To use simple words like "en," "a," and "con" in Spanish, it's important to understand what they mean and how to use them in sentences. Here’s an easy guide to help you with these words:

1. Understanding Simple Prepositions

• En: This means "in" or "on." It tells us where something is.
  • Example: "El libro está en la mesa." (The book is on the table.)
• A: This means "to." It shows movement toward a place.
  • Example: "Voy a la escuela." (I’m going to school.)
• Con: This means "with." It shows that you are together with someone or something.
  • Example: "Estudio con mis amigos." (I study with my friends.)

2. Present Tense Verb Conjugation

When you use these words, the verbs need to fit in the present tense too. Here’s a quick look:

• -ar verbs: like hablar (to speak)
  • Yo hablo (I speak)
• -er verbs: like comer (to eat)
  • Tú comes (You eat)
• -ir verbs: like vivir (to live)
  • Ellos viven (They live)

3. Basic Sentence Structure

In Spanish, the order of sentences is usually subject + verb + object.

Here are examples with prepositions:

• "Yo voy a la tienda." (I am going to the store.)
• "Ella come con su familia." (She eats with her family.)

4. Question Formation

You can also use these words to ask questions.

• "¿Dónde está el libro en la mesa?" (Where is the book on the table?)
• "¿Con quién vas a la fiesta?" (Who are you going to the party with?)

5. Use of Adjectives

Adjectives are describing words, and they need to match the nouns they go with in gender and number.

• "El libro rojo está en la mesa." (The red book is on the table.)
• "Las mesas con sillas son grandes." (The tables with chairs are big.)

6. Negation

To make sentences negative, you can use "no" or "nunca."

• "No voy a la escuela." (I’m not going to school.)
• "Nunca como con mis primos." (I never eat with my cousins.)

Practicing these prepositions in different situations will really help you get better at speaking Spanish!
