      <p>Now you have seen all six of the cases in Russian. Like the Genitive, Dative and Accusative
        cases, the Instrumental may be used both with and without a preposition. Recall that the
        Nominative is NEVER used with a preposition and the Locative/Prepositional is ALWAYS used
        with one.</p>
