Ich bin auf der
Olympia Messe.
ÌýI am at the
Olympia fair.
Zwischen Herrn
Walter und mir...
ÌýBetween Mr Walter
and me...
The words
auf and
zwischen,
called prepositions, can describe a static position or relationship.
When they do so note how the
following words are affected: die in die Olympia Messe
changes to der Olympia
Messe, and Herr in Herr Walter changes to
Herrn
Walter.
These
changes are triggered by auf and
zwischen when they describe a state of
affairs. They are examples of prepositions followed by the dative case.
