Questions & Answers about ¿Ustedes van al evento conmigo?
Why is "with me" written as one word (conmigo) instead of con mí?
In Spanish, the preposition con (with) has special, irregular forms when combined with "me" and "you". Instead of saying con mí, you must always combine them into the single word conmigo. (Similarly, "with you" is contigo).
Since van is the "they" form of the verb ir (to go), why does this translate to "Are you all going"?
In Latin American Spanish, the plural "you" is ustedes. Even though it means "you all", it always shares the exact same verb forms as ellos and ellas (they). So, while ellos van means "they go", ustedes van means "you all go".
Why is it al evento? What does al mean here?
al is a required combination of two words: the preposition a (to) and the masculine word for "the", el. In Spanish, whenever a is followed directly by el, they mash together to form al. So, al evento literally means "to the event".
Do I have to include the word ustedes in this sentence?
