Prepositions

This lesson is coming soon.

What you’ll learn:

• Accusative prepositions: durch (through), für (for), gegen (against), ohne (without), um (around)
• Dative prepositions: aus (from/out of), bei (at/near), mit (with), nach (after/to), seit (since), von (from), zu (to)
• Two-way prepositions: in, an, auf, über, unter, vor, hinter, neben, zwischen — these take Accusative for motion and Dative for location
• The motion vs. location rule: “Wohin?” (where to?) = Accusative, “Wo?” (where?) = Dative
• Common prepositional phrases used in daily life
• Memory trick: the “DOGFU” acronym for Accusative prepositions
