C vs Co

[Mark Kingdom]

Thank you, Stefani, it does help. I knew all those examples, but the thing
is...

....what, therefore, is the underlying rule to know 100% of the time what it
will be?
Is there one?

> "Co" is used before words that begin with a consonant cluster that begins
> with "c" - so "со Стивом" or "со студенткой," but "c сестрой," "с Сергеем."
> But not in front of many other consonant clusters like "с профессором," "с
> Владом," "с братом." However, you do also say "со всеми," and "со мной," "со
> многими людьми."
