Embarrassingly easy problem (part 2)

Question

1) Some pronouns change after prepositions. Yo becomes mí, and tu becomes tí.
Is there a "Formal" and "Casual" way to say either of these changed pronouns?

2) In the sentence, "Grité y grité pero la persona no hablió con mi", the part hablió con mi are incorrect. Is it just the hablió part, or are all 3 words incorrect?

Gracias

This is for a paragraph that I am trying to correct. It isn't technically homework, but it is required for my Spanish class. I guess that would be homework then... - 00ffada9, Jan 31, 2014

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure that it would become hablió conmigo. Whenever you have to say with me, con me becomes conmigo.

I think you're right! I was thinking this was the problem, and then I totally forgot it! Hence the title of this question ;) - 00ffada9, Jan 31, 2014

Actually, I think it's "habló", since this is "el/ella/ud." - 00ffada9, Jan 31, 2014

Answer 2

I doubt anyone is going to help you because there is a strict, unwritten rule about doing other's homework and allowing a person to figure it out on their own. I will drop hints.

1)You are correct as far as yo becomes mí and tu becomes ti after a preposition. Ti is familiar.... So what are the formal personal pronouns for you(3rd person singular, 2nd person plural used in Spain/3rd person plural used in most of Latin America)? There is an exception when the preposition con is followed by mí, ti or su. Look up the grammar rule to find part of the answer to question 2.

2)In that sentence, all 3 words are wrong. Try to figure out why........

Actually, it's not an unwritten rule. It's actually written in the "Rules" section. And I am simply trying to figure this out, not cheat on homework. The Spanish part of my brain has shut down today :) - 00ffada9, Jan 31, 2014
