  2. “wo” vs. “wohin” “wo” is a question word that means “where” that is used to ask the location “wohin” is a question word that means “where to” and is used to express direction towards a place The prepositions “nach”, “in”, “an”, and “auf” can be used to mean “to a place”.

  3. Two-way prepositions “an”, “auf”, and “in” are three examples of two-way prepositions. This means that they take the dative case to indicate “location” and the accusative case to indicate “movement”. When using the question word “wohin”, you are implying movement from one place to another. Therefore, the objects of the prepositions “an, auf, in” are going to be in the accusative case.

  4. “nach” • The preposition “nach” is used to indicate going to a country, city, state, or island that is not proceeded by an article (die, der, das, etc)
