IR saying “to go:”

Why is this verb so weird? It is an irregular verb.

How do I change it? It confuses me.

If you look at the forms, they are the endings from ESTAR. All you do is add a “v.”

Look: -oy -amos

-as -ais

-a -an

“Future Words & Phrases” Hoy = today Esta noche = tonight Mañana = tomorrow Este fin de semana = this weekend Este verano = this summer La próxima semana = next week El próximo mes= next month El próximo año= next year El viernes/ El sábado = On Friday/ On

Saturday

The future words are used with a form of Ir (to go) + a before a verb that still ends in “r.” This way we can say whatever we want to say.

I. First make a sample sentence.

I am going to eat ice cream.

Voy a comer el helado.

We are going to study.

Vamos a estudiar.

II. Now add one of the future words or phrases:

I am going to eat ice cream tomorrow.

Voy a comer el helado mañana.

We are going to study tonight.

Vamos a estudiar esta noche.

Let’s recap!

1. Conjugate (change) ir to match the subject.

2. Add an a after the changed form of Ir.

3. Add an infinitive (where the subject is going to or what it is going to do).

voy vamos

vas vais

va van
