Learning the grammar of pronouns in Spanish is not very complicated as they follow a structure similar to the pronouns in English. The tricky part, at least for English speakers, might be remembering which pronouns to use.<\/p>\n
The subject pronouns and prepositional pronouns are identical with the exception of the first-person singular and informal second-person singular forms.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As you can probably guess, prepositional pronouns are those that come after prepositions. In a sentence as “Tengo un regalo para \u00e9l (I have a present for him), \u201cpara\u201d (for) is the preposition and \u201c\u00e9l\u201d (him) is the prepositional pronoun.<\/p>\n

Este pa\u00eds pertenece a ellos (This country belongs to them)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the third person, sometimes you can find the pronoun \u201cs\u00ed\u201d. This is a special situation an it is used when the subject and the object pronouns refer to the same person. Also, it can be followed by \u201cmismo\u201d, \u201cmisma\u201d. It can understood as: pronoun + self (myself, yourself, themselves\u2026etc).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00c9l se cuida a s\u00ed mismo perfectamente (He take care of himself perfectly)<\/p>\n Ella se quiere a s\u00ed misma (She loves herself)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n After some prepositions and adverbs you should say \u201cyo\u201d and \u201ct\u00fa\u201d instead of \u201cm\u00ed\u201d and \u201cti\u201d. In the rest of the person remain the same. For instance:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n -Mi amigo escomoyo (My friend is like me)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n -Seg\u00fan t\u00fa, eso no es verdad (According to you that\u2019s not true)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n -Todos has hecho los deberes menos t\u00fa (Everyone has done the homework except you)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n -Entre t\u00fa y yo podemos hacerlo (You and I together can make it)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The preposition \u201ccon\u201d can work in a special manner when it is next the first and second person singular pronouns:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Con + m\u00ed = conmigo<\/p>\n Example: Ven conmigo (come with me)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Con + ti = contigo<\/p>\n Example: No quiero ir contigo (I don\u2019t want to go with you)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Also, we can find a special case in the reflexive form:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Consigo (mismo \/ misma) = himself \/ herself \/ itself<\/p>\n Example: Tiene un problema consigo misma (She has a problem with herself)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Consigo (mismos \/ mismas)= themselves \/ yourselves<\/p>\n Example: Est\u00e1n enfadados consigo mismos (They are angry with themselves)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The rest of the grammatical persons remain the same.Preposition: hacia<\/h4>\n
