Using 'a' for People

When you contact a specific person, Spanish often adds a little word 'a' right before their name. For example, 'Contacto a María' (I contact María). This is called the 'personal a' and it's very common.

Using 'con' instead of 'a'

Mistake: “Yo contacto con mi jefe cada día.”

Correction: Yo contacto a mi jefe cada día. While 'contactar con' is sometimes heard, it's more standard and clearer to use 'contactar a' when the one you're contacting is a person.
