Prepositional pronouns
Prescribed by the AQA specification.
The short version
Con refuses to sit next to mí and ti
After a preposition only the first two pronouns break rank: mí with a written accent, ti with none at all, because tí does not exist. Then con refuses to stand beside them and fuses into one word: conmigo, contigo, consigo. Only con does this. Every other preposition keeps its distance: sin ti, para mí, de ti.
¿Vienes conmigo?
Entre tú y yo, never entre ti y mí
A short list of prepositions rejects mí and ti and takes the subject pronouns instead: entre, según, excepto, menos, salvo, incluso, and hasta when it means 'even'. So it is entre tú y yo, según tú, todos menos yo. Everywhere else in the language it stays mí and ti, which is why this list is worth learning whole.
Entre tú y yo, no me cae bien.
That's the gist. The full article goes deeper - more examples, the edge cases, the why - and the practice below scores like a vocabulary session and earns the same XP.
