Questions & Answers about На уроке дети сначала сидели поодиночке, а потом сообща сделали большой плакат.
In natural English, На уроке means in class, during the lesson, or at the lesson.
Russian often uses на with events or organized activities:
- на уроке = in class / during the lesson
- на лекции = at the lecture
- на работе = at work
- на концерте = at the concert
So although на often means on, here you should think of it as at/during.
Because на here requires the prepositional case when it means location or setting.
- урок = dictionary form, nominative
- на уроке = prepositional singular
So:
- урок = lesson
- на уроке = in class / during the lesson
This is a very common pattern:
- в школе = at school
- на столе = on the table
- в комнате = in the room
