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? |
