Questions & Answers about На свадьбу она надела серёжки и браслет, а после ужина сняла их и убрала в косметичку.
Why is it на свадьбу, not на свадьбе?
Because на свадьбу uses the accusative case and expresses direction or purpose: to the wedding / for the wedding.
In this sentence, the idea is that she put the jewelry on for the wedding occasion.
Compare:
- на свадьбу = to/for the wedding
- на свадьбе = at the wedding
So:
- На свадьбу она надела серёжки = She put on earrings for the wedding
- На свадьбе она была в серёжках = She was wearing earrings at the wedding
Why does после become после ужина?
Because после always takes the genitive case.
The noun ужин becomes ужина in the genitive:
- ужин = dinner
- после ужина = after dinner
This is a very common pattern:
- после работы = after work
- после фильма = after the movie
- после урока = after the lesson
Why is the verb надела, and not одела?
