Saying What You Are Going to Do: The Verb ir

In Spanish, when you want to talk about what you are going to do in the future, you may use ir + a + infinitive.  I am going to study = Voy a estudiar.  You are going to read = Vas a leer.  She is going to listen = Va a escuchar.  And so on.  There is another way to talk about the future that you will learn later.

Conjugation of -ER and -IR Verbs in Present Indicative Tense

Remember this?  You have been practicing it since the Etapa Preliminar.  This is the "official" introduction.   Should be a piece of cake for you now.

Regular Present Tense Verbs with Irregular Yo Forms

Verbs like these are regular in every respect except that the yo form has some kind of spelling change in the stem of the verb (the part before the ending).  It is very important to learn these verbs because verb tenses you will learn next year are based on the yo present tense form of the verb.

The Verb OIR - to hear

This verb, like those above also has in irregular yo form.  It also has spelling changes in some of its other forms.
