Prepositions В and НА keep confusing people, who study the Russian language. If you are not sure when to use which one, this post is for you.
The easiest way to decide which preposition to use is to think weather the object you’re talking about is inside of something or on the top of it. If it is inside (inside a bag, a room, a city or a country and etc.) – use “В”. If it’s on top – use “НА”. In any other types of context better use “НА”, because it has a wider range of meanings.
Do not translate literally from English, because in English there are three prepositions (in, on and at) that in different combinations might be translated both as В and НА. For example, English “in the street” is “на улице” in Russian, “on a bus” – “в автобусе” and etc. So, English “in” is not always “В” in Russian and “on” is not always “НА”.
Save the chart, so not to ever forget when to use the Russian language В and НА!

Russian prepositions

They are short and ordinary, but you use them all the time, almost in every sentence. We are talking about prepositions. They are words or groups of words which are used before a noun, a noun phrase, a pronoun or a numeral to connect them to other words. We present you the list of common Russian prepositions!


в/во + Prepositional casе
It is used to describe the place of something or someone, or the place where an action occurs.
It may answer the question «Где?» (Where) or «Куда?» (Where to). It is also used to describe motion towards something; a noun in the Accusative case designates the purpose of motion.
This preposition can correspond to several English words: in, at, into, to
Example:
Я живу в городе. Дети гуляют в лесу. Мы встретим вас в зоопарке.
(all these sentences answer the question Where so we use the Prepositional case)
Я еду в город. Они пойдут в лес. Мы собираемся в зоопарк.
(all these sentences answer the question Where to so we use the Accusative case)
You can also use the preposition в/во to say when something happened. Then you will use the Prepositional case with month, year or century and the Accusative with hour and days of the week.
Example:
Николай Гоголь жил в девятнадцатом веке. Анна родилась в 1995 году. В мае мы поедем в Москву. Давай встретимся в три часа. В следующий понедельник мы не работаем.

за + Instrumental case
It is used to describe the place of something or someone; you are answering the question «Где?» (Where) or to describe motion towards something; you are answering the question «Куда?» (Where to)
This preposition corresponds to English words: behind, beyond
Example:
Остановка сразу за поворотом.
(this sentence answers the question «Где?» Where so we use the Instrumental case)
Завтра они собираются за город.
(this sentence answers the question «Куда?» Where to so we use the Accusative case)

из + Genetive case
This preposition corresponds to the English word: from
Example:
Я из Англии. Тебе пришло письмо из России.  

к + Dative case
This preposition corresponds to the English word: towards
Example:
Я зайду к ним после концерта.

на + Prepositional case
This preposition corresponds to English words: onto, on, to
Example:
На улице дождь.
(this sentence answers the question «Где?» Where,so we use the Prepositional case)
Дети выбежали на улицу (this sentence answers the question «Куда?»,so we use the Accusative case)
You can also use this preposition with the word «неделя» (week) to say when something happened.
Еxample:
На прошлой неделе было холодно. На этой неделе у меня не будет времени с Вами встретиться. На следующей неделе мы едем в Италию.


о/об + Prepositional case
This preposition corresponds to the English word: about
Еxample:
Я не хочу говорить об этом. О чём этот фильм?


от + Genetive case
This preposition corresponds to the English word: from
Еxample:
Тебе прислали цветы от Павла.

по + Dative case
This preposition corresponds to the English words: along, according to
Еxample:
Вам лучше идти по этой стороне улицы. По их совету, мы не стали переходить дорогу.

с + Instrumental case
This preposition corresponds to the English word: with
Еxample:
Мы с тобой пойдем туда вместе. Хотим поздравить вас с праздником.
It can also be used to say since when something has been happening. In this case use the Genetive.
Example:
Она не работает с марта. Я собираюсь в отпуск со вторника.

у + Genetive case
This preposition corresponds to the English words: by, at, near
Еxample:
У тебя есть телефон? У какого памятника встретимся?

Learning Russian, watch more movies in Russian!

Russian language school “Enjoy Russian” teachers are always ready to give you a piece of advice on ways of studying Russian. Olga Khanaeva has been working in our school for several years already. She is an inspired tutor who considers teaching as creative process. Here is what she says about alternative ways of language practice.

My advice  to the students is to watch more movies in Russian! I recommend it first-hand, as I am not only a teacher, I do learn foreign languages as well.
If you have several favorite movies that you can watch time after time, don’t waste your time and watch it in the language you learn. Even better – with subtitles. Thus you would be able to shoot two hears (as we say in Russia). You will be able not only to hear the pronunciation of the word, but its spelling as well. It would be just great, if you pause sometimes to speak new phrases aloud and to write them down.
It is not compulsory to watch Russian movies. Any picture translated in Russian would be suitable. Of course if you watch a movie shot in Russia, you will learn more about Russian culture and life style. But the main idea is to watch and hear to the movies you really enjoy.

By Olga Khanaeva, Enjoy Russian School teacher.
