So what are prepositional pronouns?

Theyre pronouns that follow prepositions.

Unfortunately, these days the next question

is What are prepositions? You shouldnt

reach college without knowing whatprepositions are.

Unfortunately, many of you have.

In English, direct object pronouns (d.o.), indirect

object pronouns (i.o.), and prepositional

pronouns (p.p.) are all the same:

me us

you yall

him,her,it them

d.o. i.o p.p.Juan sees me./Juan gave me the rose./Juan lives nearme.


7/14

In Spanish, however, there are three different sets:

direct indirect

me nos me nos

te os te os

lo, la los, las le les

prepositional

m nosotros

ti vosotros

l, ella, Ud. ellos, Uds.

Lets look at those again:

prepositional

nosotros

vosotros


They look a little familiar. Thats because, with the exception of

m and ti, theyre identical to SUBJECT pronouns:

nosotros

vosotros


m

ti

yo

t

Lets see what these pronouns look like in

context:

Juan habla con ella.

Yo compr un libro para ti.Elisa vive cerca de m.

Esa carta es de nosotros.


11/14

So its simple. Whenever you have a

preposition and need a pronoun after it,use one of these:

prepositional

m nosotros

ti vosotrosl, ella, Ud. ellos, Uds.

And youll never guess how youll be tested

over it:

multiple choice

But theres a catch.

Youll have direct objects, indirect objects,

reflexives, subjects, and possessives

mixed in there.

So it might be a good idea to review them.
