Two-Way Prepositions

The simple rule to remember is: if you are referring to either movement or direction, you use the accusative case, whereas if you are referring to location or position, you use the dative.

Some of the most common two-way prepositions include:

Anto, on
Aufon, upon

Vonfrom, of
