Preguntas frecuentes (6)

Romanian uses cases to show the relationship between words. Prepositions act as triggers for these cases.
Most simple prepositions are Accusative. Spatial ones are usually Genitive.
It depends on the noun. 'La școală' means 'at school', 'la ora 5' means 'at 5 o'clock'.
No, 'în' implies being inside something. Using it for a point like 'school' sounds unnatural.
No, only those that govern the Genitive or Dative case.
If it's a spatial preposition like 'în fața' or 'în spatele', it's Genitive.
