Answer 1

Hi , actually the words voy , va , vas ,...etc are all the conjugations of the verb íR = to go which you can find here ír and here ir

those two link have lots of Examples on them read them they may help you

Answer 2

It all depends on the context of what you want to say for instance if you are just taking your leave you use the verb in intransative form Irse, e.g. Me voy hasta luego. I'm going see you later.

Ken, 'ir' is always intrasitive. - lazarus1907, Oct 5, 2010

Ie. (I think) it doesn't take an object, just a subject :) - Kiwi-Girl, Oct 5, 2010

How do you mean? You don't always use the personal pronoun like me voy, voy a ir al cine, voy a hacer mis deberes etc. - kenwilliams, Oct 5, 2010

Or am I getting intransative mixed up with reflexive? if so what's the difference? - kenwilliams, Oct 5, 2010

Answer 3

Yes, there is a rule. The verb Ir, like all other verbs, are conjugated according to the possible subject pronouns just as we do in English.

verb ending or form used according to subject pronoun

1st person singular I (yo)

1st person plural we (nosotr@s)

2nd person singular you (tú, vos)

2nd person plural (vostr@s,ustedes)

3rd person singular you/he/she/it (usted/él, ella)

3rd person plural (ustedes, ell@s)

What the actual ending or verb form will be varies according to the conjugation (ar, er, ir) of the verb as well as the verb tense and mood.

Answer 4

Hey, welcome to the forum, if you are not talking about going to do, I mean the future meaning, it's just like it is in English.

Voy a la escuela.

¿Vamos al cine?

etc.
