Pronouns after prepositions - Easy Learning Grammar Spanish
- In English, we use me, you, him and so on after a preposition, for example, he came towards me; it’s for you; books by him. In Spanish, there is a special set of pronouns which are used after prepositions.
- The pronouns used after a preposition in Spanish are the same as the subject pronouns, except for the forms mí (meaning me) ti (meaning you), and sí (meaning himself, herself, yourself, themselves, yourselves).
| Singular | Meaning | Plural | Meaning |
| mí | me | nosotros | us (masculine) |
| ti | you | nosotras | us (feminine) |
| él | him | vosotros | you (masculine) |
| ella | her | vosotras | you (feminine) |
| usted (Vd.) | you | ellos | them (masculine) |
| sí | himself herself yourself | ellas | them (feminine) |
| ustedes (Vds.) | you | ||
| sí | themselves yourselves |
| Pienso en ti. | I think about you. |
| ¿Son para mí? | Are they for me? |
| No he sabido nada de él. | I haven’t heard from him. |
| Es para ella. | It’s for her. |
| Iban hacia ellos. | They were going towards them. |
| Volveréis sin nosotros. | You’ll come back without us. |
| Volaban sobre vosotros. | They were flying above you. |
- Note that mí, sí and él each have an accent, to distinguish them from mi (meaning my) , si (meaning if), and el (meaning the), but ti does not have an accent.
- These pronouns are often used for emphasis.
| ¿A ti no te escriben? | Don’t they write to you? |
| Me lo manda a mí, no a ti. | She’s sending it to me, not to you. |
- con (meaning with) combines with mí, ti and sí to form:
- conmigo with me
| Ven conmigo. | Come with me. |
- contigo with you
| Me gusta estar contigo. | I like being with you. |
- consigo with himself/herself/yourself/themselves/yourselves
| Lo trajeron consigo. | They brought it with them. |
- entre, hasta, salvo, menos and según are always used with the subject pronouns (yo and tú), rather than with the object pronouns (mí and ti).
- entre between, among
| entre tú y yo | between you and me |
- hasta even, including
| Hasta yo puedo hacerlo. | Even I can do it. |
- menos except
| todos menos yo | everybody except me |
- salvo except
| todos salvo yo | everyone except me |
- según according to
| según tú | according to you |
