Thanks. :) I wasn't sure since it would behave as a loan word, i thought it might be в Савое. I'm sorry my lack of English knowledge :oops:

correct me if i'm wrong, but..."Теперь мы идём в кино" is more like "Now we go to the movies(we used to not go)" rather than "right now we're going to the movies".

For some reason, "sounds well" doesn't work in English. :?

No, that would be "теперь мы будем ходить в кино". "Теперь мы идём в кино" emphasizes that before we were doing or have done something else, for example: мы сделали уроки и теперь идем в кино - we've done our homeworks and now we are going to the movies

Is it singular even when they are in different schools and have different homeworks?

Yes. I can't think of any situation where "homework" can be plural.

Thank you, Darobat.

"Homework" is just an uncountable noun (неисчислимое существительное).

Another Q:

I thought adverbials should "always" precede a noun.

Is one of these sentences odd, or are both of them perfectly equal?
Я очень хорошо спал. / Я спал очень хорошо.

Same Q about SVO/SOV with personal pronouns in Acc:

Я вижу её. / Я её вижу.
Я терпеть не могу его. / Я его терпеть не могу.
Я понимаю тебя. / Я тебя понимаю.

When should I pay attention to word order in basic sentences structures like SVO/SOV? I know these are grammatically correct, but I want to know which of the structures is commonly used and does not sound odd.

Спасибо :D

In Russian the most important thing is inflexion of voice.

These sentences are equal.
You can say: Я очень хорошо спал. (This means: you slept, and your sleep was good :))

But you can say: Я очень хорошо спал! (This can be an answer to: "How did you sleep?")

So you can say "Я спал очень хорошо" or "Я спал очень хорошо" or "Я спал очень хорошо!" etc.
