### Arranging to meet: **quedar**

In Spain, when you arrange to meet someone you use **quedar**. **¿Quedamos?** is the classic way to suggest it: *shall we meet?* To say who you are meeting, add **con**.

{{item:1185450}}

{{item:1185452}}

Don't mix it up with **quedarse**, *to stay*:

{{item:1185453}}

### Do you feel like it? **apetecer**

**Apetecer** works exactly like **gustar**: the thing you feel like is the subject, and the person goes in front as **me, te, le, nos, os, les**. With a plural thing, the verb is **apetecen**.

| person | one thing | several things |
|---|---|---|
| (a mí) | me apetece | me apetecen |
| (a ti) | te apetece | te apetecen |
| (a él / ella / usted) | le apetece | le apetecen |
| (a nosotros) | nos apetece | nos apetecen |
| (a vosotros) | os apetece | os apetecen |
| (a ellos / ustedes) | les apetece | les apetecen |

{{item:1185464}}

### Plans: **pensar** + infinitive

You know **pensar** as *to think*. Followed by an infinitive it means *to plan to, to intend to*: **pienso ir**, **¿qué piensas hacer?**. Like **ir a** + infinitive it looks ahead, but it stresses what you have in mind.

{{item:1185455}}

{{item:1185457}}

### When?

**Pasado mañana** is *the day after tomorrow* and **la semana que viene** is *next week*. Check your **agenda** (diary) first!

{{item:1185482}}

{{item:1185487}}

{{item:1185470}}

### Saying yes and saying no

To accept, say **¡Vale!**. To say no politely, apologise and give your reason with **es que…** (*it's just that…*). **Me gustaría** (*I would like*) softens a no; learn it as a fixed expression for now. If you can't say yet, answer **depende**.
