Using 'a' for the Person

When you say WHO you are informing, you must use the word 'a' before the person, like saying 'to' them: 'Avise a Juan' (Inform Juan).

Using 'de' for the Topic

When you specify WHAT you are informing about, use 'de' (of/about): 'Avísame del cambio' (Let me know of the change). If you use a full sentence, use 'que': 'Avísame que vas a llegar tarde'.

Forgetting 'a' before the person

Mistake:Avise mi madre.

Correction: Avise a mi madre. (Spanish always needs that 'a' before a person when they receive the action.)
