I can understand and use prepositions with dative articles and adjectives to say where specific things are located.

Show transcript
After the verb 'sein', adjectives before nouns have nominative endings, because the noun is the subject of the sentence. After most other verbs, prenominal adjectives have accusative endings, because the noun is the object of the sentence. German [v] usually sounds like English and German [f]; to write words correctly their spelling needs to be known. Some prepositions always require dative endings; e.g., aus; others are only ever used with the accusative, e.g., durch. The dative adjective ending is -en for singular and plural, definite and indefinite articles.
