Russian grammar.....again! Hi, In these two sentences: у меня был праздник у меня было два праздника Why is быть in the neutor form in the second example, when it is describing a masculine noun.? Thanks!

Russian grammar Hi, In the sentence: У НЕГО В ГОЛОВЕ НЕ БЫЛО НИ ОДНОЙ МЫСЛИ There was not a single thought in his mind I am confused as to why the БЫЛО isn't БЫЛА in this instance, because the thing that isn't in his head is feminine, МЫСЛЬ. Please help!

Russian grammar Hi, In the following sentence I have a question about grammar: ОНИ ИСПОЛНИЛИ ПЕСНЮ ДЛЯ ДВУХ ГОЛОСОВ They performed a two part song Why is song in the instrumental and not the accusative case? Thanks :)

Prepositional and dative Hi, I have been struggling with the Russian sentence: В ЭТОМ ГОДУ МАЛО ДОЖДЕЙ There is not enough rain this year I can figure out why the ЭТОМ is in the prepositional case, but don't understand why the ГОДУ is in the dative case. I thought that these two words would have to agree with each other, and as such would be both in the prepositional. Please can someone explain to me the grammar here. Thanks :)

Trouble with cases! Hi, I have been studying Russian for a short while and don't understand the case endings in this sentence: Я ПРИВЕДУ С СОБОЙ ДВУХ ЧЕЛОВЕК I will bring two people with me. I understand the I (nominative), will bring (verb), with (preposition), myself (reflexive pronoun in instrumental) - but the TWO I think should be in the accusative but not sure and the PEOPLE is in the nominative case here when I would expect it to be genitive (ЧЕЛОВЕКА). I would be grateful if someone could explain to me what case each word is in, and why! thanks in advance :)
