Begin with the complete conjugation of "ir" (yo voy, tú vas, ella va, nosotros vamos, ustedes/ellos van) before diving into three distinct usage patterns. Learn to express transportation methods using "voy en" with various modes including bicycle (bici), motorcycle (moto), car (coche), skateboard (patineta), taxi, subway (metro), plane (avión), bus (autobús), and train (tren), plus alternative expressions like "voy caminando" (walking), "voy a pie" (on foot), and "voy volando" (flying). Discover how to indicate destinations using "voy a" for cities, countries, and nearby places, as well as how this construction combines with infinitive verbs to express future intentions (voy a correr - I am going to run).
