Conmigo and contigo

- ❌ con ti
Examples:

Come with me.
Quiero hablar contigo.
I want to talk with you.
For other people, use the normal form:
- con él
- con ella
- con nosotros
Mí vs. mi
Do not confuse:
- mí = me, after a preposition
- mi = my
Compare:
Es para mí.
It is for me.

It is my book.
Quick rule
After a preposition, use:
mí, ti, él, ella, nosotros, vosotros, ellos, ellas, usted, ustedes
Remember:
con + mí → conmigo
con + ti → contigo
