Description

This unit introduces 'voy', 'vas', 'va', 'vamos'. These forms of 'ir' are combined with 'a' to mean to go to. Pupils learn that 'a' and 'el' combine to make 'al' and contrast this with 'a la'. Pupils learn they can use a present tense form of 'ir' with 'a' and an infinitive expresses the future.

In this unit, pupils learn 'voy', 'vas', 'va', and 'vamos' from 'ir' meaning 'to go'. They learn they can combine these forms with 'a' and an infinitive to express the future. In other units, pupils will learn other forms of the verb 'ir', and other ways to express the future. Pupils learn that 'a' works in a similar way to 'de' and can be combined with 'el' to form 'al', which is contrasted with 'a la'.
