I was wondering if anyone here could tell me how to form questions properly using the expression "tener" + "que" + infinitive.
I would like to learn how to say such a question as: "Why does Sergio and I have to go to the store?
My guess is: ¿Por qué tenemos Sergio y yo que ir a la tienda? but that doesn't sound quite right. Is the only option here something like: ¿Por qué tenemos que ir Sergio y yo?
¡Gracias por la ayuda!
You would not put a name in between "tener" and "que" (*¿Por qué tenemos Sergio y yo que ir a la tienda?) but it is possible to say:
¿Por qué tenemos que ir a la tienda Sergio y yo?
¿Por qué Sergio y yo tenemos que ir a la tienda?
¿Por qué tenemos que ir a la tienda?
Sono di continuo a caccia di parole. Descriverei il processo così: Ogni giorno entro in un bosco con un cestino in mano. Trovo le parole tutt'attorno: sugli alberi, nei cespugli, per terra (in realtà: per la strada, durante la conversazioni, mentre leggo). Ne raccolgo quante più possibile. -Jhumpa Lahiri
