These are just a few of the most common prepositions in Czech. It's important to remember that prepositions can change depending on the case of the noun or pronoun they are connected to. For example, the preposition "s" (with) changes to "se" when connected to a noun in the accusative case, and to "s" again when connected to a noun in the instrumental case.

The best way to learn prepositions in Czech is to practice using them in context. Try writing sentences using the prepositions above, and pay attention to the case of the noun or pronoun they are connected to. With practice, you'll become more comfortable using prepositions in Czech and will be able to communicate more effectively in the language.
