FAQ about prepositions and cases

How do I know if a preposition needs dative or accusative?
Many prepositions always use one case. That is why it helps to learn them in groups. Start with dative prepositions and then learn accusative prepositions.
Why do I see der, dem, den, die, and das changing so often?
Articles change because the case changes. The same noun can look different depending on the sentence. If you want a simple refresher, compare the dative case with the accusative case.
What is a quick way to check my choice in a sentence?
Look at the preposition and ask what it requires. Then check the noun gender and number. If you are unsure about the bigger system, read the cases overview and come back to the quiz.
Should I learn prepositions as single words or as phrases?
Phrases are better because you learn sound and rhythm at the same time. Short sentences with common nouns help a lot. For a general overview of the topic, you can also read this prepositions guide.
