Point

¿Cómo se dice..?

"Get to the point." "Ves al grano."

"I'll make a point of making times at the weekend for them to be able to play."
"Me preocuparé de hacer un hueco durante los fines de semana para que juegen."

Yes, ir al grano is the correct expression. "Get" is a command in English. The Spanish expression should also contain a command. "Ves" is not a command form of 'ir'.


asegurarse de hacer algo
encargarse de hacer algo
proponerse de hacer algo
