Почему "same time" - в то, и "same place" - в том. Какие это падежи _? Извините, что задаю такой глупый вопрос.
(Why is same time is "в то", and same place is "в том"? Which cases are they in? Please excuse me for asking such a silly question.)
Спасибо.
Speaknig about time, we use an accusative: в разное время, в своё время, в наше время, в настоящее время. All they answer the question "когда?"
Speaknig about a place, we use a prepositional case: в тихом месте, в другом месте, на новом месте, на своём месте. All they answer the question "где?"
I can't say if there is any logic in it, maybe you should just remember it.
P.S.
By the way:
at the same time — в то же время
in the same place — в том же месте
Why в то же время - "at the same", and в том же месте - "in the same"? :lol:

Большое спасибо!
I don't need to know the logic for this. I just wanted to know the difference in the 2 expressions, and you made it very clear.
However, in English, we sometimes use at the same time and at the same place too. Like the expression, see you again same time, same place.
