16. Prepositional Pronouns

Source: video link

Prepositional pronouns are the pronouns used after prepositions like de, en, para, por, a, con. In Spanish they look almost identical to the regular subject pronouns — only mí and ti change form. The preposition con has two special forms: conmigo and contigo.

Key Rules

Use after prepositions (de, en, a, para, por, sobre, sin, etc.).
Only yo → mí and tú → ti change. All others (él, ella, nosotros/as, vosotros/as, ellos/ellas) stay the same as subject pronouns.
mí carries an accent to distinguish it from the possessive mi ("my"). ti has no accent.
After con: con + mí → conmigo, con + ti → contigo. All other pronouns stay normal (con él, con nosotros, con ellos, etc.).
él (with accent) ≠ el (article); after a preposition, "from him" = de él, never del.

Notes & Gotchas

After entre, según, excepto, menos, incluso, salvo, Spanish uses the regular subject pronouns yo / tú instead of mí / ti: entre tú y yo.
Don't confuse de él (from him) with del (from the). The contraction only applies to the article.
Conmigo and contigo have no separate gender or plural forms.
