✕Common Mistakes
Aprecio a tu punto de vista.
Do not add the preposition *a* before *tu*; *aprecio* already includes the object.
Aprecio tú punto de vista.
Use the possessive adjective *tu* (no accent). *Tú* with an accent is a subject pronoun.
Aprecio tu punto del vista.
The correct idiom is *punto de vista*; *del* would be a contraction of *de el*, which is ungrammatical here.
