1. IR + A expressions In English, instead of using the Future tense [will / shall] we often use the expression “going to... “ to indicate what someone will do later in the future. Spanish also uses a similar phrase. Remember that “to go” in Spanish is the verb IR. To show that someone is going to do something, you have to conjugate IR to show who is going to do the action; then follow with “a” and finally add the infinitive of the verb indication what is going to be done.
