using ¨A¨ before an infinitive

using ¨A¨ before an infinitive
 

Hi, often I´ll see short frases like:A ver or,as the title of a book:Español..A descubrirlo. I don't quite understand the reason for the A. agradezco la ayuda!!

Re: using ¨A¨ before an infinitive
 

Grammatically I'm not totally sure about the explanation for this, but it basically means "let's"

a ver - let's see
a descubirlo - let's discover it (let's go discovering) or something similar.

BTW, Bienvenido a los foros!

Is this the "personal A" that they talk about?

Re: using ¨A¨ before an infinitive
 

No, the "personal A" its when the direct object is a person

This case its more like "vamos a ..." ("lets do ...")
(Vamos) a ver - let's see
(vamos )a descubirlo - let's discover it (let's go discovering)
