But pronouns have a different form when they come after prepositions like: “a” (to) “de” (of, from, about) “con”(with) “en” (in, on, at) Subject With gustar After Prep. English Yo me mi I Tu te ti You Usted le usted (Formal) You El/Ella el/ella He/She Nosotros nos nosotros We Ustedes les ustedes (Plural) You Ellos/Ellas ellos/ellas They/Them
