The Verb IR (to go) - Quia

The Verb IR (to go)

April 19th ? May 10th

There are three things you need to remember about this verb:

It is totally irregular. Once you conjugate it, you will not recognize it as "ir" except when it is used in the infinitive form.

This verb always takes a preposition (a, con, sin, para, por, etc.) Although we are using it in the present tense, it always has the connotation of an action that will

be taking place in the near future (equivalent to "I am going to...").

Yo voy (I go)

T? vas (you go)

Ud. va (you go) El va (he goes) Ella va (she goes)

Nosotros/as vamos (we go)

Vosotros/as v?is (you/plural go in Spain only)

Uds.

van (You/plural go in L.A.)

Ellos

van (they/masculine go)

Ellas

van (they/feminine go)

Note: As any other verb in Spanish, Ud./?l/ella and Uds./ellos/ellas share the same verb endings, so you may want to add the pronoun to make the meaning more clear.

A. Ir + a + infinitive is used to talk about what you are going to do:

Ejem:

- Nosotros vamos a correr esta tarde

We are going jogging this afternoon.

-Ellas van a

estudiar espa?ol.

They are going to study Spanish.

-T? vas a

dibujar.

You are going to draw.

-Yo voy a

cocinar

I am going to cook

B. Ir + a + place is used to talk about destination

Ejem:

-Yo voy a

la iglesia con mi novia los domingos.

- I go to church with my girlfriend on Sundays. (by using "los" you are implying "every Sunday")

-Nosotros vamos a la biblioteca despu?s de la clase. -We are going to the library after class.

Note: We only have two contractions in Spanish: A + el = al

De + el = del

Ejem: -Mi familia va al cine los jueves. -El domingo voy al parque con mis amigos.

C. The "nosotros" form of the conjugated verb can also mean: Let's.

Ejem:

?Vamos al cine!

-Let's go to the movies!

?Quieres ir al cine? ?Vamos!

-Do you want to go to the movies? -Let's go!

?V?monos!

-Let us go!!

Note: The preposition with (con) in Spanish changes with the first and second person of the singular (i.e., "yo" and "t?):

We do not say: Vas con "yo" ? but vas "conmigo". We do not say: Voy con "t?" ? but voy "contigo".

It does not change with any other personal pronoun:

Voy con ?l -

I am going with him

Voy con ella -

I am going with her

Voy con Ud. -

I am going with you (formal)

Voy con Uds. -

I am going with you (all of you)

Voy con ellos -
