Ir means 'to go' and, like English, is used multiple times a day by Spanish speakers across the globe.
There's good news and bad news about it.
The bad news is that ir is completely irregular. I'm sad to say that it will not follow basic conjugation rules and must be memorized.
The good news, though, is that the conjugations are easy and fun to say, so memorizing them is not so horrible.

You all know that I say vamos a lot. In language, there's a core group of words that are commonly used and other words that are hardly ever used - and then thousands in between. We use the verb 'to go' all the time, and today we get to learn it in Spanish. ¡Vamos!
Ir has many everyday uses, including expressing future plans:
Ir a + (infinitivo) = to be going to + (infinitive)
Yo voy a comer pasta esta noche
Vamos a +(infinitivo) = let’s do something
Hoy vamos a aprender el verbo IR

Okay, let's use ir in a story to see how it works in action.
Yo soy Lola, la madre de la familia. Yo voy al supermercado y tú vas conmigo. ?Y Elena? Ella va también. ¡Ahh! Y ustedes dos. ¡Sí! Ustedes van también. ¡Por fin! ¡Vamos al supermercado!
Did you follow the story? Let's look at it again with the English translations.
Yo soy Lola, la madre de la familia. | I'm Lola, the mother of the family. | |
Yo voy al supermercado y tú vas conmigo. | I'm going to the supermarket, and you're going with me. | |
¿Y Elena? Ella va también. | And Elena? She's going, too. | |
¡Ahh! Y ustedes dos. ¡Sí! Ustedes van también. | Oh! And you two. Yes! You guys are going, too. | |
¡Por fin! ¡Vamos al supermercado! | Finally! Let's go to the supermarket! |
Hm... Lola is a little mandona (bossy), isn't she? And yes, vamos means 'we go,' but what else do you think it means, now that you've seen it used so many times? That's right - 'Let's go!' ¡Vamos!

Lesson Summary

4. Vamos can also mean 'Let's go.'
Learning Outcome
