Review Summary
- er + preposition
Häufige Fehler
You cannot use 'het' or 'dat' after a preposition for an object. You must use the pronominal adverb.
The preposition 'mee' must be at the end, and 'er' must be at the start of the pronominal unit.
Even if the noun is mentioned, replacing it with the pronominal adverb makes the sentence sound more natural in context.
