'al' is a conjugation of 'a el' (i.e. a + el = al). You can use 'al' when the noun is masculine.

It sounds "funky" if we say '¿Tus amigos juegan a el fútbol?' when we can say 'Tus amigos juegan al fútbol?'

Hopefully, this makes a little more sense!

If you are going to give corrections in Spanish then we would need your English/Spanish language levels thanks mate. - ray76, Mar 9, 2017
It's N O T a conjugation. It's a contraction. If you are going to give proper answers, you need to learn the proper terms. - Daniela2041, Mar 9, 2017
