¿Quieres almorzar juntos? Subject you verb ending “es” = you accent o ver e of quiere i dont know how to accent with this iPad.
That would be informal and Dave posted the formal version. Thanks. I’ll post both.
Or ¿ustedes quieren almorzase juntos?
¿Ustedes quieren almorzar juntos? would also be correct if you were talking to more than one person.
Muy bien. Be sure and spread the word if you like our stuff!
