We’ve already gone through the prepositional singular, which wasn’t very difficult. We’re fortunate again, because the prepositional plural is even easier! Let’s start already!
Forming the prepositional plural is extremely easy – just add either –ах or –ях. Here you don’t have to worry about whether the noun is masculine, feminine or neuter, which is a huge relief.
Choosing which ending is also easy – if the ending is hard, add –ах , and if it’s soft, add –ях.

| Formation |
| hard ending + ах | дом (house) страница (page) место (bridge) | домах – страницах – местах – |
| Богатые люди живут в роскошных домах. Rich people live in luxurious houses. |
| replace soft ending with –ях | трамвай (tram) море (sea) постель (bed) | трамваях – морях – постелях – |
| Говоря о морях, я совсем недавно ездил в круиз. Speaking about the seas, I was on a cruise not too long ago. |
This couldn’t be any easier, could it?
| Please keep the spelling rules in mind! вещь = вещах, солнце = солнцах |
If a noun has an irregular plural in the nominative case, it maintains it in other plural forms.
| nom. sing. | nom. plu. | prep. plu. |
| дом друг время мать имя | дома друзья времена матери имена | домах друзьях временах матерях именах |
