Ir+a+infinitive

Question

How do you use ir+a+infinitive?

Answer 1

It's one way to express the future tense: ir + a + infinitive = to be going to do something

Voy a leer un libro = I am going to read a book
Vas a aprender español = You are going to learn Spanish

Answer 2

You simply need to conjugate the verb "ir" according to the subject of the sentence (yo, el, nosotros, etc.) then add "a" and the infinitive of your choice.

Voy a limpiar./ I am going to clean.

Vas a comer./ You are going to eat.

Van a dormir./ They are going to sleep.

Answer 3

to be more specific it is used to express the simple future tense, saying what is going to happen. you conjugate ir in the present tense add a and the verb you want to use in the infinitive

eg: cantar meaning to sing

          **yo voy a cantar**
