Document Summary

German quiz 4 (week 11) da-/wo-compounds da- or dar- + preposition. When the object of the preposition is a thing or concept, it is common in english to use the pronoun it or them with a preposition: with it, for them, and so on. Davor in front of it/them daran on it/them. Dazu to it/them darauf on top of it/them dazwischen between it/them. Note that the following prepositions cannot be preceded by da(r)-: ohne, au er, seit. Use a preposition + wem or wen to ask about people. Questions about people begin with wer (who) or wen/wem (whom). If a preposition is involved, it precedes the question word. Who will you go to the theater with? (with whom ?) Who did you fall in love with this time? (with whom ?) Use wo- + a preposition to ask about things or ideas. Questions about things and concepts begin with was (what).
