Questions & Answers about Нам придётся пересмотреть весь план.
Why is the pronoun нам in the Dative case instead of the Nominative мы?
The verb придётся is an impersonal verb when it means 'will have to' or 'will be forced to'. In Russian, the person who 'has to' do something acts as the logical subject and must be in the Dative case (нам). The verb itself stays in the 3rd person singular neuter form.
What role does the prefix пере- play in the verb пересмотреть?
The prefix пере- often indicates doing an action over again, usually to fix, change, or improve it. It turns the base verb смотреть (to look) into пересмотреть, meaning to re-look, reconsider, or revise.
The current lesson is about the preposition насчёт (regarding). How would we add 'regarding the project' to this sentence?
You would use насчёт followed by the Genitive case. The Russian word for project is проект, so its Genitive form is проекта. The sentence would become: Нам придётся пересмотреть весь план насчёт проекта.
Is the phrase весь план in the Nominative or Accusative case here?
It is in the Accusative case because it is the direct object of the verb пересмотреть. Since план is an inanimate masculine noun, its Accusative form looks exactly identical to its Nominative form.
