Grammar Rules & Patterns
The Verb 'ir' (yo/tú)
Yo voy (I go) / Tú vas (You go)
The verb 'ir' (to go) is irregular. To say where you are going, always use 'voy'. To ask a friend where they are going, use 'vas'.
The Contraction 'al'
a + el = al
When you are going 'to a' masculine place (like 'el parque'), the words 'a' and 'el' squish together to become 'al'. You never say 'a el'.
Using 'a la'
a + la = a la
When you are going 'to a' feminine place (like 'la escuela'), the words 'a' and 'la' stay separate. They do not squish together.
