Incynergy Study Guide: Preposition A in Spanish (Translated into English)

One of the hardest part of any language is to learn which preposition to use with which expression or phrase. At times, there is an exact translation of a phrase or expression introduced by a preposition from one language to another; however, those cases are few and far between. Most of the time, the preposition used in one language is generally NOT the same one used in the other.
