Ir Conjugation

Hello, everyone! Today we’ll study Ir Conjugation! The verb “Ir” (to go) it’s a irregular verb and it’s one of the verbs you need to know from the very first moment you start study Spanish. So, let’s get started!

How can I learn Ir Conjugation?

Firstly, the best way to learn is to read the conjugation many times and trying to make some sentences with each conjugation (with each grammatical person).

Let’s start with present tense:

Yo voy a la escuela

Tú vas al mercado

Él, Ella o Usted va al trabajo

Nosotros vamos a la fiesta

Ellos, Ellas o Ustedes van al aeropuerto

Here you can see that the difference with other verbs is that the infinitive form “IR” has nothing to do with “Voy” or “Vamos”. This irregularity are also present in other verbal tenses:

	Preterit Imperfect	Preterit Simple
Yo	iba	fui
Tú	ibas	fuiste
Él, Ella o Usted	iba	fue
Nosotros	íbamos	fuimos
Ellos, Ellas, Ustedes	iban	fueron

Ir Regular Conjugations

Luckily, you have two regular conjugations for Ir verb:

	Conditional	Future
Yo	Iría	Iré
Tú	Irías	Irás
Él, Ella o Usted	Iría	Irán
Nosotros	Iríamos	Iremos
Ellos, Ellas o Ustedes	Irían	Irán

“Ir a” as a future tense

Also, the verb Ir works as a future with going to, as in English. So, if you need to express something you will do in the immediate future, you can form this sentence:

Hoy voy a comer a un restaurante italiano

You need to conjugate Ir verb, then add the preposition “a” (“to”) and then the infinitive form of the main verb (the verb that make the sense of the sentence).
