Do I need to repeat the "a" here?

A Marcos y a Adriana se les antoja comer una botana.

or here?

A mí y a mi esposo nos gustan los perros.

¡Gracias!

Yes, you need to use the 'a' in both cases.

A Marcos y a Adriana se les antoja comer una botana. If you want to omit the 'a' you could say: Marcos y Adriana tienen antojo de comer una botana.

A mi y a mi esposo nos gustan los perros. (You need two letters 'a' in this one) grin

And if I were dealing with the personal "a", would I still need to repeat the "a"?

e.g. Veo a Marcos y a Juliana cogidos de la mano.

Thanks!
