Always end 'в течение' and 'в продолжение' with 'е' when talking about time. Using 'и' is the most common mistake for learners.

Review Summary

  • в течение + Genitive; благодаря + Dative; согласно + Dative

أخطاء شائعة

Learners often default to Genitive for all prepositions. Remember that 'согласно' specifically demands the Dative case.

Wrong: Согласно отчету (correct) -> Согласно отчета (incorrect)
صحيح: Согласно отчету

Because 'благодаря' sounds positive, learners sometimes use Accusative. It requires Dative.

Wrong: Благодаря тебя (incorrect)
صحيح: Благодаря тебе

The preposition ends in -е, whereas the noun 'течение' in the prepositional case ends in -и. Do not confuse the preposition with the noun.

Wrong: В течение пяти дней (correct) -> В течении пяти дней (incorrect)
صحيح: В течение пяти дней

أسئلة شائعة (2)

It's a group of words that functions as one preposition. They are usually derived from nouns, verbs, or adverbs, like в течение (during).
No, в течение is strictly for time. For distance or space, you would use other prepositions like на протяжении.
