Roimhearan fillte agus an tuiseal ginideach

Compound prepositions and the genitive (possessive) case

We learned that we usually have to use an tuiseal ginideach (the genitive (possessive) case) after compound prepositions if a noun comes after them. We saw a geàrr–chunntas (summary) of rules for an tuiseal ginideach (the genitive (possessive) case) in Cuspair 4.
