Can someone explain why is October in the locative? I thought that it should be in the accusative, since w+time/date=accusative, or, since it is a negative sentence, in the genitive, but something essential might have flown right over my head.
Why is this "W październiku" instead of "We"? Another sentence in this lesson is "I go to school in September" and the translation begins "we wrześniu..."
Yeah, but "w październiku" is easily pronouncable (well, at least to a native), while "w wrześniu" not really.
Generally, "w" changes into "we" if the word that follows starts with W/F + another consonant. Therefore: w Warszawie, but we Wrocławiu; w Finlandii, but we Francji.
