Puedo decir "en nos"??

Question

Gracias por pensar en nos, or, Gracias por pensar en nosotros. Which is correct and why?

Answer 1

In this case it is "nosotros", because that is the proper pronoun to use when it is the object of a preposition.

"nos" is used when it is a direct or an indirect object.

"nosotros" is also used when it is a subject pronoun

"en" is a preposition.

When the pronoun acts as the object of a preposition, a different set of pronouns is used.

Subject Pronouns and Object of Preposition Pronouns

yo........ mí

tú.......... ti

él........ él

ella....... ella

usted......... usted

nosotros/as....... nosotros/as

vosotros/as........ vosotros/as

ellos/as............ ellos/as

ustedes.......... ustedes

Note that only the first two actually are different.

Don't forget that in the appropriate circumstances with "con" you have to use conmigo, contigo, or consigo.

Thanks, somewhere along the line I missed the fact that there were specific pronouns for prepositions...l - mcdunc, Mar 31, 2014

Answer 2

"Puedes pensar en nos" se podría decir hablando castellano antiguo, pero hoy en dia es nosotros, como dice bosquederoble

Gracias por la información sobre la historia de la lengua. :) - bosquederoble, Mar 30, 2014

Answer 3

Yes I agree with bosquederoble .. in this case the pronoun is an object of the preposition en so u cant use a direct object or indirect object pronoun nos ,, instead u need to use a prepositional pronoun nosotros

Answer 4

We like this and it is pleasing to us.

Nos gusta este y es agradable para nosotros.
