Pronouns after prepositions: mí, ti, conmigo

Explication

After a preposition, Spanish uses a special set of pronouns. Only the first and second person singular change shape: para mí, de ti, sin mí, a ti. Everything else simply reuses the subject pronouns: con él, para nosotros, según ellos. Note that mí takes a written accent (to tell it apart from the possessive mi), while ti never does.

The preposition con fuses with these into single words: conmigo, contigo, and the reflexive consigo (lo trajo consigo). You can't say *con mí or *con ti.

A small set of words behaves differently and takes the subject forms instead: entre, según, excepto, salvo, menos, incluso, hasta (when it means 'even'). So it's entre tú y yo ('between you and me'), según tú, todos menos yo.
