used when a part of a whole is expressed. so “a piece of this,” emphasis on the “of” because thats a key word for the genitive.
Accusative of extent of space
the accusative without a preposition is used to indicate the extent of something (“how long?” “how high?”
dative with intransitive verbs
intransitive verbs are those that are not completed by an accusative direct object. The verbs “imperat” and “paret” are intransitive. These verbs go with the dative case, since the accusative case can’t be used because these verbs are intransitive. So the noun will be in the dative.
