Bonus Included: Adjectives with Prepositions
Some German adjectives also require specific prepositions, like stolz auf, interessiert an, or zufrieden mit. The bonus sheet helps you recognize and practice those combinations too.
Why Fixed Prepositions Matter
Some German verbs do not let you choose any preposition you want. You say warten auf, denken an, sich freuen Ć¼ber, or teilnehmen an because those verbs usually pair with those prepositions.
If you choose the wrong preposition, the sentence may still be understandable, but it will sound wrong. This list gives you a quick reference so you can check the correct combination and case.
