The Prepositions: Las Preposiciones

Prepositions
A preposition links nouns, pronouns and phrases to other words in a sentence.
Spanish prepositions are used the same way as English prepositions. However, which preposition to use can sometimes be confusing if you are trying to translate your idea directly from English. For example: en can be translated as: in, on, at, about, by, on top of, inside of.
