The Russian case system is sometimes fairly straightforward: use the dative for indirect objects, the prepositional with certain prepositions, and so on. But then there are those verbs where the relationship may not be quite so clear: helping someone, being proud of someone or interested in something... the case you need may be different from what you'd expect from your native language.

So let's talk about a straightforward solution that lets you know whether a verb requires a certain case (or cases!), and whether you need a preposition. It's a simple habit that doesn't always get enough attention at the beginning levels.
