A question about "a."

In learning the verbs we learn that "dormir" means: to sleep. So do we take that "to sleep" literally and say, "voy dormir?" Or would you say "voy a dormir?" Thanks in advance.

You would say "voy a dromir". "Ir a" is "to go to". Verbs of motion use "a + inf.".

Is there a reason for this, or is that just the way it is? I feel like I haven't been told a rule about when a needs to be incorporated - brainlady, Jun 2, 2011
I'm sure that someone can give you a more detailed explanation, but some things you just have to commit to memory. - pescador1, Jun 2, 2011
