Notes on El verbo Ir=To Go

 





El Verbo Ir=To Go

 

-In Spanish, the verb

Ir needs “a” to say what you are going to do

(in an infinitive form)…

 

It breaks down like this:

Ir+a+infinitive

Like this: Voy a bailar.

 

 

 

-In Spanish, the verb

Ir needs “a la” or “al” to say where you are going.

The one you use, depends on the gender of the “place” to which you are going.

Ex. Voy a la escuela.

                (a la because escuela is feminine)

Storm Day

Many of you have not been able to connect and I am now having problems connecting so this is what we will do. If you are lucky enough to have lights and internet access work on www.StudySpanish.com I have provided the link below. Do a Unique Quiz of 10-15 questions without using vosotros on ser and estar.

Do not worry about Calenton for today or participation grade. I will not penalize for either due to this emergency.

Remind is not working for me so use this time to perfect this skill. Hopefully, we will see each other tomorrow. Be safe!

This will help you to make connections of the English way to use verbs to the Spanish way to use verbs. This lesson is color-coded so when you take notes and/or study, the different parts will stand out and you can see the English and Spanish.
