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.
