Questions & Answers about В октябре я чаще пью горячий чай и надеваю серый свитер.

Why is it в октябре, not в октябрь?

Because after в meaning in with a month, Russian uses the prepositional case.

• Dictionary form: октябрь = October
• Prepositional form: октябре

So:

• в октябре = in October
• в январе = in January
• в мае = in May

This is a very common pattern for months and other time expressions.

What does чаще mean exactly?

Чаще means more often. It is the comparative form of часто (often).

• часто = often
• чаще = more often

So я чаще пью горячий чай means I drink hot tea more often.

It usually implies comparison with another time, season, or situation, even if that comparison is not stated directly.

Why use чаще instead of больше?
