EL VOCABULARIO IMPORTANTE

LA GRAMÁTICA IMPORTANTE

Prepositions:-Prepositions are also used to describe location. Below is a list of some prepositions that are helpful to use when describing the locations of items/furniture in a house.

- a la derecha de (to the right of) -a la izquierda de (to the left of)

-al lado de (next to) - cerca de (close to)

- lejos de (far from) -encima de (on top of)

-arriba de (above) -debajo de (under / below)

Forming Spanish Contractions – “DE + EL”:-When you are telling location, use de (of) after the preposition followed by the definite artlice (el / la / los / las).-When combing DE + EL form the contraction DEL Ejemplos:If you want to say… The bedroom is to the right of the right of the office.You say… El dormitorio está a la derecha de la oficina.If you want to say…The bedroom is next to the bathroom.You say…El dormitorio está al lado del cuarto de baño.*In this sentence a contraction was formed (de + el = del). In Spanish you cannot have 2 e’s (ee) next to each other.
