01-027 Present Tense – IR (part 1) + place vocabulary

In this video lesson, we’ll be going over the verb ir in the present tense. Ir is an irregular verb. This means that although ‘to go’ is ir, the different forms do not look even close to ‘ir‘.

yo voy,  vas, Él/ella/usted va, nosotros/nosotras vamos, ellos/ellas/ustedes van.

This also includes some vocabulary on places also because we have to use ‘a‘ to mean ‘to’ when we go to a place. It will make more sense in the video! Enjoy.

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions about this lesson, let me know!

  1. Gracias por todos. Pienso que tu tienes un nuevo corta de pelo, no?.
    Tambien, los “flash cards” son moi buen par nosotros.

  2. Hola!
    me gusto пример с “they are going in a VAN”!
    Наконец-то я запомнила склонение этого глагола. Хотя в руском языке глаголы тоже склоняются по лицам, но другой язык…сложно. Например в русском языке глагол ИДТИ(ir):
    я(yo) иду(voy)
    ты(tu) идёшь(vas)
    мы(nosotros,nosotras) идём (vamos)
    вы(vosotros,usted,ustedes) идёте(vais)
    он,она,оно(el,ella,) идёт(va)
    они(ellos,ellas) идут(van).
    кстати(a proposito/by the way), тебе идёт(not VA ,but ajustarse or ser adecuado or valer. I can`t chose the right word about your new hair) 🙂

  3. Hi, I hope you are able to receive this. I was just speaking with my spanish speaking (Mexico and el salvador) friends after studying this lesson and they were telling me that instead of vas or va its vey or veh? please help. It may just be the pronunciation they are familiar with. Thank you for everything

  4. Laurena,
    I can see the confusion and often the native speakers don’t understand what they’re speaking as much to explain it since they learned through hearing and not from a grammar-based approach.. 😉 I’m horrible at explaining English.

    ‘vas’ and ‘ve’ both are the ‘tú’ form of ‘ir’ but they are used for different things.

    ‘vas’ is the form for “you go” (statement and question)
    ‘ve’ is the form for ‘[you] go!’ (command)

    Ex:
    Siempre vas a comer allá los martes. (You always go eat there on Tuesdays)

    ¿Vas a pasar por la tienda después de las clases? (are you going to stop by the store after class?)

    Ve a visitar a tus abuelos más en seguido. ([you] Go visit your grandparents more often.)

    Hope that clarifies!

    -Sr. J

  5. In the last practice sentence of the video, ” I dont go to the pool because I dont like to swim”, why did the sentence end in “nadar”? Shouldn’t it be “nado”, for the Yo form of the verb?

    Gracias 🙂
