# Chapter 8 — Preposition Parsing Drill

BBG Chapter 8 · Prepositions and εἰμί

For each prepositional phrase, identify: (1) the preposition, (2) the case it governs (Gen / Dat / Acc), and (3) an English translation of the phrase.

Reminder: Some prepositions take different cases with different meanings. Use the article to confirm case: τοῦ / τῆς / τῶν = Gen; τῷ / τῇ / τοῖς / ταῖς = Dat; τόν / τήν / τό / τούς / τάς / τά = Acc.
