FAQ about prepositions

What is the main idea behind these three groups?
Some prepositions always require dative, some always require accusative, and two-way prepositions can use either case. For a full case refresher, the cases overview is a helpful reference.
How can I learn dative prepositions faster?
Start with the most frequent ones and learn them in short phrases. A good place to review examples is the dative prepositions page.
Which accusative prepositions show up most often?
Many learners meet für, durch, ohne, and gegen early. To see a clear list with examples, open the accusative prepositions guide.
When do two-way prepositions use dative and when accusative?
Use dative for location and accusative for direction or change of place. A quick check is to ask where or where to.
How should I practice after this quiz?
Repeat the quiz and then build one sentence for each preposition. After that, practice articles daily with the Premium Article Trainer so the forms become natural.
