Conseils et astuces (4)

💡

The 'във' rule

Always check if the next word starts with 'в' or 'ф'. If it does, use 'във'.
frontend.learn_grammar.from_rule: Preposition 'В' (In, Into)
💡

Don't translate literally

English 'in' or 'at' doesn't always equal 'в' or 'на'.
frontend.learn_grammar.from_rule: Preposition 'На' (On, At)
💡

Context is Key

If you see 'до' with a time, it's 'until'. If with a place, it's 'next to'.

Definite Articles

Always check if you need the definite article (e.g., -та, -то).
