Cultural Tip
In most Spanish‑speaking countries, ‘pasar (bien)’ is the go‑to verb for ‘to have fun’. The construction with both indirect and direct object pronouns (te lo) is very common in informal speech, but keep the order ‘te lo’ – swapping them sounds unnatural. Also, note that ‘evento’ can be replaced with more specific words like ‘fiesta’, ‘concierto’ or ‘reunión’ depending on the context.
