I have another question about a Spanish sentence. This one I'm not
even
sure how it translates at all. Here it is:
"Algunas veces van a comer a un restaurante mexicano o cubano."
"Alguna" shows as "some" or "any" as singular in the definitions in the
back
of the book. I cannot find "veces" and "van" in the back or in my
dictionary.
I just thought of something, but I'm at work without all my reference
books.
Is van the third person plural for "ir," "to go?" And "veces" I'm at a
total loss
on.
My guess is that it translates something like: "Sometimes they go to
eat at
a Mexican or Cuban restaurant."
Another question. Sometimes I notice they add the word "a" in front of
the
infinitive form of a verb. Translating "a" as "to," it seems redundant
to the
already implied "to" in the infinitive form. It seems to be used
sometimes
and not others and I can't establish a pattern. Any enlightenment you
could
shed on this would be appreciated.
Thank you, Michael
