(les) llevo

Hola a todos:

¿Me podrían decir si está bien esta traducción al español, por favor?

What should I bring?=¿Qué (les) llevo?

¿Lo de "les" es opcional?

Gracias

¿Qué llevo/traigo? = What do I bring?

¿Qué les llevo/traigo? = What do I bring (to you/them)

What should I bring? = ¿Qué debiera llevar/traer?



EDIT: se me olvidó poner el verbo traer...

Sincerely yours.

Thank you very much

A few small corrections:

Quote:

I (always) take you.

Let's go. I will take you.

Les llevo al cine.
Te llevo al cine.
Regards

"I always take you (to the movies)=siempre te llevo (al cine)" is something that always happens. "Te llevo al cine" is "I'll take you to the movies" when talking about the future.

I hope this helps

Regards

Yes I go it.

Then I'm well with the sentence, I will take the school today.
I will take the car to the house today for the night.

I always take you with the doctor, why you don't tell Oscar, he takes you this time.

I always thought Spanish was more strict about this usage than English. In English we can say "I'm going to bring the food to your house", but I thought in Spanish you can only use "llevar". You can only "traer" things to where you are, not where you're going to be.

"¿Debería llevar la comida a su casa?"
"Si, tráigala por favor."

Yes, you're right, although you can "llevarte algo contigo": me llevo la comida al trabajo.
