‘Con’ means ‘with’ and links the verb to the thing that comes together with the main item.
Indefinite article una

✕Common Mistakes
Viene con una gratis bebida.
‘Gratis’ normally follows the noun; placing it before sounds like a headline, not a natural sentence.

Avoid adding an extra ‘es’; the verb ‘viene’ already conveys the meaning.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries ‘gratis’ is the everyday word for ‘free’, but in formal settings you might hear ‘de cortesía’ (as a courtesy) or ‘sin cargo’. The placement of ‘gratis’ after the noun (bebida gratis) is the most natural order, though you’ll also see ‘gratis bebida’ in advertising slogans.
