Concise grammar

Direction by -n

After prepositions, use the basic word form without -n.
pri la knabo - about the boy
en la domoj - in the houses
al la urbo - to the city

After prepositions which do not indicate movement, but do indicate a place, you use -n to show motion to that location.
Hundo saltas sur la tablo. - A dog jumps on the table.
Hundo saltas sur la tablon. - A dog jumps onto the table.
Mi iras en la domo. - I go in the house.
Mi iras en la domon. - I go into the house.

La kuniklo saltas sur la elefanton.
La kuniklo saltas sur la elefanto.

-n works the same way after adverbs which indicate location.
hejme - at home | hejmen - [to] home
urbe - in the city | urben - to the city
kie - where | kien - to where
tie - there | tien - to there
