Questions & Answers about После прогулки мы вернёмся домой на трамвае.

Why is it после прогулки and not после прогулка?

Because после requires the genitive case.

The dictionary form is прогулка = walk / stroll.
Its genitive singular form is прогулки.

So:

• прогулка = a walk
• после прогулки = after a walk / after the walk

This is a very common pattern:

• после работы = after work
• после урока = after the lesson
• после обеда = after lunch

Does после прогулки mean after a walk or after the walk?

It can mean either. Russian has no articles, so прогулки by itself does not tell you whether English should use a or the.

You decide from context:

• После прогулки мы вернёмся домой could be
  After a walk, we’ll return home
  or
  After the walk, we’ll return home

Russian leaves that distinction unstated unless the context makes it clear.
