Planes – Plans > The verb 'ir' (to go)


yo él/ella/usted nosotros/nosotras vosotros/vosotras ellos/ellas

If you want to concrete the way of going, you can say:

voy andando voy en coche voy en tren voy en avión
I go by foot I go by car I go by train I go by plane

In order to express the destination with the verb ir you must use the preposition а:

Voy a Madrid - I go to Madrid

In Spanish you can not ir a María. You must use one of the following forms instead:

Voy a ver a María – I am going to see Maria
Voy a casa de María – I am going to visit Maria
