Accusative prepositions in German

The German accusative prepositions are a set of prepositions that are used in the accusative case in the German language. This means that they indicate the direct object of a sentence, or the person or thing that is affected by the action.


Here are some examples of German accusative prepositions, along with their translations into English:


Durch: through

Example: Ich gehe durch den Park. (I am walking through the park.)


Für: for

Example: Ich kaufe das Buch für meine Schwester. (I am buying the book for my sister.)


Gegen: against

Example: Ich kämpfe gegen meine Angst. (I am fighting against my fear.)


Ohne: without

Example: Ich gehe ohne meinen Freund. (I am going without my friend.)


Um: around

Example: Ich gehe um den See. (I am walking around the lake.)


These are just a few examples of German accusative prepositions, but there are many more that are used in the German language. It is important to understand the correct usage of these prepositions in order to speak and write German accurately and effectively.
