# 4 Making suggestions

To make suggestions the following expressions are used, all followed by the verb in the infinitive.

##

¿Te apetece ir al cine? | Do you fancy going to the cinema?
¿Te gustaría ir a la fiesta de aniversario de mis padres? | Would you like to go to my parents’ anniversary party?
¿Quieres ir al museo? | Do you want to go to the museum?

Another way of making a suggestion is by using the first person plural to include both the speaker and the other person.

##

¿Vamos a la playa? | Shall we go to the beach?
