Questions & Answers about No puedo ir a la fiesta contigo.
Where is the word for "I" in this sentence?
Why is ir not conjugated?
When you have two verbs working together as a single idea, like "can go" (puedo ir), only the first verb is conjugated. The second verb stays in its dictionary form, which is called the infinitive.
Why do we need the word a before la fiesta?
The verb ir (to go) is almost always followed by the preposition a (to) when you are talking about going to a specific destination.
Why does "with you" translate to contigo instead of con tú?
In Spanish, when you combine con (with) and the informal "you", they merge into the special word contigo. As a bonus, "with me" is conmigo.
