The verb ir (to go) is irregular in the present

tense. Note that, except for the yo form (voy) and the lack of
a written accent on the vosotros form (vais), the endings are
the same as those for regular present tense ar verbs.

 Ir is often used with the preposition a (to).
If a is followed by the definite article el, they
combine to form the contraction al. If a is
followed by the other definite articles (la,
las, los), there is no contraction.

 The construction ir a + [infinitive] is used to
talk about actions that are going to happen in
the future. It is equivalent to the English to be
going + [infinitive].
