To express directions toward a place, German uses different prepostions depending on the nature of the place. The prepositions *nach*, *in*, *an* and *auf* all convey here the meaning of "to a place." Nach - used with names of cities, states, countries, and islands that are not preceded by an article (such as Italien, Marokko, etc.) In - used with names of countries and geographic areas that require the use of the definite article. An - used when referring to bodies of water. Auf - used when referring to heights or flat surfaces. The prepositions *an*, *auf* and *in* form contractions with the definite article *das* (ans, aufs, ins).
