B2 Genitiv Prepositions (aufgrund, infolge, angesichts, hinsichtlich, anstelle) – Exercises

In German, some prepositions put the following noun into the Genitiv (the possessive case); the most frequent are während, wegen, trotz and statt; at B2, aufgrund, infolge, angesichts, hinsichtlich, mittels, zwecks and anstelle are added. After these prepositions, articles and adjective endings take their Genitiv forms, and masculine and neuter nouns also add -s/-es: während des Unterrichts (during the lesson), trotz des schlechten Wetters (despite the bad weather), wegen eines Fehlers (because of a mistake). When the prepositional phrase moves to the start of the sentence, the verb stays in second position: "Trotz des Regens gehen wir spazieren." Innerhalb and aufgrund follow the same pattern: innerhalb einer Woche, aufgrund der Verspätung. In everyday speech wegen and trotz are often heard with the Dativ too, but written and formal German expects the Genitiv.

📌
Golden rule: The prepositions wegen, trotz, während and (an)statt always take the Genitiv: "wegen des Regens".

When you choose the right article and noun ending for each preposition, a short note explains which rule applies (the masculine -es ending or the unchanged feminine article). That way you reinforce the pattern in context and notice the very common Dativ–Genitiv mix-up on the spot. The topic is especially useful for B2 learners moving into formal and academic German and for Goethe-Zertifikat B2, telc B2 or TestDaF candidates, because correctly declined Genitiv prepositions make a visible difference to the score in the written parts of these exams.
