Pronouns with prepositions
When following a preposition (con, para, de, etc.), personal pronouns aren't always the same.
| Personal pronouns | Pronouns with a preposition |
|---|---|
| yo | a mí |
| tú | para ti |
| él/ella/usted | con él/ella/usted |
| nosotros/as | por nosotros/as |
| vosotros/as | sobre vosotros/as |
| ellos/ellas/ustedes | de ellos/ellas/ustedes |
Only two pronouns change: yo (I) changes to mí (me) and tú (you) changes to ti (you).
Podéis ir sin mí.
You can go without me.
Este regalo es para ti.
This gift is for you.
Notes :
- No pronoun changes with the prepositions hasta (even), entre (between), and según (according to).
Hasta yo lo entiendo.
Even I understand.
Entre tú y yo podemos hacerlo.
Between you and me, we can do it.
- The preposition con (with) takes on a special form with the pronouns mí (me) and ti (you): con + mí = conmigo (with me), con + ti = contigo (with you).
Vienes conmigo a la playa.
You're coming with me to the beach.
Carolina no quiere hablar contigo.
Carolina doesn't want to speak with you.
