Verbs with Prepositions I — auf, über, für, an, in
Verbs with prepositions (Verben mit Präpositionen) are fixed verb+preposition combinations with a required case. Part one: warten auf, denken an, sich freuen über, sich interessieren für, bestehen aus.
How the rule begins
In German, many verbs require a fixed preposition — a combination that must be learned as a single unit. The preposition determines the case of the object (Akkusativ or Dativ). There is no general rule that lets you predict the right preposition — these combinations have to be memorised.
