Need help with my German homework?

Question

I need help with the prepositions "Aus" and "Auf". I need a native speaker (reply in english, please- i only have 1 year of German language experience) or someone who at least KNOWS the language to help me! Please!

Answer 1

"aus" is "out of", (or in some expressions "finished" )and always goes with a dative case
"auf" means "on (top of)" and is followed by an accusative if it's a direction, by a dative if it's a location

Unless its really about where things are, don't ever try to translate prepositions, because German usage is very different from English.
e.g. "on television" becomes "im Fernsehen"

I hope that helps. Viel Spaß!

Answer 2

preposition "aus" takes dativ (to show the indirect object of a sentence). Dative forms always involve the endings -em or -m (m. and neut. sing.); -er or -r (f.sing) and -en or -n (pl) "aus" means ouf of, from e.g. Sie geht aus dem Haus. / Sie kommt aus Deutschland

prepostion "auf" takes dativ or accusative ( depends on the action) if movement is involved use accusative e.g. i sit myself on the sofa = ich setze mich auf das Sofa.
if no action, just position, use the dative form e.g. i sit on the sofa = ich sitze auf dem Sofa..easy way to remember - Mac (motion -accusative Pod (position -dative)

hope this helps!! good luck!!

Answer 4

Aus means out of and takes genitive case, auf means on and takes accusative.

Or I could be completely wrong.
