Грамматика: Genitive case of numbers – the hundreds
When the grammar requires it, numbers are in the genitive case. Prepositions and quantity words like с (from), до (until), около (around), больше / более (more), меньше / менее (less) are often used with numbers. In this exercise we will focus on the genitive case of the hundreds. In the table below, you see the numeral, then the nominative case form, and then the genitive case form.
| 100 | 200 | 300 | 400 | 500 | |
| Nominative | сто | двести | триста | четыреста | пятьсот |
| Genitive | ста | двухсот | трёхсот | четырёхсот | пятисот |
| 600 | 700 | 800 | 900 | |
| Nominative | шестьсот | семьсот | восемьсот | девятьсот |
| Genitive | шестисот | семисот | восьмисот | девятисот |
