is a phenomenon in Spanish grammar, the omission of a preposition, usually , which, in Standard Spanish, would precede the conjunction (or complementizer) . For example, "" ("I didn't realize you had come"): compare standard "". is frowned upon by prescriptive grammar.

Although the omitted preposition is typically , other prepositions occasionally are also subject to omission by : "" ("I insist that you go"); compare standard "".

Queísmo

may be, in some cases, a hypercorrective reaction to : the insertion of before where it would not appear in standard Spanish, which is considered a much more serious and socially stigmatized mistake, but which is nevertheless widespread in both Peninsular and American Spanish.
