The Spanish Preposition - Part 2

The Spanish Preposition

One word should not be used in Spanish governed by two different prepositions, as:

He is an admirer of and a contributor to the "Times": Es admirador del "Times" y colabora en ese periódico.

The man I spoke with and wrote to: El hombre con quien hablé y al cual escribí.

However, we find the same construction as in English in cases of antithesis, as:

Con ó sin él: With or without him.

El billete cuesta 20 pesetas desde ó hasta Madrid: The ticket is 20 ptas. from or to Madrid.
