Quick grammer question - CASES

[UDUT, KENNETH]

Thank you, one and all, for your assistance in reminding me what the
heck the cases are for.

I now have the 'gist' of what they are for, in English.

I had learned this stuff in 7th grade but had all but forgotten.  Now I
am able to remember, and can move on to the next step in the Living
Language, which is memorizing the various case questions, and working
with some examples of various case questions, then moving on to examples
of declensions.

Thank you all for your warnings (and corrections!) as well.  Do not
worry - I am not trying to rush through, as it may appear.  My biggest
concern is that I will rush past something (like cases, for example)
without at least having a vague notion what I am looking at, moving on
to 'easier' stuff, and then having a gap in my knowledge that will be
harder to fill later on.

The sentences provided have, indeed, joggled my memory as to the purpose
of cases, why they are important, and I remember enough about what each
of them are for to get back to what I am trying to do, which is to learn
Russian :)  Thanks for putting up with me!
