'Acertar con' o 'acertar a'

Question

I have just discovered this interesting verb! But in the dictionary it seems to be followed by 'con' or 'a'. What are the rules for this?

Many thanks.

Thanks so much - will have a look as you suggest. - chris-keen, Jun 10, 2013

Answer 1

You will find a good discussion about acertar a and acertar con on the following website. Just cursor down to these words under the definition to "Forum discussions..." and click on either one to read the discussions. Some are totally in Spanish, but they are helpful.
