Pronouns after Prepositions

Kurz erklärt

After most Spanish prepositions, use a stressed pronoun. The forms mí and ti are used for ‘me’ and singular informal ‘you.’ Most other forms look like subject pronouns: él, ella, usted, nosotros, nosotras, ustedes, ellos, and ellas. These pronouns can refer to people after prepositions such as para, de, sin, and a.

Verwendung

• Use mí or ti after most prepositions when referring to yourself or one person addressed informally.
• Use conmigo and contigo instead of con mí and con ti.
• With con and other people, keep the regular forms: con él, con ella, con usted, or con ustedes.
• After entre, use subject forms in expressions such as entre tú y yo.

❌ Este regalo es para tú.

✅ Este regalo es para ti.

After para, use the stressed prepositional form ti, not the subject form tú.

Use mí and ti after most prepositions, but conmigo and contigo with con. Say entre tú y yo.
