Spanish Prepositions - A, DE, EN, HACIA, and CON

Spanish Prepositions

In the section on Prepositional Pronouns, you learned that prepositions are connecting words that indicate location as well as placement in time. They include words like about, above, across, after, against, along, around, at, before, behind, below, beneath, beside, between, beyond...” and so on.

You have already become used to using many prepositions in Spanish. The direction words that you learned in the section on The Spanish Verb **estar** (such as _en, entre, detrás, adelante_) were prepositions. Other Spanish prepositions that you have been using without realizing it are **a** and **de**.

It is useful to go back to these prepositions and take a second look, as they can have multiple meanings depending on the context. In this lesson, we’ll look at **a, de, en, hacia** , and **con**. You will hear these words all the time in a variety of contexts. Unfortunately, there is no single meaning in English for any of them.
