Präpositionen mit Dativ (aus, bei, mit, nach, seit, von, zu)

INTRODUCTION

'mit dem Bus', 'zum Arzt', 'aus der Türkei', 'seit einem Jahr' — many of the most common patterns of everyday German are built with prepositions that take the Dativ. After these prepositions the noun is always in the Dativ. If you know the Dativ articles, all that's left is to memorise the prepositions and a few contracted forms (zum, zur, beim, vom).
