35. Object of a Preposition O Just like English, German has prepositions. O When a noun follows a preposition, in is called an object of a preposition. O When a noun follows a preposition defined as an “Accusative Preposition,” it uses accusative articles.

36. Prepositions O Accusative Prepositions: O durch – through O für – for O gegen - against O ohne – without O um – at, around O bis – until O entlang - along

37. Pronouns O Just like in English, pronouns are used to replace nouns auf Deutsch. O Usually, these nouns have previously been referred to in written, spoken, or listening mode of communication. O Pronouns also need to reflect the case they are in.
