Do I need 'a' here?

Come & enjoy a drink, have a chat, meet new friends & practice speaking English.
Venga y disfrute de una copa, charlar, conocer (a) nuevos amigos y practicar el inglés.

I'm 99% sure that I do:hmm:

thank you

So I do need the 'a'?

[chileno]

thank you

So with your version I don't need the 'a'?
Do I need it with mine?

I wanted to contrast what you said in English with what you said in Spanish, they are different.

That "a" would be ok on a similar context but not exactly...

See the difference in my English version of your Spanish version?

@xchic: I think I'd omit it in daily speech, but I guess I'd write it. :thinking:

Chileno underlined a small grammar fault:

Venga a disfrutar de una copa, charlar, etc.

or

Venga y disfrute de una copa, charle, etc.

So all in the subjunctive?

One day I'll get to grips with the subjunctive:banghead:


Thanks:)

OK - now I give up for today - it's obviously NOT a good day



That's what I meant:(

I'm so much better when I just get on with it - if I try to think about what the grammatical term is I start to over think & confuse myself.


I still hate the subjunctive though.

Yo también! Siempre cuando pienso mucho de la gramática me pongo confundido :(

I still hate the subjunctive though.:good:. Te siento :p

@xchic: Verbal tenses are confusing also for native speakers. ;)
I think your sentence needs the same verbal tense because you're making a list of activities for the same person, under the same circunstances. :thinking:
