FAQ about prepositions and cases

Why do prepositions matter so much for articles?
A preposition often controls the case of the noun phrase that follows. That case changes the article, so the same noun can appear with different forms depending on the preposition.
How can I learn dative and accusative prepositions faster?
Group them by case and practice with short sentences. If you need a clear overview, use dative prepositions and accusative prepositions.
What is special about two way prepositions?
They can take dative for location and accusative for direction. The meaning of the sentence decides which case you need. A focused explanation is here: two way prepositions.
Do genitive prepositions still appear in modern German?
Yes, especially in formal writing and careful speech. Common ones include trotz, während, außerhalb, and innerhalb. You can review them here: genitive prepositions.
What should I do when I feel unsure during the quiz?
First identify the preposition, then decide the case it requires. After that, choose the article that matches gender and number. Small steps make the choice much easier.
