Pronouns after prepositions

Pronouns that follow prepositions are different from other pronouns like subject pronouns (yo, tú, etc) and object pronouns (me, te, le, nos, os, lo, los, la, las).

Use the following pronouns after prepositions like

para → for
de → of/from
a → at/to
con → with
en → on,in
por → for, by
sin → without

 

Here are the pronouns that you use after prepositions:

Pronouns after prepositions
nosotros/as
ti
vosotros/as
él, ella, usted, nombre
ellos/as, ustedes, nombres

*Note that these are almost the same as subject pronouns. The only difference is that yo changes to  and  changes to ti.

Use the preposition a with one of these pronouns and a verb like gustar to add emphasis or to clarify to whom a verb is referring.

Me gusta comer → A mí me gusta comer.
A Juan le gusta comer. → Juan likes to eat.

When you use the preposition con with the pronouns  or ti, they combine to form a new word.

con + mí →  conmigo (with me)
con + ti →  contigo (with you)
