UNIT TWENTY-THREE<br />
Prepositions<br />
Introduction<br />
In Unit 25 of Basic Dutch, we discussed prepositions in groups according<br />
to their function and meaning: time, place, mann<strong>er</strong>, reason, possession. This<br />
unit lists examples of some commonly used v<strong>er</strong>bs with prepositions and<br />
some fixed expressions combining nouns, adjectives and adv<strong>er</strong>bs with<br />
prepositions. The prepositions are listed in alphabetical ord<strong>er</strong>, each with<br />
the corresponding v<strong>er</strong>bs and some sample sentences. When the v<strong>er</strong>b is<br />
reflexive, the reflexive pronoun is abbreviated to z. (=zich). For reasons<br />
of space, we limit ourselves to only a few examples for each.<br />
