Verbs with prepositions - Learn German Smarter
www.learn-german-smarter.com › learn-german-verbsBasically, when learning German verbs with prepositions, you have to learn which preposition each individual verb uses. The problem: When prepositions are used as a part of fixed phrases (as with the German verbs with prepositions) then they often lose their original meaning. The whole verb-phrase (verb + preposition) then receives a new meaning. The consequence: The connection verb + preposition is very hard to learn.

Thus "wait FOR" is "warten AUF" (not "warten FÜR") in German, "believe IN" is "glauben AN" (not "glauben IN") etc. In some cases, a German prepositional verb does not require a preposition in English. For example, "I answer the question" is "Ich antworte AUF die Frage," and "I doubt you" is "Ich zweifle AN dir."
