Questions & Answers about Nosotros volvemos a dormir en el hotel.
The lesson is about 'o to ue' stem changes, so why is it volvemos and not vuelvemos?
Since dormir is also an 'o to ue' verb, why isn't it changing here?
Why do we need the word a between volvemos and dormir?
Verbs of motion or direction (like going, coming, or returning) usually require the preposition a before a following infinitive verb. So, volver a dormir translates to 'to return to sleep'. As a fun bonus, the phrase volver a followed by an action can also mean to do that action again (e.g., 'we sleep again').
Why use en for 'in the hotel' instead of a?
