Prepositions with genitive case Exercises in Lithuanian language

This skill is essential for both written and spoken Lithuanian, as it enhances your ability to express complex relationships between objects, people, and concepts. In these exercises, you will practice using prepositions that require the genitive case. You will encounter a variety of contexts, from everyday conversations to more formal writing scenarios. Each exercise is designed to reinforce your understanding of how prepositions function with genitive nouns, and to help you internalize the rules through practical application.
