Examples

Confío plenamente en tu juicio.

I fully trust your judgment.

Confío en que todo saldrá bien mañana.

I rely on (I am confident that) everything will go well tomorrow.

Yo confío más en los hechos que en las promesas.

I trust facts more than promises.

Always Needs 'En'

When you trust or rely ON someone or something, you must use the preposition 'en' (in/on). You cannot just say 'Confío tú'; you must say 'Confío en ti' (I trust in you).

The Accent Shift

The verb 'confiar' has an accent over the 'i' in the present tense (confío, confías, confía, confían) which shifts the stress to the 'i' sound, making it a strong, separate syllable.

Missing the Preposition

Mistake: “Yo confío el doctor.”

Correction: Yo confío en el doctor. (You must include 'en' before the object of your trust.)
