Q

Uses of Ir

A

Ir is an important verb to learn and memorize because it is used so often and in so many ways. Notice that ir is often used with the preposition ‘a’ to talk about place. Remember that a + el contracts to al.

39
Q

I go to the beach in the summer.

A

Voy a la playa en verano.

40
Q

Use of Ir in the present tense.

A
  1. When talking about cities, states, and countries, use ir + a without the article (with the exception of countries that take the definite article).
  2. When talking about modes of transportation, use ir + en without the article before the type of transportation. When talking about walking however, use ir + a to say go by (or on) foot. As is the case with other verbs, the present tense of ir is often used to express the future. In this case, the present tense of ir would be translated as is/are/am going.
