В (motion)
The most common word for “to” in Russian is “в” followed by the accusative case. This is tricky for Gringos because “в” followed by prepositional means “at.” Observe the contrast:
| Mама в магазине. | “Mom is at the store.” |
| Mама пошла в магазин. | “Mom has gone to the store.” |
| Лена занимается в библотеке. | “Lena is studying at the library.” |
| Лена пошла в библотеку. | “Lena has gone to the library.” |
“В” can also indicate motion and be translated as “into”:
| Машина въехала в туннель. | The car drove into the tunnel. |
| Учительница вошла в комнату. | The teacher walked into the room. |
