Prepositions are small words with a big impact in every language. These words form the connections and relations between different objects in a sentence. Spanish prepositions do not take on masculine and feminine or singular and plural. They will always have the same form. Prepositions can be single (formed by only one word) or complex (formed by more than one word).
Since sometimes they can cause a few problems, let’s take a look at some of the most used prepositions.
