Answer Question
When does "a" need to precede an infinitive?
The infinitive for some words is typically indicated by ending in "-ar". Thus "TO speak" is "hablAR."
But it seems in some situations, you need to add the "a" for "to" even in the infinitive form. Thus a flashcard indicates "I learned TO SPEAK French" is best translated as "Yo aprendí A hablar francés." What is the rule for when to add "a" (for "to") when using the infinitive (which in other situations INCLUDES the "to")?
