Transcript and Presenter's Notes

Title: The prepositions


1
The prepositions AL and DEL
  • The preposition a means to or towards.
  • When used with the article el the contraction
    AL (a el to the ) is formed due to
    the pronunciation. a el sounds like al
    The a is not contracted when used with la,
    los, or las since the sounds do not run
    together.
  • Voy a el laboratorio ? Voy al laboratorio.
  • However,
  • Voy a la escuela.
  • Voy a las tiendas
  • Doy el dinero a los pobres

2
  • The preposition de can mean of, from or
  • about. Like the preposition a it is
    contracted
  • before el to form DEL. De will not change
  • when used before la, los or las.
  • Ana habla del profesor de historia.
  • BUT
  • Ana is de la ciudad de San Francisco.
  • Ana es de los Estados Unidos.
