Questions & Answers about Кадастровый номер земельного участка указали в документе.
Why is земельного участка in the genitive case?
Because it depends on номер.
Russian often uses the pattern X чего? = the X of what? So:
- номер = number
- номер земельного участка = the number of the land plot
That is why земельный участок changes to земельного участка:
- земельный → земельного
- участок → участка
Both words are genitive singular, and the adjective agrees with the noun.
Is Кадастровый номер земельного участка the subject of the sentence?
No. It is the direct object.
A very common source of confusion is that номер looks like a nominative subject form. But here it is actually accusative singular. For inanimate masculine nouns, the accusative often has the same form as the nominative.
So:
- кадастровый номер can be nominative or accusative
- in this sentence, it is accusative because it is what was indicated
The verb указали does not agree with this noun phrase as a subject. Instead, the subject is left unstated.
Why is the verb указали in the plural if there is no subject written?
