In Serbian grammar, preposition combinations are structures comprised of a preposition and a noun, pronoun or numeral. They are primarily used to indicate spatial, temporal, causal and other relationships. Like in other languages, these combinations play a crucial role in sentence construction, and mastering them is key to attaining fluency in Serbian. It’s also important to note that certain prepositions require the noun to be in a specific grammatical case.
