Prepositional Object Constructions

Prepositional Object Constructions is a syntactic construction in Spanish grammar wherein a prepositional phrase functions as the complement of a verb, typically introduced by a preposition such as *a* and often encoding affected or animate direct objects, thereby distinguishing it from canonical nominal direct objects by its overt prepositional marking and discourse-pragmatic specificity.
