Answer 1

Vamos a ir de aquí would probably be better stated as Vámonos. (Let's get out of here) unless you are making a statement [We are going to leave here.] rather than an exhortation.

Ir usually implies a destination while irse implied leaving from somewhere. So ...de aquí... would usually be used with irse (to go from somewhere); not ir (to go to somewhere).

Voy a ir al mercado. (I am going to go TO the market).

Me voy a ir del mercado. (I am going to leave FROM the market).

Answer 2

Gringojr I understand that voy + ir is sometimes referred to as the immediate future. (Yes I admit it isn't a real future tense )

Personally, I wouldn't say sometimes

"voy + ir" is much more common than a "real" future tense. Further, I hear the present tense used for the future all the time, "mañana, me voy". These are two very common ways of referencing the future, at least in casual conversation.

I agree. Although "ir a ir" is a false future tense It is used much more often than the true future tense. Think about how often we use "going to" and you will understand how often it is used in spanish as well. - gringojrf, Jan 9, 2012

Answer 3

Qfreed did a good job with this. Just one more point.

Ir a + verb or sustantivo = is a form of "false future tense" and means "going to ______".

So you would not use this formation unless you were talking about an action in the near future.

Vas a volverme loco. You are going to drive me crazy. Vamos a preparar cena. We are going to prepare dinner. Let us prepare dinner. Voy a cine. I am going to the movie.

So if you want to convey doing something right now just use ir, not "Ir a Ir".

Gringojr I understand that voy + ir is sometimes referred to as the immediate future. (Yes I admit it isn't a real future tense ) - FELIZ77, Jan 6, 2012

Answer 4

This seems like your homework, we won't do that for you on SpanishDict.

If it helps "Vamos" = we're going and "vamos a ir" is we're going to go.

I'm not saying it isn't, but it doesn't seem homework-ish to me. Instead it seems kinda like someone trying to figure out the best way to say "we'd better get out of here" - webdunce, Jan 6, 2012

ah you could be right, sorry - rabbitwho, Jan 6, 2012

Gracias!

Answer 6

Thanks, so I have to say "nos vamos de aqui"? (I'm using irse)

Not necessarily. Other options are acceptable: Mejor vamos a otro lado is fine. Mejor vámonos. Vámonos de aquí. Nos vamos de aquí.... - Gekkosan, Jan 9, 2012
