One of the greatest skills that comes with advancing your Spanish is being able to talk about opinions. To do so, some verbs with prepositions are common. This means that there are verbs that always use a specific preposition.<\/strong> By learning these, you\u2019ll boost your vocabulary and feel more confident using the subjunctive<\/a> to talk about your personal thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a preposition?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A preposition<\/a> is a very small word that has a lot of value! It shows a direction, location, time, or introduces an object. Some phrases don\u2019t need one,<\/strong> like phrases that have just a verb and a noun. For example, take a look at the following sentence: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"CONVERSA
\u0427\u0438\u0442\u0430\u0442\u044c \u0434\u0430\u043b\u0435\u0435<\/strong>Video: Spanish-English false friends<\/span><\/div><\/a><\/div>

Tengo una manzana<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this sentence, there isn\u2019t a preposition. However, now look at the following sentence: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"CONVERSA
\u0427\u0438\u0442\u0430\u0442\u044c \u0434\u0430\u043b\u0435\u0435<\/strong>Online Activity: Conjugate Spanish Verbs in Present<\/span><\/div><\/a><\/div>

Tengo una caja de<\/strong> manzanas<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, we have the preposition de<\/em> to introduce an object. That\u2019s a very common preposition in Spanish! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s so special about these verbs with prepositions?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many verbs that you have learned throughout your studies don\u2019t require a preposition, and others can use different prepositions, depending on what you\u2019re trying to say. The verbs that we\u2019re about to show you will always have the same preposition, so it\u2019s important to learn them as a phrase.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll notice that the exact translation of the verb and preposition might be different from English, and so they\u2019re commonly misused. Don\u2019t be tempted to use the exact English translation, or else it\u2019ll sound funny in Spanish!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following verbs with prepositions will help you express opinions in Spanish:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Dudar en<\/strong> \u2013 to hesitate to<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Insistir en<\/strong> \u2013 to insist on<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Alegrarse de <\/strong>\u2013 to be happy about<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Since these verbs express opinions, you might recognize them from using the subjunctive. You don\u2019t need to use them in the subjunctive, though. See the following examples that don\u2019t need the subjunctive:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Dudo en recomendar esta tienda.<\/strong> I hesitate to recommend this store.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Insisto en comer antes de salir.<\/strong> I insist on eating before going out.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
