IR+A+VERB – going to……..

A very simple way of talking about the future, is to say ‘I’m going to……..’ The Spanish do it too!

First you need to know the verb IR – to go

IR – TO GO

When you know that, you just add ‘a’ & the full form (infinitive) of the verb that describes what you are going to do.

IR       +     a     +   FULL FORM OF VERB

So, if I want to say ‘I’m going to swim in the pool’ I say

Voy a nadar en la piscina

Are they going to go to school? –

¿Van a ir al colegio?

& negative – We’re not going to sing a song

No vamos a cantar una canción
