Hi folks. I wonder if anyone can help with my grammar problems.
In many texts I'm told that these verbs are followed by o + prep but in one of my books I read
Игорь рассказывает, как он будет свой отпуск.
So what's the explanation? More 'exceptions'?
TIA
Rob
:oops:
That is not an exception. There is no "o" in your sentence. If there was you could use the prepositional case.
Он рассказывает о поездке.
I think he is saying that he was told that the verb рассказывать always is followed by o + prep. That is not the case, compare:
He tells us about his trip
Он рассказывает о поездке.
he tells us how he drank vodka
Он рассказывает, как он пил водку.
о = about. So it is only used in sentences that would be translated as "about"
The sentence is incorrect
Игорь рассказывает, как он будет проводить свой отпуск.Quote:
