Las preposiciones son una pesadilla para la mayoría de estudiantes de español.  Por eso en este episodio quiero hacer las cosas un poco más sencillas hablándote de unos verbos que siempre van seguidos de una preposición, en especial de la preposición “de”.

Si es un tema que te interesa y quieres aprender otros verbos que van seguidos de preposición, no solo la preposición “de”, puedes conseguir el pdf aquí. https://blancadelatorre.kartra.com/page/lTI227 
Después de escuchar este episodio deja un comentario o visita mi Instagram para decirme si te ha gustado el episodio y si conoces otros verbos que necesitan preposición.
