Questions & Answers about По рассмотрении вопроса написанный отчёт был принят.
Why does рассмотрение change to рассмотрении with a double -ии here?
In this formal structure, the preposition по means "upon" or "right after" and requires the Prepositional case. For neuter nouns ending in -ие like рассмотрение, the Prepositional ending is -ии.
Would I use the phrase по рассмотрении in normal, everyday conversation?
No, this use of по + Prepositional is very formal and typical of official business, legal, or bureaucratic language. In everyday speech, you would just say после рассмотрения with the Genitive case, or use a clause like после того как вопрос рассмотрели.
Why is вопрос in the Genitive case (вопроса)?
Verbal nouns, which are nouns derived from verbs (like рассмотрение from рассмотреть), take their direct object in the Genitive case. This corresponds to the English "of", so рассмотрение вопроса means "consideration of the issue".
Why is написанный in the long form while принят is in the short form?
Both are past passive participles, but they serve different grammatical roles here. Написанный acts as an attributive adjective modifying the noun отчёт, so it takes the full long form. Принят acts as the main verb predicate forming the passive voice with был (was accepted), and past passive participles acting as predicates must always be in the short form.
