Hola, my name is Cindy Fernández Nixon and we're going to talk about the verb "Ir",
which means "to go".
So, every time we hear the verb "to go" in Spanish, the way it's conjugated is a little different, so,
Yo voy a la escuela,
tú vas a la escuela,
ellos van a la escuela.
"Yo voy" means "I go",
"ir" becomes "voy".
The Spanish pronouns.
"Yo", which is "I".
"Tú", which is "You" informal.
"Usted", which is "You" formal.
"Él o ella", which is "He or she".
"Nosotros", which is "We".
"Ustedes", which is "You" plural.
"Ellos o ellas", which is "They".
"Ellos", "They" masculine.
"Ellas", "They" feminine.
To conjugate the verb "Ir",
Yo voy a la casa,
tú vas a la casa,
él va a la casa,
nosotros vamos a la casa,
ustedes van a la casa,
ellos van a la casa.
Now, when we want to say we're going somewhere, we use the preposition "a",
which essentially means "to".
So if I say, "I'm going to the house", "Yo voy a la casa".
There's something interesting that happens because "a" "el" we can also combine it
and it becomes "al",
"Yo voy al baño".
"A" "la", it remains "a" "la", "Yo voy a la casa".
Now, when we're going to say we're going to do something, just any type of verb,
we don't need an article, we just say "a" and the verb.
For example, Yo voy a comer,
yo voy a caminar.
Those are two examples where you don't need "la" or "el".
The verb "to go" in the future goes from "yo voy", present tense, to "yo iré".
It's a lot closer to the original word "ir",
but it has different conjugations. Now, if we conjugate the verb "to go" in the future,
Yo iré,
tú irás,
usted irá,
él ó ella irá,
nosotros iremos, ustedes irán,
ellos o ellas irán.
For example, Yo iré a la casa,
tú irás a la casa,
él irá a la casa,
nosotros iremos a la casa,
ustedes irán a la casa,
y ellos irán a la casa.
Now, the way we conjugate the verb "to go” in the past, el verbo "ir" in the past,
it goes from "yo voy", which is present,
to "yo fui". Conjugating the verb "ir" in the past,
Yo fui,
tú fuiste,
usted fue,
él ó ella fue,
nosotros fuimos,
ustedes fueron,
ellos ó ellas fueron.
For example,
Yo fui a la casa,
tú fuiste a la casa,
él fue a la casa,
nosotros fuimos a la casa,
ustedes fueron a la casa,
y ellos fueron a la casa.
When it comes to conjugating verbs, you're going to see that there's going to be
different groups that have the same ending or the same type of conjugations.
For example, the first person "I" is always going to be alone, "Yo voy".
"Tú" is going to be alone as well, "Tú vas".
However "you" in the formal form is grouped together with "él" or "ella".
For example, "Usted va, él va, ella va".
"Nosotros" is left alone, "Nosotros vamos".
"Ustedes" is grouped with "ellos y ellas", for example, "Ustedes van, ellos ó ellas van".
