Questions & Answers about Мы распределили партию, которую он отправил для трёх складов.
Why do we use трёх складов instead of три склада?
The preposition для (for) always requires the Genitive case. The Genitive form of the number три is трёх. When a number like 2, 3, or 4 is in an oblique case (any case other than Nominative or inanimate Accusative), the noun that follows it must match that case AND be in the plural. Therefore, склад becomes Genitive plural: складов.
Why is the relative pronoun которую in the Accusative case?
The word который (which/that) matches the gender and number of the noun it replaces (партия, feminine singular). However, its case depends on its role in its own clause. Since he sent the batch, the batch is the direct object of отправил (sent). Therefore, it takes the Accusative case, becoming которую.
Why does the word for batch end in -ию (партию)?
The dictionary form of the word is партия. It is the direct object of the verb распределили (we distributed), so it must be in the Accusative case. Feminine nouns ending in -ия change their ending to -ию in the Accusative.
Does the prefix рас- in распределили have a specific meaning?
Yes! The prefix рас- (or раз-) often adds the meaning of dividing, spreading out, or sending things in different directions. This makes it the perfect prefix for a verb meaning to distribute or allocate among multiple locations.
