In Spanish, a prepositional pronoun (object pronoun) is used instead of the name of a person, animal or a thing. The subject pronoun is always followed by a preposition. Prepositional pronouns (pronombres preposicionales) are similar to the subject pronouns, except, that prepositional pronouns follow a preposition such as a, de, para or con.
| Singular | Prepositional Pr. | Plural | Prep. Pr. |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yo | mí (me) | Nosotros/nosotras | nosotros/nosotras (us) |
| Tú | ti (you) | Vosotros/vosotras | vosotros/vosotras |
| Usted | usted (you) | Ustedes | ustedes |
| Él | él (him) | Ellos/ellas | ellos/ellas (them) |
| Ella | ella (her) | ||
| Yourself, himself, herself, itself | sí |
Important:
Mí, ti and sí are different from the singular subject pronouns. Mí and sí have accent marks.
Spanish Mí / Ti / Sí + the Preposition ‘Con’ (with)
- Conmigo – With me
- ¿Vienes al cine conmigo?
- Contigo – With you (fam.)
- Quiero ir al cine contigo.
- Consigo– With you (fam./ formal), with him (self), with her (self), with them (selves)
- Ella se llevo el dinero consigo.
Subject Pronouns with Spanish Para
| Singular Form | Plural Form |
|---|---|
| para mí – for me, or myself | para nosotros (nosotras) – for us, for ourselves |
| para ti – for you, for yourself | para vosotros (vosotras) – for you, for yourselves |
| para usted – for you (formal) | para ustedes – for you (formal plural) |
| para él – for him, for it | para ellos – for them |
| para ella – for her, for it | para ellas – for them |
