FAQ about finding genitive phrases
What counts as a genitive phrase in this quiz?
A genitive phrase is the part that shows belonging or a close connection, such as des Autos or der Gäste. In many sentences it appears because of a genitive preposition, but you only choose the genitive phrase itself. If you want a full overview, use the genitive case guide.
Why do the answer choices not include the preposition?
This forces you to focus on the case form, not on a single trigger word. It is a useful skill for reading, exams, and editing your own writing.
Which prepositions often lead to genitive structures?
Common ones include wegen, trotz, während, aufgrund, anlässlich, infolge, und angesichts. A larger list with examples is here: genitive prepositions list.
What is the fastest way to improve accuracy?
Read the full sentence first, then look for clear genitive markers such as des or der before the noun. After that, check if the phrase answers the idea of belonging or reason within the sentence.
