Common misconception
Any conjugated form of 'ir' ('voy', 'vas', 'va') can refer to routines or future events. For example, 'voy al parque' means 'I'm going to the park' or 'I'm going to go to the park'.
We can use 'ir' to talk about routines and to talk about the future, but when referring to future intentions, 'ir' needs to be followed by 'a' + infinitive.
