We just learned the past test in my Russian language class today. I'm trying to do my homework.
I need to say in Russian, "We were at the cafe."
Cafe doesn't decline right? Is this correct?
Мы были в кафе.
Thanks!

That sounds perfectly fine to me.
Maybe you can say
Мы были на кафе.
Oh, no, you can't. It means something like "We were sitting on the roof of a cafe" ;)Quote:

Yes, you sentence is perfect. But if you were sitting on the roof of a particular cafe, you would say "We were sitting on the roof of the cafe".Quote:
