Articles in Front of Prespositions

Question

I know that you can sometimes use an article "la, el, lo" in front of "de", i.e. lo de, la de, el de. I want to know if that is something you can do with all prepositions where it might apply, or is exclusively a de thing. Example: Can I say, "Me gusta (más) el jardin con las manzanas mejor que el con las naranjas." Or does it just look and sound really weird?

If you want to say 'the one' instead of just 'the' it should work just fine :) - Kiwi-Girl, Feb 11, 2012

Answer 1

I think it would work in your sample sentence if you added más.

Me gusta más .....mejor que el ....
