- Its singular forms are: 'voy' ('I go'), 'vas' ('you go') and 'va' ('she, he, it goes').

Keywords
Ir - irregular verb meaning 'to go, going'
Vas - verb meaning 'you go', part of the verb 'ir'
Closed question - question that can be answered with yes/no
Intonation - rise and fall of the voice in speaking; how to ask closed, yes/no questions in Spanish
Common misconception
I need Spanish words for 'do' and 'are' to ask yes/no questions, just like in English, e.g. 'Do you go to town?', 'Are you going to the park?'.
Spanish yes/no questions use the same words in the same order as Spanish statements. To make a statement into a spoken question, use raised intonation. Written questions use two question marks; the one at the start is upside down.
