Prepositions are small but important words that help us understand the relationships between different parts of a sentence. Words like "in," "on," "under," and "between" show us where things are, when things happen, and how things are connected. Learning to use prepositions correctly can make a big difference in how well you speak and write.

Among the widely used words in English are prepositions. As one of the function words, prepositions cannot stand on their own to form meaning. It needs other parts of speech to create a complete sentence. Nouns and pronouns fill in the gaps and take the function of becoming an object of the preposition.


Using and finding the object of the preposition in a sentence is relatively easy. First, familiarize yourself with prepositions and their meanings. Then, look for the preposition in the sentence and identify what follows it. That would be the object of the preposition.


English grammar, like any language, is a complex subject to study. Understanding and applying grammar rules can be challenging, especially for English language learners. However, your success in learning the language is dependent on your learning plan.


First, know that there are different levels of language proficiency. Knowing your status allows you to align it with your study materials and learning strategy. To keep your motivation, select beginner-friendly materials instead of university textbooks when starting. In doing so, you will feel less intimidated by the topics you should learn.


Second, focus on the basics: nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. Learn how to use them correctly in sentences and understand their meaning. It will help you build a strong foundation for your English language learning journey. Divide those topics into subtopics and learn each concept and rule one by one.

Keep in mind, for example, that if you want to say that you come from (are a native of) a country, you would say, "Ich komme aus Deutschland", whereas if you are coming from one destination to another you would say, for example, "Ich fahre von Bonn nach Koeln."


You will also find exercises to help you learn accusative, dative, and two-way prepositions. Although prepositions will not change with case like adjectives or nouns, there are some prepositions which will require the noun to take the accusative case, others the dative case and still others will take either case depending on how they are used. The accusative prepositions are durch, fuer, gegen, ohne, um.The dative prepositions are aus, ausser, bei, gegenueber, mit, nach, seit, von, zu, statt, trotz and waehrend.The two-way prepositions are an, auf, hinter, in, neben, ueber, unten, vor, zwischen.
