Tijo:
Thank you very much. I’ve got a question for this phrase, “Lo siento, pero tendrá que pagar exceso de equipaje.” Literally, it means, I’m sorry, but you will have to pay excess baggage. Shouldn’t there be a ‘por’ or ‘para’ in between?
David Carmona:
@Tijo “Pagar” does not always require a preposition after it. As a transitive verb, it can be followed by a direct object without a preposition. In the example sentence, you may choose to add a preposition or not. It would change the syntax of the sentence, but not the meaning, and both options are correct.
