German prepositions : the "da-" preifx
1. The " da-" corresponds to English "therefore", "therewith" and so on ...
2. Thus, we may have : dabei, dadurch, dafür, dagegen, dahinter, damit, danach, daneben, davon, davor, dazu, and dazwischen.
3. I the the preposition begins with a vowel, an " r" is insterted : daran, darauf, daraus, darin, darüber, darum, and darunten.
NO other prepositions combine with " da".
4. These compounds with " da" replace preposition + pronoun referring to inanimate objects.
The two-word form is retained for persons.
eg.,
Was hast du für ihn gemacht?
vs
Was hast du dafür bezahlt?
