28

To form a sentence using a preposition

  • Start with the noun(s) you are locating. (ex. El baño)

  • Choose the form of Estar that matches your noun(s). (ex. está)

  • Choose an appropriate preposition. (ex. al lado de)

  • End with the second noun(s) you are relating it to. (ex. la cafeteria)

  • Example sentence: El baño está al lado de la cafeteria

29

"De la" vs. "Del"

  • The preposition DE combines with the masculine article "el" to form "del"

  • This is because saying "de el" sounds awkward to a Spanish ear. Combine the two to get a cleaner-sounding del.

  • Por ejemplo: La mochila está debajo del escritorio

  • However, when "de" is followed by the feminine article "la", you can leave it alone.

  • Por ejemplo: La mochila está delante de la puérta.
