For an assignment for my Russian class, my teachers asks that we replace the verb ходить by the verb быть (and visa-versa), and to change the case of the nouns following the verb. The example she gives is "Он был на вечере. --> Он ходил на вечер."

This confused me a little bit, but now I think I understand what she wants. So... am I doing it right?

1. На прошлой неделе он ходил в Эрмитаж. ---> На прошлой неделе он был в Эрмитаже.
2. Где ты был вчера вечером? Я был на Арбате. ---> Где ты ходил вчера вечером? Я ходил на Арбат.

It would be better Куда ты ходил вчера вечером? - Я ходил на Арбат.

Куда ты ходил вечером?

right, you're taking it from MOTION (which takes accusative) and now focusing on LOCATION (which takes prepositional). Does that make sense?

В Эрмитаж ходят, по Арбату гуляют.

Not to offend your teacher, but... Он ходил на вечер without saying when it was, sounds wrong. Вчера он ходил на вечер is the same as вчера он был на вечере. Он ходил на вечера (without presision of the moment) is also ok, but it means something slightly different: it meant a repeatet action. So it needs plurel вечера and not вечер

Well, actually the phrases Он ходил на вечер & Он был на вечере sound ok to me but we barely use the word вечер without indicating what kind of вечер it was.
I mean, something like Он ходил на вечер поэзии (=поэтический вечер) would be much better. And if a party is meant the right word is вечеринка.
