I was previewing "English Grammar for students of German" on amazon, and I came across a
useful tip to always learn verbs together with the prepositions they go with (including if the verb does not have a preposition). Eg "search for" Are there any German vocab books/resources which treat prepositions as integral forms of the verbs? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

This may help you Gemuse.
http://www.slowgerman.com/2012/03/13/slow-german-071-verben- mit-prapositionen/ Unfortunately, it doesn't include the English equivalents, but it's the first thing I could think of off the top of my head. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

"750 Verbs and Their Uses: German" is a great book with loads of example sentences. It
may not be as systematic as you may want, but if you can master the contents of that book you'll be doing really well. I actually need to get back to that myself... 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Thanks Tollpatchig, and osoymar!
Ordered "750 Verbs and Their Uses: German". It does seem like the book I was looking for, the amazon preview pages seem good. PS: Book out of print. Why is it that tons of good books are out of print? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

You also might find the E-VALBU (Das elektronische Valenzwörterbuch deutscher Verben) helpful. The user interface is a bit slow and clunky, but it contains information that you might useful.
For example, let's assume that you want to know what preposition "suchen" is used with. If you click S, suchen and then suchen <nach> the dictionary will display lots of realistic example sentences (and some grammar gobbledegook that you ignore, unless you're into abstract grammar concepts). 4 persons have voted this message useful | |

It's out of print? Sometimes I really think there's a conspiracy out there to keep people
monolingual... although I bought the book used, so I suppose I'm not helping convince the publishers of its value! @Doitsujin- what a great resource! Thanks for sharing. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

"Ich bin als Siebter mitt der Prüfung fertig."
I am trying to figure out where I could have learn that mitt goes with "bin fertig". I mean, now I know that for "bin fertig" it is "mitt" but for others? It is not a simple case of verb+prep methinks. Its verb+adjective + added prep. 1 person has voted this message useful |
