Questions & Answers about Утром мы едем на выставку.
Why do we use на here instead of в for "to"?
We use на because an exhibition (выставка) is thought of as an event or a public activity rather than just an enclosed building. In Russian, events and activities almost always take на instead of в.
Why does the word выставка change to выставку?
Because it is the destination you are moving toward. When answering the question Куда? (To where?), feminine nouns ending in -а change their ending to -у. This is the Accusative case for destination.
Why use едем instead of a word like идём?
Russian has different verbs of motion for going on foot versus going by a vehicle. Едем specifically means you are using transport (like a car, bus, or subway). If you were walking to the exhibition, you would use идём.
Why does "In the morning" translate to just one word, Утром?
To say that something happens during a specific part of the day, Russian does not use prepositions like "in". Instead, the basic noun утро (morning) changes its ending to become утром (in the morning).
