To talk about what will happen in Spanish, we use the verb "ir" with a simple pattern called "ir a + infinitive." This helps us say what someone is going to do soon.

Important Grammar Points

1. How to Conjugate "Ir"

   • Here’s how "ir" looks in the present tense:
     • Yo voy (I go)
     • Tú vas (You go)
     • Él/Ella/Usted va (He/She/You formal go)
     • Nosotros vamos (We go)
     • Vosotros vais (You all go - this is mostly used in Spain)
     • Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes van (They/You all go)

2. Using "Ir" for Future Actions

   • The formula is: "ir a + infinitive"
   • For example:
     • Yo voy a estudiar (I am going to study).
     • Ellos van a viajar (They are going to travel).

3. Making Negative Sentences

   • To say something isn’t going to happen, put "no" right before the verb.
   • For example:
     • Yo no voy a comer (I am not going to eat).

4. Using Reflexive and Regular Verbs

   • When using reflexive verbs, remember to change "ir" and add the reflexive words too.
   • Example:
     • Yo me voy a levantar (I am going to get up).

5. Subject Pronouns

   • Subject pronouns show who is doing the action:
     • Yo (I), Tú (You), Él (He), Ella (She), Nosotros (We).
