Questions & Answers about Я хожу в этот салон каждый месяц.
Why is каждый месяц considered to be in the Accusative case if it doesn't look like it changed?
When saying "every [time period]" in Russian, we use the Accusative case without any preposition. Because месяц (month) is a masculine inanimate noun, its Accusative form is identical to its basic dictionary form. The adjective каждый (every) follows the same rule, so it looks unchanged too.
Why does this sentence use хожу instead of иду for "go"?
Ходить (which becomes хожу for "I") is a verb of motion used for regular, repeated trips or habits. Since the sentence says you go to the salon каждый месяц (every month), it's a repeated action, so we must use хожу. If you were walking there right this exact moment, you would use иду.
Why doesn't the ending of этот салон change after the preposition в?
To show destination (going to a place), the preposition в requires the Accusative case. Just like the word for month, салон is a masculine inanimate noun. In the Accusative case, masculine inanimate nouns and their modifiers (like этот) do not change their endings.
Can I put каждый месяц at the beginning of the sentence?
Yes, you absolutely can! Russian word order is quite flexible. Saying Каждый месяц я хожу в этот салон is completely natural. Putting the time expression at the end of the sentence, as it is here, just places a little bit more emphasis on how often you go.
