German prepositions include words like bis , mit , über and durch . They’re words that go before a noun (or pronoun) to provide extra information -- usually something about the noun’s position in time or space. Examples of English prepositions include “until”, “with” and “before”. What makes German prepositions more complicated than their English counterparts is that you also need to worry about case .
