Ir + A (Future) — Answer Key

Practice

1. a Explanation: The structure is "ir + a + infinitive." The preposition "a" is required. "Voy a estudiar" = I'm going to study.
2. vamos Explanation: "Nosotros" uses "vamos." Example: "Vamos a comer pizza" (We're going to eat pizza).
3. a Explanation: Like all ir + a constructions, you need "a" before the infinitive. This question asks "Are you going to travel next month?"
4. Van a jugar Explanation: For "ellos" (they), use "van." This means "They are going to play."
5. voy Explanation: To make ir + a negative, put "no" before the conjugated form of ir. "No voy a trabajar" = I'm not going to work.
6. va a descansar Explanation: The pattern is always "conjugated ir + a + infinitive." This means "She is going to rest this weekend."
7. a (or "no" if negative) Explanation: "Vamos a" is the nosotros form of ir + a. This sentence means "We're going to eat pizza." (Note: The sentence already has "a", so this tests understanding of the structure.)
8. voy Explanation: For "yo," the form is "voy." Example: "Voy a aprender inglés" (I'm going to learn English).
