Lección 382 - Posición de las Preposiciones





Generalmente, se colocan delante del sustantivo o del pronombre, excepto en los siguientes casos:

a.) Con el pronombre relativo, cuando va seguido de preposición, ésta puede colocarse en la posición final.

The girls I study with

Pron: (de girls ai estadi uit)

Las muchachas con las que estudio (en lugar de: The girls with whom I study)

b.) En frases interrogativas cuando empiezan por un pronombre interrogativo:

Who were you speaking to?

Pron: (ju uer iu espikin tu?)

¿con quién estabas hablando? (en lugar de: To whom were you speaking?)

LA PREPOSICIÓN Y LA CONTRACCIÓN

La contracción en español, es decir, la fusión de una preposición con el artículo definido (al, del) no existen en inglés. Se traducen siempre por la preposición seguida del artículo definido y separado de ella (al = a el) (del = de el):

Tell it to the chairman

Pron: (tel it tu de chermen)

Dígaselo al presidente
