4.2 Грамма́тика – ‘On’ a day…
Грамма́тика
To say that you do something ‘on’ a particular day of the week, you have to use the preposition ‘в’ (yes, that’s right, ‘в’ – the one that literally means ‘in’) + the day of the week. There’s a catch. you use the Accusative case after the preposition this time! This is what it looks like for saying ON A DAY OF THE WEEK:
| День – Day | В день – On (that) day |
| понеде́льник – Monday | в понеде́льник – on Monday |
| вто́рник – Tuesday | во вто́рник – on Tuesday |
| среда́ – Wednesday | в сре́ду – on Wednesday |
| четве́рг – Thursday | в четве́рг – on Thursday |
| пя́тница – Friday | в пя́тницу – on Friday |
| суббо́та – Saturday | в суббо́ту – on Saturday |
| воскресе́нье – Sunday | в воскресе́нье – on Sunday |
The RULES:
To say ON A DAY, you use the preposition ‘в’ + the day of the week (in Accusative Case).
If the day happens to be feminine, the ending changes from -а to -у. This change happens because you get Accusative Case after this preposition ‘в’ when it’s being used to indicate ‘on’ a day of week. What happens with the masculine and neuter days? NOTHING!
