Парк
The Russian word for park is парк. It is a perfectly regular first-declension noun, as long as you keep in mind the seven-letter spelling rule:
| Sg | Pl | |
| Nom | парк | парки |
| Acc | ||
| Gen | парка | парков |
| Pre | парке | парках |
| Dat | парку | паркам |
| Ins | парком | парками |
Today let's look at the word in contexts that distinguish location and motion. Remember that motion phrases with в/на use the accusative case, whereas location phrases use the prepositional:
| — Где ты был? — Я ходил в парк. |
“Where were you?” “I went to the park.” |
| — Где ты был? — Я был в парке. |
“Where were you?” “I was at the park.” |
| — Куда ты идёшь? — Я иду в парк. |
“Where are you going?” “I'm going to the park.” |
| — Где Виктор? — Он в парке. |
“Where is Victor?” “He is at the park.” |
| — Где ты живёшь? — Я живу в парке, где беззубый парень по имени Витя защищает меня от гопников. |
“Where do you live?” “I live in a park where a toothless guy named Vitya protects me from the gopniki.” |
