Hello David,
"кроме того" always stays the same, because it is not a noun.

Hi! I found a translation of "кроме того" that says it means, "besides". Is this one I can add to flashcards and memorize? I am wondering if it will change case and form or if this is usually the way it will look.
Thanks!
Hello стив (Steve),
" я учился утром" means "I was studying/I studied in the morning". We dont know if it was "all morning" or just "a small period of time". If you want to say "all morning" you can say: "все утро" - "Я учился все утро".

Hi Elena (One day I will be able to write my questions in Russian but not yet because I would have to cheat and use a translator.........))) ..................)
My question: With the sentence " Кроме того, я учился утром" is the idea of "all morning" a given (simply understood) in Russian language or is this a "rough meaning" that can be massaged to fit a person's way of speaking?
I mean is it literally "all morning" or can it just be something like "in the morning" (but there is no "в" for that , and then again there is no еше (sorry if incorrect spelling) to stand for "all" morning)
Thank you in advance as a thank you after an answer would simply clutter up the disscussion board.
спасибо стив )))

Ok, got it. Thanks for the explanation, Elena
Hello Rick,
“после обеда” has two meanings: " after lunch" and "in the afternoon”. You can also say “после полудня”. Both are OK.

Oops! In my previous comment I meant "this afternoon" not "in the afternoon" and was referring to the translations in the lesson materials, not the video, which says "after lunch" for "после обеда”.
Can you explain why "после обеда" is interpreted as "in the afternoon" and not its literal translation of "after lunch" whereas "afternoon" or "in the afternoon" is often literally translated as "после полудня"? I would like to understand the reasoning behind this.
