Anita says:
Hello, in the second example, why is великоле́пный not in instrumental case after был? Thanks.
Learn Russian Words says:
Hi Anita,
You can say both: план был великолепный and план был великолепным.
Overall, you should use the Instrumental in the Past and Future tenses, but the Nominative case can be used in certain cases to add a certain literary expressiveness.
