#1 can never be correct - the other 2 could be. - ian-hill, Jun 28, 2011

By the way, in England only the younger generation who have seen tons of US tv programs would say this!

Most adults say "Eat out together", or "Go out to eat together".

1.- Hang out eat. 2.- Hang out to eat. 3.- Hang out eating.

Sentence 1 isn't correct English at all. "Hang out" and "eat" both function as verbs.

Pues es decir: Quédate. Come.

Sentence 3 is also poor English. You could say "I am going to hang out, eating" but it would be very wierd, you would want to say "I am going to stay (here) and eat."

Sentence 2 is better but is still wierd. You don't "hang out (in order) to eat". What you probably mean is "I am going to stay here and eat." You could say, "I am going to hang out and eat" - but that would be pretty slang-y.

So, option 4 would be the best - 4. hang out and eat.

Hi everybody my friends! Hi Friends! or Hi Everybody! or Hi to all my friends!

How is rigth sentence? Which sentence is right?

1.- Hang out eat. 2.- Hang out to eat. 3.- Hang out eating.

Can you tell me for what? Can you tell me which one?

None of them is a sentence because there is no subject. Hang out and eat needs a subject. I want to hang out and eat pizza. They are hanging out and eating. We hung out and ate hamburgers.

Thanks

Hi and Welcome to the forum.

You say you are a beginner at English.

"to hang out" is a phrasal verb and Spanish has very few of these. I don't know any.

It is also has more than one meaning - as most phrasal verbs do.

You need a good dictionary to find the meanings in Spanish.

Like this

hang

hang out v + adv

Your shirt's hanging out. / La camisa te cuelga por detrás.

She always has a cigarette hanging out of her mouth. / Siempre lleva un cigarro colgándole de la boca.

Where does he hang out these days? / ¿Dónde se mete últimamente?

She used to hang out with the Beatles in the sixties. / En los sesenta solía andar con los Beatles.

NOTA En este sentido, hang out siempre va seguido de un complemento:

They're always hanging out in bars. / Who do you hang out with in London?

We've just been hanging out and listening to music. / No hemos hecho nada especial, hemos escuchado un poco de música y tal.

Are you still hanging with those guys? / ¿Todavía vas con esos?
