In Spanish, there are two types of verbs: regular and irregular.

Regular verbs follow certain rules when we change them in the present tense.

On the other hand, irregular verbs don’t follow those rules and have their own special forms.

One of the most important irregular verbs is "ir," which means "to go."

Present Tense of "Ir":

Here’s how we change the verb "ir" in the present tense:

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

Important Grammar Points:

1. Changing Regular Verbs:

   • Regular -ar verbs (like "hablar," which means "to speak") change to: -o, -as, -a, -amos, -áis, and -an.
   • Regular -er verbs (like "comer," which means "to eat") change to: -o, -es, -e, -emos, -éis, and -en.
   • Regular -ir verbs (like "vivir," which means "to live") change to: -o, -es, -e, -imos, -ís, and -en.

2. Irregular Verbs:

   • Some other common irregular verbs are ser (to be), estar (to be), and tener (to have). Each one changes in its own way.

3. Talking About Wishes:

   • The subjunctive mood is used for wishes, feelings, and things that aren’t certain. For example, "Espero que tú vayas" means "I hope that you go."

4. Understanding Objects:

   • Direct objects answer "what" or "who." Indirect objects answer "to whom" or "for whom." For example, "Yo te doy el libro" means "I give you the book."

5. Future Plans:

   • To talk about things that will happen, we say "ir a" followed by an action verb. For example, "Voy a comer" means "I am going to eat."
