This is due by midnight online, and I think I have the right answers but the computer is telling me I'm wrong. We are doing present tense of ir verbs. What am I doing wrong?:

Don Francisco wants to make sure he knows about everything that is going on. Answer his questions in complete sentences using the words in parentheses. Follow the model.

model: ¿Adónde van Maite y Álex? (el parque) Maite y Álex van al parque.

1 ¿Adónde van Inés y Javier? (pasear por la ciudad)

my answer: Inés y Javier van pasear por la ciudad.

2 ¿Cuándo van a correr los chicos? (noche)

my answer: Van correr en las noche.

4 ¿Cuándo van a ir a las cabañas? (cuatro)

my answer: Van las cabañas a la cuatro.

5 ¿Qué va a hacer Maite en el parque? (escribir postales)

my answer: Maite va escribir postales en el parque.

6 ¿Qué va a hacer Álex en el parque? (tomar el sol)

my answer: Álex va tomar el sol en el parque.

Interesting that you mention that you are studying the present tense (of ir verbs) because the ir+a+infinitive perifrasis actually refers to a future action. You are correct that the verb ir is present tense, however.

....van por la ciudad .. ( *they are going to stroll through the city.) Actally this question is different from the others. It asks where they are going (around the city); not what are they going to do (walk around the city).
....van a correr... (they are going to run) las noches.
...van a ir... a las cuatro. ( they are going to go) [horas..at four o'clock..except for one o'clock times are always plural]
...va a escribir... (Maite is going to write)
...va a tomar... (Alex is going to sunbathe)

Thanks! That was a big help. Haha, yeah sorry you're right. It's not present tense. I'm just used to saying that because most of the verbs we have studied refer to the present tense.
