What about when to use 'a' between a conjugated and infinitive verb?
For example, when you say "I'm going to go" or "I'm going to see", you use 'a' to act as the 'to': "Voy a ir" or "Voy a ver"
But when you say something like "I would like to see a film", you omit the 'a': "Me gustaria ver una pelicula"... |
"Necesitar" doesn't use a preposition before an infinitive:
"necesito llevar un abrigo...."
One verb that use "que" is
"tener" and there are the expressions
"haber que" and
"dado que" an invariable term that means "given that.."
I don't think these will be a problem for you. As for the preposition "a" and all the rest, I suggest you go to this web page, it gives you a list of all the verbs that use prepositions before an infinitive and before an object.
