When prepositional (also analytic case, analytical flexion) is apparently a case, which is determined by a preposition in the bound use.

The dative " the learning outcomes " in the example determines the preposition "with".

Criticism

The linguistic history found that the shape of the formation of the case originally used was replaced in some Indo-European languages ​​in the course of time by the prepositional.
