    Thanks for your help.

    Another question: There's this exchange in an exercise--
    --Я уеду в 4 часов.
    --А когда вы приедете?
    --Я приеду часов в 11.

    What does часов в 11 mean? I've never seen it before.

    Also is this correct?: Они ходили с твоим другом Саша. Or should it be Сашем?

    And a translation question:

    What kind of sandwich do you want?
    Do you have cheese?
    Yes, we have both cheese and meat.
    Then give me a cheese sandwich and borsch with sour cream.

    Какой бутерброд вы хотите?
    У вас есть сыру?
    Есть, у нас и сыру и мяса.
    Тогда дайте мне бутерброд с сыром и борщ с сметаной.

    Should I be using the genetive of сыр and мясо in the second and third lines?

    Thanks,
    Z

    What does часов в 11 mean? - It means at about 11 o'clock. Approximately.

    Они ходили с твоим другом Сашей.


    Какой бутерброд вы хотите?
    У вас есть сыр_?
    Да, у нас есть и сыр_, и мясо. (This is accusative)

    No, it is nominative: У нас есть сыр, мясо и сметана. (The accusative would be "сметану" which is definitely not correct).

    Actualy, something one possesses is gramatically the subject of the sentence:
    У меня есть сыр. = Literally [Cheese exists at my possession].
