Introduction

Einführung

Prepositions in German determine the grammatical case of the articles and pronouns used with them. This lesson deals with those that take the dative case. Typically these prepositions imply static locations and fixed states.

There are three other groups of German prepositions:

accusative prepositions which generally imply motion
two-way prepositions that can be used with either case to convey different meanings
genitive prepositions which technically require the genitive case but more often is used with the dative.
