What is Temporal Prepositions? (Temporale Präpositionen)
- Temporal Prepositions are those related to Time.
- Questions = Wann? Wie lange?
- The Preposition determines which case to use.
- Depending on the situation, we have to use different Temporal Prepositions.
Temporal Prepositions with Accusative
Temporal Prepositions with Dative
Temporal Prepositions with Genitive
Attention:
Always make sure that the Prepositions are Temporal Prepositions and not, for example, Local Prepositions. The Prepositions „an“ and „in“ force you to use the Dative as a Temporal Preposition, but as a Local Preposition you have to use them with the Dative OR the Accusative. For more on this, see: Alternative Prepositions.
