Unit quiz: Cases that carry a whole sentence: object, place, and source

Check understanding, separately from reading

5 questions · 80% to pass · no timer. This quiz checks the lessons in this unit. These authored questions assess recognition and application of the taught distinctions, not professional qualification. You may review the lessons and retry. Repeat attempts reuse the question bank; a remembered answer is not proof of transfer to a new situation.

Saving a lesson records reading only. Previous lesson completions have not been converted into passing scores. You can continue reading without a pass; the assessment remains unpassed.

Question 1

A learner writes Я вижу студенты for I see the students. What is the correction, and what decision produced it?The noun must be студентов, because plural nouns naming beings use the genitive shape as the accusative.The noun must take -ам, because every plural object receives a dative ending.

Question 2

A schedule note says you are going to the university, and a separate note says you study there. The same preposition в appears in both. Which case does each phrase require?Both take the prepositional, because the preposition is identical in the two phrases.The destination takes the accusative, and the location takes the prepositional.

Question 3

You report that a letter arrived from your brother and that a parcel is intended for your sister. Which prepositions and which case do the two sources require?From a person takes от plus the genitive брата; a beneficiary takes для plus the genitive сестры.From a person takes из plus the genitive, and the beneficiary takes the dative сестре.

Question 4

Before a study session you have no notebooks at all, not merely one missing. Which form does the noun take, and why does that differ from the book example in the lesson?The genitive singular тетради, because нет always takes the singular.The genitive plural тетрадей, because the absence covers a whole set rather than one item.

Question 5

In Вчера я купила книгу для Анны в магазине около дома, a learner says the sentence has two genitives because Russian avoids the accusative in long sentences. What is the correct analysis?Each noun phrase is governed separately: the verb selects an accusative object, while для and около each select the genitive.Long Russian sentences replace the accusative with the genitive to avoid repeating the same ending.
