Let’s talk about the future?… – Lesson nº18
TO GO – IR
I go – Eu vou
You go – Tu vais (informal)
You go – Você vai (formal)
He goes – Ele vai
She goes – Ela vai
It goes – ——-
We go – Nós vamos
You go – Vocês vão
They go – Eles vão (masculine) / Elas vão (feminine)
Now that we know the verb, we only have to add an infinitive, like this:
➢ Amanhã eu vou comprar um livro. (Tomorrow I will /I am going to buy a book)
➢ Para a próxima semana, vamos comer uma pizza. (Next weak, we will / we are going to eat a pizza).
We do this with all the verbs except for the verb “IR” itself. So, for instances, we never say “Amanhã, eu vou ir à praia”. That’s incorrect. If we want to say, “Tomorrow I will go to the beach”, we just say “Amanhã, eu vou à praia”. We just use the verb “IR” in the present, and that’s enough to express the future.
