Title: Prepositional Pronouns

Prepositional Pronouns
2
  • 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 what prepositions are.
  • Unfortunately, many of you have.

3
  • Prepositions are words that show the relationship
    between other words.
  • The boy with the gorgeous smile is my brother.
  • With shows the relationship between boy and
    smile.
  • He lives in Alaska.
  • In shows the relationship between lives and
    Alaska.

4
  • In English, prepositions are usually, but not
    always, short words
  • of from
  • to at
  • in near
  • for under
  • over with
  • BUT
  • between beneath
  • during before
  • beside inside
  • outside

5
  • A large number of Spanish prepositions have de
    with them
  • después de--after antes de--before
  • debajo de--under cerca de--near
  • al lado de--beside dentro de--inside
  • fuera de--outside
  • entrebetween conwith
  • enin, at, on sobreon, about
  • defrom duranteduring
  • ato porfor, by
  • para--for

6
  • 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
    near me.

7
  • 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
  • mí nosotros
  • ti vosotros
  • él, ella, Ud. ellos, Uds.

8
  • Lets look at those again
  • prepositional
  • nosotros
  • vosotros
  • él, ella, Ud. ellos, Uds.
  • They look a little familiar. Thats because,
    with the exception of mí and ti, theyre
    identical to SUBJECT pronouns
  • nosotros
  • vosotros
  • él, ella, Ud. ellos, Uds.


ti
yo

9
  • Mí probably also looks a little familiar.
    Thats because youve had mi. Remember what it
    means? Mymi casa. So the accent mark is
    important. It makes the difference between a
    prepositional PRONOUN (mí) and a possessive
    ADJECTIVE (mi).

10
  • Lets see what these pronouns look like in
    context
  • Juan habla con ella.
  • Yo compré un libro para ti.
  • Elisa vive cerca de mí.
  • Esa carta es de nosotros.

11
  • So its simple. Whenever you have a preposition
    and need a pronoun after it, use one of these
  • prepositional
  • mí nosotros
  • ti vosotros
  • él, ella, Ud. ellos, Uds.

12
  • prepositional subject
  • mí nosotros yo nosotros
  • ti vosotros tú vosotros
  • él, ella, Ud. ellos, Uds. él, ella, Ud. ellos,
    Uds.
  • direct object indirect object
  • me nos me nos
  • te os te os
  • lo, la los, las le les
  • reflexive possessive
    ADJECTIVES
  • me nos mi nuestro
  • te os tu vuestro
  • se se su su
