Spanish prepositions

A preposition in Spanish is a word that links a noun, pronoun or infinitive to other words.

Prepositions are invariable: they do not have masculine or feminine, singular or plural.

Prepositions are words normally placed before nouns or pronouns.

Prepositions can have a variety of meanings: location, movement, time, possession...

- Most common prepositions in Spanish are:

a at, to, on, for	ante before, in front of	bajo under	con with
contra against	de of, from	desde from, since	durante for, during
hacia toward	hasta until, up to	en in	entre between, among
mediante	para for, in order to	por by, for	según according to
sin without	sobre on, about	tras behind

- Some prepositional phrases can function like single word prepositions: enfrente de, cerca de, lejos de, encima de, debajo de, detrás de... called complex prepositions or compound prepositions.

- Many verbs require a preposition before an infinitive. (It is best to learn the verb along with the preposition).

- Some adjectives require a preposition.
