Is you will ask to a correct grammar?

The fact that questions aren't allowed to have quotation marks renders some of them a little ambiguous. If your actual question was: Is "you will ask to" proper English grammar? the answer is that it's not a complete sentence, but it is a valid sentence fragment. One example sentence is: "You will ask to go to the restroom." It's a perfectly valid English sentence grammatically speaking (though it's a little weird that you're dictating what the person you're speaking to is going to do in the future). If you meant to include the "a" inside the quotation marks, then it's hard to come up with a sample sentence where that could be valid; "You will ask (someone) to a party" is okay, but without the direct object I can't think of any case where that would be proper grammar.
