德语语法（英德对照）-Asking and talking about locat

To ask where something is located you use wo, where:

 

 

Wo wohnst du                                                                    Where do you live

When you indicate the place where something is located you use in:

 

Ich wohne in Berlin                                                               I live in Berlin

To state location, you can also use an.

An is like the word at in English, and you use it in a similar way:

 

Ich studiere an der Universität in Berlin                                 I'm studying at Berlin University

Both in and an can change depending on the word that follows them.

 

With der and das words, in changes to im, which is short for in + dem, in the:

 

das Krankenhaus »                                                             Ich arbeite im Krankenhaus

An follows a similar pattern. With der and das words, an changes to am, which is short for an + dem, at the:

 

der Potsdamer Platz »                                                         Ist das am Potsdamer Platz

With die words, in and an cause the die to change to der:

 

die Oranienburger Straße »                                                   Ich wohne in der Oranienburger Straße

 

die Universität »                                                               Ich studiere an der Universität
