Getting Around

Hola

Cómo estás?

Ready to continue with your Spanish lessons?

For coming, going, traveling, and wandering, you'll need to add some new verbs of motion to your vocabulary arsenal.

First is the verb ir, ''to go." Again, you will learn how to conjugate this verb and others as we continue working on our lessons in some future blog entries, but here are some useful tips on the verb.

Just like the verbs ser and estar, ir is used in conversation so often that you'll learn it in no time.

IR (TO GO)

Yo voy

Tú vas

Él/ Ella va

Nosotros vamos

Vosotros vais

Ellos/ Ellas van

Ir is a versatile verb that can be used in several ways. For example, ir is the verb you need to indicate your destination:

VOY A MADRID.

(I'M GOING TO MADRID)

SARA VA AL HOTEL.

(SARA GOES TO THE HOTEL)

LOS NIÑOS VAN A IA ESCUELA.

(THE CHILDREN GO TO SCHOOL)

You can also use the verb ir to talk about what you're going to do. Combine the conjugated form of ir with the preposition a (to) and the infinitive form of another verb, and you've got a way to express the future.

VOY A SAL IR A LAS OCHO.

(I'M GOING TO LEAVE AT EIGHT)

JUAN VA A LEER.

(JUAN IS GOING TO READ)

VAMOS A CAMINAR JUNTOS.

(WE ARE GOING TO WALK TOGETHER)

In the classroom

If your Spanish classes are conducted in Spanish, you can use the vocabulary we have learnt on our previous lesson plus some phrases that we are about to learn right now.

It'll help to know some basic phrases as well. Here are a few to get you started:

Cómo se dice"grades''en castellano?

(How do you say grades in Spanish?)

Señor Blanco, puede usted repetir su pregunta, porfavor?

(Mr. Blanco, can you please repeat your question?)

Cuándo tendremos el examen final?

(When are we having the final exam?)

No entiendo cómo conjugar el verbo" ser (Explíquemelo, porfavor).

(I dont know how to conjugate the verb ser. Please explain it to me)

Podemos usar el diccionario durante Ia prueba?

(Can we use the dictionary during the quiz?)

Puedo ir al baño, porfavor?

May I please go to the bathroom?

Fácil

These are just a few helping sentences that you can use in your classroom.  You can also check on your dictionary to find more vocabulary.

The more you use it on your examples, the more you’ll be familiar with it
