German Verb Prepositions

German Verb Prepositions : exercises

As in English, the meanings of the prepositions in German are quite flexible, and very important to know, since these little words come up all the time. As a result, it is difficult to give English equivalents for a list like this. The compromise used below is to give their primary meanings, and to write "etc." where other meanings occur particularly often.

Prepositions are tricky, so learn them with either adjectives, nouns, or verbs!

What Are Prepositions?

Prepositions are words that link a noun to the rest of the sentence. They usually tell you about time, place and direction. Examples of English prepositions include on, out, under, from, with, about and until, but there are many more. They are those little words that you don’t even notice you’re using, but which completely change the meaning of the sentence.
