Which of these following sentences has the correct spelling?

I want to spin** a night at my friend's



Do you want to spend** the night for my birthday



Ok when someone talks about staying over somewhere it always sounds like they're saying "spin" or if it's past tense "spent", but I know that "spin" means like spinning a wheel, and "spend" means like spending money, dictionary didn't really help so can someone please clear it up for me..10 ptsWhich of these following sentences has the correct spelling?
i want to spend a night at my friend's.

do you want to spend the night for my birthday?



if it is past tense then the spend changes to spent

i have spent the night at my friend's.



hope this helps clear things up a bit. spend as in wanting to spend or stay. also spend as in spending money. and spent is always past tense.
The 'to' in "want to" expect a verb infinitive, which is identical to the present tense of the verb (without the -s ending of course).

This means a past tense such as "spinned" cannot occur at that position.

The confusion was partly compounded by the proximity of the th sound with the d in the lliasoned sequences:



*/spin-d-a nait/

**/spend-the nait/ %26gt; assimilation /spen-the nait/



The two sounds are close enough to appear the same, especially with the vowels in /a/ and /the/ unstressed and identical.



The underlying form would have to be 'spend': the first sentence should be either



"I want to spend a night at my friend's". - on an undetermined night



OR



"I want to spend the night at my friend's". - on a well-determined night, most probably the one when the utterence was said

If you think "to spin" is to have a swell time, the following could also work:



"I want to spin a night at my friend's".



OR



"I want to spin the night at my friend's".
