when do i use ir and ser

Question

"i went to the game"

someone please translate

Answer 1

ir = to go

ser = to be

Therefore, you will use "ir" in this case.

Because your sentence uses the first person past tense, you will conjugate "ir" to "fui".

Fui al juego/partido.

To add, you can't use ser here 'I was the game!?'. You can use estar, however. Estaba al juego (I was at the game), though that's not exactly what you want. - Helado_eclectico, Jan 25, 2014
