Ir + a + infinitive

Just as you use “going” + an infinitive in English to say what you are going to do, in Spanish you use a form of the verb ir + a + and infinitive to express the same thing:

ir + a + infinitive

(yo) voy a (infinitive)

(nosotros) vamos a (infinitive) (nosotras) (t

 Antes de+ infinitive Before + infinitive  Despu

 Ir + a + infinitive to be going to do something (in the near future)
