Prepositions are words that establish relationships between nouns, pronouns, and other words within a sentence. They typically indicate location, direction, time, or manner.

Articulated Prepositions

Articulated prepositions, also known as compound prepositions, are formed by combining a preposition (such as “a,” “de,” “en,” “con,” etc.) with an article (such as “el,” “la,” “los,” “las,” etc.). They are always used together and cannot be separated.

  • A + el: al (to the)
  • A + la: a la (to the)
  • De + el: del (of/from the)
  • De + la: de la (of/from the)
  • En + el: en el (in/on the)
  • En + la: en la (in/on the)
  • Con + el: con el (with the)
  • Con + la: con la (with the)

Simple Prepositions

Simple prepositions, as the name suggests, consist of a standalone word and do not require an article.

  • A: to, at
  • De: of, from
  • En: in, on, at
  • Con: with
  • Por: by, for, through
  • Para: for, to
  • Sin: without
  • Ante: before, in the presence of
  • Bajo: under, beneath
  • Cabe: beside, near
  • Desde: from, since
  • Entre: between, among
  • Hacia: toward, towards
  • Hasta: until, up to, as far as
  • Pro: for, in favor of
  • Según: according to
  • Tras: after, behind
  • Excepto: except, besides
  • Mediante: through, by means of

Understanding both articulated and simple prepositions is essential for mastering any language. Articulated prepositions consist of a preposition combined with an article, while simple prepositions are standalone words. Remember, practice makes perfect when it comes to using prepositions effectively in your writing and communication!
