Highlight prepositions and conjunctions in a text?

Hello,

I just can't remember which words are prepositions and which are conjunctions for my German exam next week. We'll have to highlight these in a text for the exam… Do you have any ideas on how I can better remember which words are prepositions and which are conjunctions?

I hope someone can help me!

Thanks

Hello!

A preposition is also referred to as “ratio word” or “preface”.

Definition:

“Word, the words are related to each other and indicate a certain relationship.”

Examples:

– His book was on the table.

After Work I left school.

A conjunction is also referred to as a “binding word”. It connects main set with main set or main set with auxiliary set. After the conjunction, at least one subject and one verb can usually come, which is clearly recognizable, which connects everything to a conjunction.

Examples:

– He ran fast, because on time he wanted to be.

– He opens the door and Come in.

If you have to differentiate between preposition and conjunction, a comma may also in the case of a preposition normally not. That can help you.

Preposition and conjunction cannot be changed, they usually appear as one learns.

You should correct the nonsense in the first sentence.

Already done! Because of the fast writing, “pronouns” and “pronouns” were “pronouns”. Now it’s reversed.

Prepositions (prewords ) are always linked to a case and usually relate to a nom or a pronoun (you, this one, this one, all…)

Best of all, you learn them here and try to remember as many as possible, especially the first group:

1) Prepositions Dativ (Question where?) o d eAccurate (Question where?):

on,on, behind, in, next, onunder, before, between

2) Prepositions Dativ :

•but, •besides, •contrary to, •besides, •besides, •from

•industry •industry •industry •industry •industry

•to be irresponsible

3) Prepositions Battery:

•without, •by, •by, •for, •to, •to,

4) Prepositions with Genetic

Conjunctions (=binding words) but connect parts or sentences :

and, or, because that, by, if, because, there, as, as, as, whether, during, before, as long as,

A conjunction connects two main sets.

For example: Hans celebrates his birthday and everyone has fun.

Since you could also write “Hans celebrates his birthday. Everyone has fun.” connects the “and” two main sets and is therefore a conjunction. Attention: Do not confuse with the subjunction, which connects a main set, i.e. superordinate set, to a secondary set, i.e. a subordinate set (e.g. Because Hans celebrates his birthday, everyone has fun. -> ‘Because as subjunction).

I can only recommend Koschutnig’s answer to the prepositions

A conjunction connects two main sets.

There are also subordinate conjunctions that are also conjunctions. These are the subjunctions.

A conjunction can connect both main and secondary as well as main and main sets. Still called “conjunction”.

That was so new to me that subjunctions are also called subordinate conjunctions, that was always taught at school as something different, but can also be different from federal to federal or even school to school…

Ah, okay! All right!

No, subjunctions are, of course, subordinate conjunctions, otherwise there would not be the term “subordinate conjunction”. This is actually the case in German.
