Spanish Verbs with Prepositions

MOLLY MARTIN, MD
About this episode

Welcome to another lesson covering Spanish Verbs. In this Spanish grammar audio lesson, we practice using common Spanish verbs with prepositions. As with all my audio lessons, I invite you to speak Spanish with me.  This lesson will focus on verbs with prepositions, followed by the infinitive of another verb.  

Table of Contents

  • 1:24 Verbo + A
  • 3:40 Verbo + CON
  • 4:59 Verbo + DE
  • 6:35 Verbo + EN

In this free audio lesson, we practice many of the verbs below.

Member?  In the premium lesson, Spanish Verbs with Prepositions, we practice all the verbs below. The full transcript is included in the show notes, and a quizlet is included to reinforce what you learn. 

Verbo + A

1:24

ACOSTUMBRARSE A

ENSEÑAR A, APRENDER A (To teach / learn)

ATREVERSE A

AYUDAR A

DISPONERSE A.

DECIDIRSE A

INVITAR A

OBLIGAR A

NEGARSE A

RESOLVERSE A

DEJAR DE, PARAR DE (To stop doing something)

ENCARGARSE DE, OCUPARSE DE (To take charge of something)

TRATAR DE

OJO: TRATAR DE is also used to say “to be about.”

Learn the difference between TRATAR DE y TRATARSE DE and why it is probably wrong to say, “El libro se trata de su vida,” at least according to strict grammarians. 😉

Verbo + EN

DUDAR EN

CONSENTIR EN, CONVENIR EN, QUEDAR EN (To agree to do something)

EMPEÑARSE EN

Rellenemos los Huecos

This audio quiz is part of the premium lesson: Spanish Verbs with Prepositions. I read a short story about our cat Schnookies.  As I read, I leave pauses for you to fill in the blanks with the correct preposition. 

Nuestro gato siempre insiste __ salir. Se niega __ quedarse en casa más de cuatro horas por vez. Y si tardamos __ llegar a la puerta para dejarlo salir, se pone __ llorar. ¿Y por qué se empeña __ salir? Porque sueña __ cazar conejitos y pajaritos. Justo después de salir por la puerta se echa __ correr al bosque para cazar. Mi marido, a quien le encantan los pajaritos, se cansa __ ver a nuestro gato cazándolos. Por eso, se esfuerza __ enseñar a nuestro Schnookies __ no cazar los pajaritos. Cuando ve a Schnookies persiguiendo a un pajarito, comienza __ gritar, “¡No! ¡No!” Y amenaza  __ mojarlo con un balde de agua. ¿Qué opinas? ¿Schnookies va a dejar __ cazar pajaritos? ¡Lo dudo mucho!; Schnookies es muy listo pero es un gato, No puedes entrenar a un gato.
