How the Russian case worksheet generator works
Pick one of the seven exercises, then narrow the sentence bank. The filters work by case (genitive, dative, accusative, instrumental, prepositional), by singular or plural, by preposition group and by level, and a live count shows how many sentences match. On the preview, choose 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 sentences; a count your filters cannot fill is grayed out. The Shuffle button makes a new set from the same filters, and hints can go on or off. With hints on, the dictionary form prints in brackets after each gap: (брат), (я), (мой старый друг). The answer key prints on separate pages, with every sentence written out and the answers in bold.
Seven exercises, from endings to naming the case
Noun endings leaves the noun blank and gives its dictionary form, so students write брату, братом or брате as the sentence needs. Adjective endings prints the start of each adjective and leaves the ending blank (нов__ for новом). Whole phrases asks for an adjective or possessive and its noun together: (мой старый друг) becomes моего старого друга. Pronouns covers меня, мне and мной and the forms with н- after a preposition: у него, к ней, с ними. Prepositions blanks the word after a preposition, so the case comes from the preposition rather than the verb. Name the case underlines every phrase in a sentence and leaves a box for N, G, D, A, I or P. The seventh is the case chart: one page with noun endings in the singular and plural, hard and soft adjectives, мой and этот, the personal pronouns and the prepositions by case.
Where and where to: в, на, за and под
Four prepositions change case with meaning, and students mix them up for a long time. В and на take the accusative for where something is going and the prepositional for where it is: я иду в школу, but я в школе. За and под do the same with the instrumental: кошка залезла под кровать, but кошка спит под кроватью. The bank has sentences of both kinds for each, and they have a preposition group of their own. A few masculine nouns also take a special ending in -у after в and на, such as в лесу, в саду and на полу, and the answer key gives that form.
How accurate are the answers?
No ending on these worksheets is typed by hand. The bank stores each phrase as markup (its case and the dictionary forms of its words), and the generator declines it, so the answer key always matches the tables. Noun and adjective forms, with their stress, come from Wiktionary, which covers the irregular ones such as матери, времени, друзей and людьми. Every sentence also passes an automatic check that each word exists, that the case is one its preposition allows, and that the preposition is spelled right for the word after it (со мной, обо мне, ко мне).
Free worksheets for teachers and classrooms
Every sheet prints in black and white with a name and date line, and you can photocopy it freely. Use the case chart as the first handout, then a worksheet per case as the class reaches it: the prepositional with в and на first, then the accusative, the genitive, the dative and the instrumental. Turn the hints off for a test, and shuffle a fresh set for each class. If your students are working on verbs too, the same site makes Russian verb conjugation worksheets.
Frequently asked questions
Are these Russian case worksheets free?
Yes. Print them or save them as PDF with no signup, no account and no watermark. Teachers can photocopy them freely.
Which levels are covered?
Levels A1, A2, B1 and B2, from a bank of about 700 sentences. Most are at A1 and A2, and about 80 are at B2. The topics are everyday ones: home, family, school, food, travel and work. Filter by level to keep a worksheet at the right difficulty.
Can I practice one case at a time?
Yes. Tick only the cases you want in the case filter, for example just the genitive, or the dative and the instrumental together. Every sentence on the sheet then practices one of them, and the live count shows how many sentences match before you print.
Does it cover plurals?
Yes. The noun, adjective and whole-phrase exercises can be set to singular, plural or both. The plural is where Russian endings are hardest, especially the genitive plural (книг, студентов, друзей), so it is worth a sheet of its own.
Are stress marks included?
Yes, where they help. The sentences print as normal Russian text, without stress marks, the way students will read Russian everywhere else. The hints and every answer in the key carry the stress mark (книгу, столом), so students learn where the stress falls in each form.
Does it cover the animate accusative?
Yes. Masculine nouns for people and animals, and every animate plural, take the genitive form in the accusative: я вижу брата, я люблю кошек. The bank mixes them with inanimate nouns so students have to notice the difference.
Which prepositions are included?
The common ones, grouped by case: у, из, от, до, без, для and после with the genitive; к and по with the dative; через and про with the accusative; с, между, перед and над with the instrumental; о and при with the prepositional. A separate group drills в, на, за and под, which change case with meaning.
Is there an answer key?
Yes. Every worksheet has an answer key on separate pages, showing each sentence with the answers in bold and stress-marked. The name-the-case key colors each case.
Can I print on A4 and US Letter?
Yes. Choose the paper size on the preview before printing, and choose "Save as PDF" in the print dialog to keep a copy. Every sheet prints in black and white with a name and date line.
