Understanding and Using Spanish Prepositions Correctly

"de" (of, from): Shows possession, origin, or material.
Example: "El libro de María" (Maria’s book)
"en" (in, on, at): Describes location or state.
Example: "Estoy en casa" (I am at home)
2. Prepositions with Verbs
Many Spanish verbs require specific prepositions for correct usage.
Example: "Soñar con" (to dream of)

3. Prepositions in Phrases
Prepositions are often used in set phrases, which need to be memorized as they often don't translate directly.
Example: "En serio" (Seriously), "Por ejemplo" (For example)
4. Tricky Prepositions
Certain prepositions can be challenging due to similar uses in English but different applications in Spanish.
Example: "Pienso en ti" (I think of you), not "Pienso de ti"
5. Avoiding Common Mistakes
Misusing prepositions is a common error for learners but focusing on their correct use can drastically improve your Spanish.
Example: "Confío en ti" (I trust you), not "Confío a ti"
