Key learning points
- 'Ir' is a high frequency irregular verb; it is important to learn and remember its singular forms: voy, vas, va.
- 'Vamos' is the 1st person plural form of 'ir' and means 'we go'.
- To say 'to the' in Spanish, we use 'a la' before feminine nouns, and the contraction 'al' for masculine nouns.
Keywords
[r] - pronounced as in 'pero'
[rr] - pronounced as in 'perro'
Vamos - means 'we go'
Al - contraction of 'a + el', means 'to the' and is used for masculine nouns
Common misconception
To say where someone goes, only 'a la/al' goes before the place.
If the place is a city or a country, 'a' goes before the place.
