¿Por qué no sales conmigo al bar?

¿Por qué no sales conmigo al bar?
Why don't you go out with me to the bar?
From Lesson 33:With me and with you (conmigo, contigo)·Spanish (Latin America)

Questions & Answers about ¿Por qué no sales conmigo al bar?

Why does this sentence use conmigo instead of con mí for "with me"?
In Spanish, the preposition con (with) combines with the pronoun mí (me) to form the special, single word conmigo. You will never see con mí; it is always conmigo. Similarly, "with you" is contigo instead of con ti.
What verb is sales from?
Sales is the informal "you" (tú) form of the verb salir, which means "to go out" or "to leave." So, no sales translates to "you don't go out" or "you aren't going out."
Why is it al bar and not a el bar?
Whenever the preposition a (to) is followed directly by the masculine word for "the" (el), they must merge to form the contraction al. Since bar is a masculine noun, a el bar becomes al bar (to the bar).
Why is Por qué written as two words with an accent mark?
When written as two separate words with an accent on the é, por qué means "why." This distinguishes it from porque (written as one word with no accent), which means "because."
