Accusative Prepositions Exercises
Practise German accusative prepositions with free, interactive exercises. Learn to use accusative prepositions and articles naturally in everyday conversation.
The accusative case is one of the most important German grammar topics. It helps us understand who is doing what to whom in a sentence.
On this page, you can practise prepositions that require the accusative case. The exercises that follow are designed for beginners, but you might also benefit as an intermediate learner (since prepositions can be hard to remember).
Recap: Accusative Prepositions
Before getting started with the exercises, here's a quick reminder for you:
These include: durch, für, gegen, ohne, and um.
When you spot any of these prepositions in a sentence, make sure the noun that follows is in the accusative. That means you may need to change the article or adjective ending to match the accusative case.

How to best practise accusative prepositions?
To practise prepositions that always take the accusative, start by learning what each one means and how it’s used in simple example sentences. Then, do exercises where you choose the correct article (like den, die, or das) after the preposition (like the ones on this page).
You can also in the beginning write down short sentences with these prepositions, and speak them out loud to get used to the structure.
