Irse
In Spanish, irse is also used to express movement. However, ‘irse’ conveys that a person is leaving or departing from a point of origin which is a place where the subject is located at the moment of the sentence. This verb is the direct translation of ‘to leave’, ‘to depart’ or ‘to go away’. In some instances, it can also be translated as ‘to go’ as long as we’re implying that a person is leaving a place.
