Questions & Answers about Мой друг идёт в парк со мной.
Why is it в парк and not в парке?
Because with motion toward a destination you use в + accusative: в парк (into the park). For location (being inside), you use в + prepositional: в парке (in the park).
What case is парк here, and why doesn’t it change form?
It’s accusative singular of an inanimate masculine noun ending in a consonant. Inanimate masculine nouns of this type have the same form in nominative and accusative: парк → парк.
Why со мной and not с мной?
The preposition с becomes со before certain consonant clusters to make pronunciation easier. Since мной starts with the cluster мн-, the standard form is со мной. You may also see the slightly more formal/poetic со мною.
What case is мной, and what are the forms of я?
мной is the instrumental singular of я, used after с/со to mean “with.” Quick forms of я: nominative я, genitive меня, dative мне, accusative меня, instrumental мной/мною, prepositional мне.
