Language Lesson | Prepositions of Location

My students are currently learning the Spanish prepositions that express space relationships, I thought to share them with you here.

These are expressions of location, therefore the phrase = “to be” + preposition of location

estar (conjugated to modify subject) + preposición

cerca de –	close to
lejos de –	far from
encima de –	on top of
debajo de -	below
al lado de –	alongside of
entre –	between, among
delante de –	in front of
detrás de –	behind
a la izquierda de –	to the left of
a la derecha de –	to the right of
al este/ oeste/ norte/ sur de -	to the east/ west/ north/ south of

Note: In Spanish, the pronouns that serve as objects of prepositions are identical in form to the Subject Pronouns, except for mí and ti.

Examples: Subject + to be + preposition + object of the preposition
