I am confused why the word "de" is used in the following sentences:
Cristina está al lado de José Ana está felíz de ir de compras con Carlos. Voy de compras los sabados.
Thanks in advance for any clarity you can provide would be much appreciated!

"Al lado de" is a prepositional phrase, you must learn it so.

Learn verbs with their prepositions. Sometimes De = Of in english, A = To. But it depends on concrete verb.
