Questions & Answers about После урока учительница положила указку на стол.
Why is it после урока, not после урок?
Because после means after and it requires the genitive case.
- урок = lesson
- genitive singular of урок = урока
So:
- после урока = after the lesson / after class
This is a very common pattern in Russian:
- после работы = after work
- после школы = after school
- после обеда = after lunch
What exactly does урок mean here?
In this sentence, урок most naturally means lesson or class period.
So после урока can be understood as:
- after the lesson
- after class
The best English translation depends on context. In a school setting, both are very natural.
Why is the noun учительница used here instead of учитель?
