Präpositionen mit Akkusativ (für, durch, gegen, ohne, um)
In German, some prepositions determine the case of the noun following them. 'für' (for), 'durch' (through), 'gegen' (against), 'ohne' (without), and 'um' (around, at [time]) always require the Akkusativ. These prepositions occur very frequently in everyday conversation: 'für dich', 'ohne Zucker', 'um 8 Uhr'. If you have learned the Akkusativ, this topic is very easy: the rule is the same, you just need to memorise the prepositions.
