "on" shows that the book is in the location of the table.

Now, when we add a preposition to a noun or pronoun (which are types of words that refer to a person, place, thing or idea), they change their form. This change is called the prepositional case.

For instance, let's take the sentence "I am going to the park" and break it down. The word "to" is the preposition, and "park" is the noun. But when we want to show that "I am going to the park", we have to put the noun "park" into the prepositional case, which in this case becomes "I am going to the park= Я иду в парк (the word "park" is now "парке" in the prepositional case). This lets us know the location of the action - that I am going to the park (not to the store, for example).

So, the prepositional case is a way of changing the form of a word to show where something is or where something is happening, by adding a preposition to it.

I hope that helps you understand the prepositional case!
