Accusative and Ablative

Prepositions in Latin are followed by a word in either the Accusative or Ablative case. It is important to learn which case a preposition takes when studying the vocabulary entries for the chapter. A few prepositions, such as *in*, can take both the Accusative and the Ablative.
