Key learning points
- The sounds [b] and [v] are pronounced the same in Spanish, as in 'celebrar' and 'ver'.
- The verb 'ir' is irregular and it means 'to go, going'.
- The 1st person singular 'I go' is 'voy'. The 3rd person singular 'she/he goes' is 'va'.
- The preposition 'a' means 'to'. 'To the' before masculine nouns is al (a + el); we use a la for feminine nouns.
Keywords
Ir - irregular verb meaning 'to go, going'
Voy - verb meaning 'I go', part of 'ir'
Va - verb meaning 'she, he, it goes', part of 'ir'
Al - contraction of 'a + el', means ‘to the’ and used for masculine nouns
Common misconception
All nouns ending in 'a' are feminine.
There are exceptions to this, like 'problema' or 'día', that's why it is important to learn the article and the noun together.
