Prepositional phrases String of closely connected words Prep. + Object of Prep. upon + the roof beside + the tree after + the song

Casing the prepositions Each preposition has a favorite case (two or three) that it takes. Do not use the keywords (of [Gen]; to/for/at [Dat]) with the cases when they go with a preposition. Prepositions often extend, specify or develop an aspect of the accompanying case
