    How it works

    This is a verb phrase consisting of a direct object ('Geld' - money), a prepositional phrase ('am Automaten' - at the ATM), and a separable verb ('abheben' - to withdraw). 'Am Automaten' is a contraction of 'an dem Automaten', using the dative case after the preposition 'an' because it indicates a location. The separable prefix 'ab-' moves to the end of the sentence in simple main clauses.
