Dative and Accusative Preposition Exercises for Die Welt steht auf Pause

These exercises are all about practicing the prepositions in this song that are followed by the dative and accusative cases. If you need a review of these prepositions or the cases, information can be found on our Activities page.

In these exercises, the prepositions and the following determiners have been removed from the song lyrics so that you can listen to the song and fill them in. We have also provided the English translation or the grammatical information to guide you in filling in the blanks if you would rather not listen to the song. On this page, the video floats so you can pause it more easily if needed. If you aren’t super confident of the spellings yet, go ahead and use the drag and drop exercise. But if you think you’ve got the prepositions down use the fill in the blank exercise.

The highlighting exercise is just about recognizing the prepositions and dative and accusative case determiners. Can you pick out all the instances?

Lastly, we’ve added a multiple choice activity for you to choose which case follows each preposition in this song.
