6. Latin prepositions
Latin prepositions are associated either with Acc. or Abl. or both.
Which means that we have three groups: (a) prepositions that require always using of Acc.; (b) prepositions requiring Abl.; (c) prepositions requiring both.
Both grammatical numbers can be used depending on meaning.
