Questions & Answers about Yo voy a la discoteca contigo el sábado.

Why is it contigo instead of con tú?
In Spanish, when you combine con (with) and the pronoun tú (informal you), they merge into a single special word: contigo. It is an irregular form, just like conmigo (with me). You will never say con tú.
Why is there an a after voy?
The verb ir (to go) is almost always followed by the preposition a (to) when you are heading to a destination. So, voy a means "I am going to" la discoteca.
Why does it say el sábado? Shouldn't there be a word for "on"?
In Spanish, you do not use a literal word for "on" with days of the week. Instead, you just use the definite article el (the). So, el sábado translates to "on Saturday".
Is it okay to drop the Yo at the beginning of the sentence?
Absolutely! Because voy can only mean "I am going", the word yo is completely optional. Spanish speakers frequently drop it unless they want to emphasize that I am the one going.
