| 13.2.1 Some preposition that require the Akkusativ |
| preposition |
| without for against |

| Erika does nothing | preposition | personal pronoun | definite article | indefinite article | |
| Erika macht nichts | ohne | mich | den Mann | einen Mann | |
| für | dich | die Männer | einige Männer | ||
|
gegen | ihn | die Frau | eine Frau | |
| sie | die Frauen | einige Frauen | |||
| uns | das Kind | ein Kind | |||
| euch | die Kinder | einige Kinder | |||
| sie | |||||

As you can see the object that follows the preposition
has to be declined according to the Accusative -declination
no matter whether it is a noun, a pronoun or (and we
will see later an adjective). More details on prepositions
you'll find in chapter 19
- more prepositions.
Erika
macht nichts ohne ihn. = Erika
does nothing without him.
Erika macht
nichts für das Kind. = Erika does nothing for the child.
Erika macht
nichts gegen den Mann. = Erika does nothing against the man.
Erika macht
nichts für ein Kind. =
Erika does nothing for a child.
Erika macht
nichts ohne eine Frau. = Erika does nothing without a woman.
These few examples just show the principle. All the
prepositions that require the Accusative work the same
way. We'll see more of them later.
