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.

resources.german.lsa.umich.edu › grammatikMost German prepositional verbs are also prepositional verbs in English, but the prepositions used with the verbs are not always analogous. 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."
