Question

"Estoy listo para ir a trabajar" Did I say that correctly

Answer 1

Sometimes it's helpful to search for words on Google, to find out the contexts in which people are using them. When I typed ir a trabajar, it started listing all the different countries: a estados unidos, a australia, etc. So apparently, ir a trabajar is used for "going off (to some other place) to work," as opposed to "going to work" (at your normal office).

So you think my sentence is corrret - Sc89, Sep 25, 2014

Hello Sc 89

Welcome to the SpanishDict forum.

You asked:

"Estoy listo para ir a trabajar" Did I say that correctly?

(A question mark is necessary here, at the end of a sentence, please! We are a teaching site and people are learning from our example, so please always use correct punctuation! Thank you!)

You can say Estoy listo para trabajar or Estoy listo para ir a mi trabajo,

This uses the construction Estoy listo para + infinitive.

I don't think that the construction you have given is quite/completely right but I am not 100% sure.

Here are some examples of the construction I have given you:

1 Estoy listo para ir de compras, ahora = I am ready to go shopping now.

2 Estoy Listo para salir de casa = I am ready to leave the hoouse

3 ¿Estás listo para escucharme, ahora? = Are you ready to listen to me, now?

4.Estamos listo para cenar = We are ready to dine/have dinner

5 Están listo para bailar = They are ready to dance.

I hope this helps

Answer 3

I've seen:

Estoy listo para ir a mi trabajo

But not sure whether you can use the infinitive here.
