Here are two very simple constructions which
will give your Spanish ‘wings’. One will get
you talking about the future & the other about
what someone is doING right now!
First the ‘future’ construction. This is such a
simple way of talking about the future, to say
‘I’m going to …………………………..’
When I was first learning Spanish, I thought
that my Spanish teacher must be teaching us
to ‘cheat’ a bit, because this was so easy!! But
then a few days later I heard some Spanish
neighbours using this construction & I realised
that the Spanish use it too!
First you need to know the verb IR – to go
IR – TO GO
VOY
VAS
VA

I go
you go
he/she goes

VAMOS
VÁIS
VAN

we go
you all go
they go

When you know that, you just add ‘a’ & the full form (infinitive) of the
verb that describes what you are going to do.
