In this Spanish lesson we are going to learn Spanish prepositions with verbs of movement such as Ir + a, Llegar + de and Venir + a. A Spanish preposition is a word that links nouns, pronouns and phrases to other words in a sentence and usually indicates the temporal, spatial or logical relationship of its object to the rest of the sentence. Spanish verbs of movement are Spanish verbs that convey movement such as el verbo Ir which means To go in Engish, el verbo Llegar which means To arrive in English and el verbo Venir which means To come in English. Prepositions, in my opinion, are one are the trickiest things to use correctly in any language. They are such little words, but they are words that are used all of the time and are absolutely essential to the sentence. Often Spanish students focus all their time and energy initially on vocabulary, verbs and key grammar concepts and ignore the finer details. I think it is probably best to devote more time to vocabulary, verbs and key grammar concepts, but definitely not to forget the other aspects completely. Now is a great moment for you to push your Spanish to the next level and start speaking and writing Spanish really well!
