auf,
zwischen
+ dem, der, dem |

Ich bin auf der
Olympia Messe.
I am at the
Olympia fair.
Zwischen Herrn
Walter und mir...
Between Mr Walter
and me...
The words
auf and
zwischen,
called prepositions, can describe a static position or relationship.
When they do so note how the
following words are affected: die in die Olympia Messe
changes to der Olympia
Messe, and Herr in Herr Walter changes to
Herrn
Walter.
These
changes are triggered by auf and
zwischen when they describe a state of
affairs. They are examples of prepositions followed by the dative case.
