Prepositions with Accusative – Präpositionen mit Akkusativ

Hi everyone! Today we'll explore a very important topic in German: Prepositions with Accusative (Präpositionen mit Akkusativ). These are special words that always put the noun and its article that follow them into the Accusative case.

Some key prepositions include für (for), durch (through), ohne (without), and gegen (against). For instance, if we want to say "for the father," der Vater (the father) becomes den Vater in Accusative. So, we say für den Vater. Or, "through the window" is durch das Fenster, as das Fenster remains unchanged in Accusative.

Remember, it's crucial to memorize these prepositions and practice them frequently with examples. This way, you'll quickly and easily know which prepositions require the Accusative case. Practice is key!
