Yes, it was great. We should do it again.
✕Common Mistakes
Debería hacerlo otra vez.
debería is singular (I/you/he/she should). Use deberíamos for “we should”.
Deberíamos hacérlo otra vez.
The infinitive does not take an accent; it is hacerlo.
Deberíamos hacerlo otra.
“Otra” alone means “another”; you need the fixed expression “otra vez”.
↔Alternatives
Podríamos repetirlo.
We could repeat it.
Sería bueno hacerlo otra vez.
It would be good to do it again.
Hagámoslo otra vez.
Let's do it again.
Cultural Tip
The conditional form (deberíamos) sounds more polite and less forceful than the simple future (deberemos). In most Spanish‑speaking countries the clitic pronoun lo can refer to any previously mentioned activity, so make sure the context is clear. Avoid using “otra” alone; the full phrase “otra vez” is the natural way to say “again”.
