Questions & Answers about После вашей презентации мы всегда обсуждаем изменения.
Why do we say вашей презентации instead of ваша презентация?
The preposition после (after) always requires the Genitive case. So, the feminine words ваша (your) and презентация (presentation) change to their Genitive forms: вашей and презентации.
Why does презентации end in -ии? Doesn't the Genitive usually end in -ы or -и for feminine words?
Yes, but words ending in -ия (like презентация) are a special group. In the Genitive case, they drop the -я and add -и, resulting in the double-i ending -ии.
Why is the verb обсуждаем imperfective? Aren't we talking about something that happens after a finished presentation?
The key word here is всегда (always). Because discussing the changes is a repeated, regular habit ('always'), you must use the imperfective verb обсуждать. If you were talking about discussing it just one specific time, you would use the perfective form обсудить.
What case is изменения (changes) in this sentence?
It is in the Accusative case because it is the direct object of the verb обсуждаем (we discuss what? -> changes). The dictionary form is the neuter noun изменение. For neuter words that do not refer to living things, the plural Accusative form looks exactly the same as the plural Nominative form, ending here in -ия.
