Please read Croy Lesson 6.36 carefully and make sure you understand all the examples that he gives.
Whenever you learn a preposition you need to learn which case(s) the preposition can be used with, and the particular meaning that it has with each case.
To supplement the examples provided by Croy, I've prepared this chart using the prepositions you are learning in this lesson and some of the nouns you have learned already:
| Genitive | Genitive Def. | Accusative | Accusative Def. | Dative | Dative Def. |
| ἀπὸ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ | from the sky |
||||
| ἐκ τῆς βασιλείας | out of the kingdom |
||||
| πρὸς τοὺς ἀνθρώπους | toward the people |
||||
| εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν |
into the sea |
||||
| ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ | in the desert |
||||
| μετὰ τῶν προφητῶν | with the prophets |
μετὰ τοὺς προφήτας | after the prophets |
||
| διὰ τοῦ κόσμου | through the world |
διὰ τὸν κόσμον | because of the world |
||
| περὶ τῶν οἴκων | concerning the houses |
περὶ τοὺς οἴκους | around the houses |
