To talk about future plans in Spanish, we have a simple way to do it. It's called "ir + a + infinitive." This method is easy and super helpful for sharing what we want to do. Let’s break it down!

1. Changing "ir"

First, we need to change the verb "ir," which means "to go," depending on who is doing the action. Here’s how it looks for different people:

• Yo voy (I go)
• Tú vas (You go)
• Él/Ella/Usted va (He/She/You - formal)
• Nosotros/Nosotras vamos (We go)
• Vosotros/Vosotras vais (You all go)
• Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes van (They/You all - formal)

2. Making Sentences

To create a sentence, we combine the right form of "ir" with "a" and the base form of another verb. Here are some examples:

• Yo voy a estudiar (I am going to study).
• Tú vas a comer (You are going to eat).
• Ella va a viajar (She is going to travel).

3. More Examples

Here are even more sentences using "ir + a + infinitive":

• Nosotros vamos a jugar (We are going to play).
• Ellos van a bailar (They are going to dance).
• Ustedes van a ver una película (You all are going to watch a movie).

4. Saying No

If you want to say something isn't going to happen, just add "no" before "ir." For example:

• Yo no voy a trabajar (I am not going to work).
• Tú no vas a estudiar (You are not going to study).

5. Asking Questions

To ask a question, switch the order a little so that the subject comes after the verb:

• ¿Vas a salir? (Are you going to go out?)
• ¿Vamos a cenar? (Are we going to have dinner?)

This structure is really useful for talking about future plans. Give it a try in your daily conversations!
