Fill in the blank with the correct answer.
Estamos pensando __________ tí, mejórate pronto!
en
de
sobre

con
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.

The verb buscar means “to look for;” therefore, there is no need to add in a Spanish equivalent for the word “for” in this sentence.
