Question

How To ask someone where are you from and whats your name in spanish?

Is this homework? Why don't you say how you think that it should be said and that way someone can critique it for you. Trust me. You'll learn it better if you give it a try yourself first. - Izanoni1, SEP 2, 2009

Answer 2

Quick follow up question, if you please.

My guess was "¿Dónde eres?" Is there a general rule about why it needs the "de" in the front, or should I just remember that phrase?

¿Dondé eres? means "where are you?". - candrthurley, OCT 12, 2009
