Prepositions Question

Can someone give me a few of the different uses of the preposition in Spanish vs English. What I mean is sometimes they translate, like " Voy a Madrid en tres dias" English would use "in" in this situation too, other times, they don't. For example " estoy enamorado de ti " We would use "with" rather than "of". Thanks !

Which preposition to use often depends on the verb link

Prepositions follow no logic, whether you are learning Spanish or English. You just have to learn them and there is no help other that a dictionary which will give you examples.

If I say Reúnase conmigo a las 11.30 en la máquina de café don't imagine scalding brown liquid giving you blisters and staining your clothes.
