Prepositions - Danish Grammar

Preposition exercises are an integral part of mastering Danish grammar. Like English, prepositions in Danish are used to establish a relationship between a noun (or pronoun) and another element in the clause. They convey information about directions, locations, time, and manner. Essentially, they provide context to the sentence, making the communication clear and precise.

An effective way to acquire proficiency in Danish prepositions is through dedicated exercises. These aim to help students understand the use of each preposition in different contexts. They present scenarios where students have to fill the blanks with appropriate prepositions or choose the right preposition from a set of options.

For instance, the preposition ‘i’ often translates as ‘in’, but its usage varies based on context. Exercises will help students understand when to use ‘i’ for ‘in’, ‘on’, or ‘at’. Similarly, ‘på’ can mean ‘on’, ‘at’ or ‘in’ depending on the context.

In exercises, students encounter different sentences like “Han bor _____ København” and must determine whether to use ‘i’ or ‘på’. Other exercises require them to translate phrases or sentences from English to Danish, for example “She is in the house” to “Hun er i huset
