English. Preposition

Vivo en Málaga con unos amigos desde septiembre

A preposition generally, but not always, goes before its noun or pronoun. However, the preposition sometimes links the verb with its object. In this case the verb goes before the preposition and the meaning can change

Mírame

Cuídame

If the verb goes after the preposition we have to add –ING, that’s the gerund form

Por favor, recógeme antes de ir a la playa

Generally, prepositions go before the noun that they go with

La panadería está detrás de la escuela

But there are exceptions where the preposition goes at the end of the sentence

La chica con la que estaba viviendo

With interrogative sentences that start with an interrogative pronoun

¿Para quién es este ordenador portátil?

Prepositions that go with the relative ‘that’
