Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Ir is an irregular verb meaning 'to go, going'.
- Its singular forms are: 'voy' ('I go'), 'vas' ('you go') and 'va' ('she, he, it goes').
- Spanish closed (yes/no) questions use the same words in the same order as Spanish statements.
- To make a statement into a spoken Spanish, use raised intonation.
- To make a statement into a written question use two question marks; the one at the start is upside down.
Common misconception
I need Spanish words for 'do' and 'are' to ask yes/no questions, just like in English, e.g. 'Do you go to town?', 'Are you going to the park?'.
Spanish yes/no questions use the same words in the same order as Spanish statements. To make a statement into a spoken question, use raised intonation. Written questions use two question marks; the one at the start is upside down.
