Preposition "to" => dative?

The preposition “zu” is followed by the dative.

My question about the following sentence:

But that's no reason not to keep working on your goals.

at your goals… Was the dative used here because of the preposition “zu ”?

Or am I completely wrong?

Do you have any general tips on how to distinguish between the 3rd and 4th cases?

In your example, the Dativ hangs to your goals of the preposition on off. This preposition can be both the Dativ (we camped on a lakeside) as well as the activity (our tent camp bordered on the lakeside) govern, where the tripod is much more hoarded.

The to is in another member, so nothing can be done with the objectives. : to here is a preposition or part of the infinitive, is a question of dispute, I would rather say second.

No, it’s proven to be “infinitive.” Preposition can still be.

To do something.

Editing something.

To + Infinitive and

Infinitive rates.

Jesus, wee tears! You know First + Last not?

The writer invented by some of Potter’s dementors “second”, that you use incomprehensible, is a cruel imitation of the anyway strange First, that has long since been high language.

By the way: The “to” in an infinitive is 100% not a preposition, but only a particle. https://www.dwds.de/wb/zu#d-1-2

Here it was connected to an infinitive and no tripod. It is not firmly defined that to stand with Dativ, there are also other cases.

You confuse the resection of the verb “work on (+ Dativ)” with “to + Infinitiv”.

“Work on” always forces a tripod object.

“Zu + Infinitiv” is the short form of an object hub set with often thought the same subject as in the main set.

Alternative: Das is no reason that you will not continue to your goals work.

Right. Otherwise, there are verbs that the Dativ or Rechargeable. e.g. give+Dative; see+Accusative.
