In Spanish, when you have a conjugated verb and a verb in the infinitive ...?

how do you know when to put "a" in between them?

For example, is it correct to say (for "I decided to rest):

Me decidi a descansar.

or

Me decidi descansar.

(Don't mind the spelling, I don't know how to do the accent marks on my keyboard yet).

    Decidí descansar (without the ME) doesn´t need the "a"

    Me decidí a descansar (In this case is correct to use the "a")

    Me decidi a descansar.

    Decidi descansar.

  • A means "to" and as you learn Spanish and hear it (that's the imperative part) you will just know. And its a rule for certain situations that you too will learn when to use it. Its much easier than learning English and the millions of rules!
