When is the letter "A" used in front of a verb

 Me temo que Cristina no podrá ir hoy al trabajo ...

Is there a lesson to understand when the Spanish use an article - eg desde el surf hasta la escalada, and when they don't - eg conquistando repos nuevos

For the question:

¡________ me has traído! ¡Qué lugar más espectacular!

The English translation that is given is:

Where have you brought me! What an amazing place!

It seems that the English is a bit ambiguous because it is phrased as a question but there is an exclamation mark rather than a questions so I don't know whether the original question in Spanish is intended to be a statement or a question.

 In sentence 1 why is the verb "dar" which I thought means to give used instead of "ir"? 

 In sentence 2 I see Cuenco means basin. Is it being used to somehow mean since a young age? 

  In sentence 2, "19" is spoken with an "f" sound in it when I was expecting a "c" sound. . Is it a dialect, am I hearing it wrong, or am I wrong that 19 is "dieinueve"? 

Thanks.

So when we say we 'wonder' in english we are also saying that we 'speculate'? 

And how does that indicate the future when we are currently speculating? How does speculation imply the future? Is it that some result could eventually be revealed?

I see now, helps to write it out.

Tu tienes should be correct as it refers to you.     Tiene refers to he/she
