Question

Fill in the blank with the correct answer.

Estamos pensando __________ tí, mejórate pronto!

Answer

The correct preposition to use in this case is "en." The verb "pensar" can take many prepositions after it, each one affecting the meaning slightly. With "en" afterwards it means "about." Both "de" and "sobre" are used when "pensar" means "to have an opinion" about something. Both "con" and "a" are incorrect.
